    NAKED HEN

    Yes oyster shell is always available. Maybe I'll try to separate her for a while and see if anything grows. Thanks for the response.

    NAKED HEN

    Thanks for your response. No roos at this time, although I did have one when we first got her. She eats a soy free organic layer feed from Scratch and Peck Feeds, excellent quality. I did try a bag of feather fixer but nothing changed. I have never seen her being pecked, she is one of only 4...

    NAKED HEN

    One of my barred rock hens who is about 2.5 years old lost her feathers on her back and head during a molt about 1.5 years ago! She never regrew them! Other than looking awful, she has been a happy hen, laying about 3-4 eggs a week for all that time. Now she is losing more feathers around her...

    2016 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    It is with great sadness that I must report that "My Cousin Vinny" (aka: Vinny Dude-a-Roo) was carted off by Wily Coyote while defending his girls. He was a brave and lovable roo and will be incredibly missed. He died with great honor!

    Wazine use in laying hens

    Please, could some knowledgable person address the issue of wazine usage in laying hens. It says on the bottle that it is not for use in layers and yet I have read that many, many people seem to use it as the first step in worming. Even if you give it the 14 day no egg wait, it is still not...

    EGG LAYING CRAZINESS!

    Just an update: It's been a week and still no egg. She seems absolutely fine, so maybe she went thru early menopause! I would still like to know if anyone has had this happened, where a 1.5 year old hen just never lays again and it is not health related. Also, is it possible that a hen would...

    EGG LAYING CRAZINESS!

    Thanks for the response. I will continue to watch her for any signs of illness or if she seems to want to lay but can't. Thanks, again.

    EGG LAYING CRAZINESS!

    So, I have a 1.5 year old australorp hen. She has never laid a normal egg; they have always been very large, usually pointy on one end, occasionally banded, or otherwise misshaped. She would lay normally about 4 times a week. She has a sparse bottom that is pretty red looking, and was pecked by...

    RED TUSH

    Thank you again. The pic you posted does not look like what he has going on; the redness is like that but there is no feather loss and it is not swollen. The redness extends more up his body (about one inch). I will try to post a pic soon. Need someone to hold him. After talking with a...

    RED TUSH

    Thanks so much for the replies. He is definitely the ruler of the roost, none of the hens would dare challenge him. No oozing or smell. He is not sickly at all. I am thinking the Betagen is not such a good idea cuz it is a topical antibiotic and then I'd have to throw all the eggs out for a...

    RED TUSH

    I have a young rooster (about 1 year old) that has a very red, inflamed area around his vent and extending up about an inch. He does not have a pasty butt, so perhaps not vent gleet, but looks like similar. He had lice and I thought the redness was do to that, but was treated for the lice over...

    2 month old chick with injured shoulder?

    At first I thought it was her leg, then her elbow, but now consensus is it may be her shoulder. She displayed with limping, high stepping, falling over as she lost balance. After checking her out, no bumble foot, had been vaccinated for Marek's by breeder, eating and pooping okay, hobbling...

    How to re-unite momma and babies with flock?

    The mouse traps are only left out at night when everyone is locked up tight. They are removed before I let everyone out for the day. So, I think it is pretty safe. But I am thinking of moving the mother and chicks in the coop for the night, putting a nesting box on the floor and then in the...
