    Gnats Killing Chickens

    How do the gnats kill the chickens? We don't have that problem here, so I'm very curious about it. Thanks!

    Coccidiosis Help?

    She is very lethargic and her poops are bloody and runny and yellow. I'm so worried and see so many different treatments through my online searches. I can't afford any kind of vet help.

    Coccidiosis Help?

    I am pretty sure one of my hens has coccidiosis, and I would like to treat it ASAP. From what I've read so far, I should give her Amprolium. Should I treat all 7 of my hens and is Amprolium easily attainable? Thank you in advance!

    Who lays a speckled brown egg?

    I get the dark spots and the light spots too, but it is not consistant, and I agree that it's not breed-related. Those dark spots will wash right off if you get the egg wet and rub it a little. Also, when wet, the spots looks like blood, which leads me to believe that some eggs get blood on...

    Chicken Truck Rescue

    Thanks, all of you, for your advice! I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with my obese fall-off chicken. My daughter has named it Finlay, so she has put in her 2 cents-worth. She (I assume it's a girl) has perked up a bit and can actually walk. My husband and I are going to bathe her...

    Chicken Truck Rescue

    I found a chicken tonight that fell off a chicken truck. I really don't want the extra work, but I couldn't just leave it in the road to get run over and possibly die slowly. I wonder if this type of chicken should just be euthanized, or can it be rehabilitated? It is not injured as far as I...
