    Coughing sneezing, runny nose!

    Tetracycline is for eye infections I believe. You should try Tylan 50 or Duramycin for respiratory illness. However, make sure you follow directions with dosage and also DO NOT harvest eggs for 30 days after starting.

    Chickens Eating Too Much?

    I have 24 hens and they eat a 40lb sack of food every week. Does that seem right? They didn't go through this way food in the summer, fall, and early winter.

    What are favorite scraps? And what not to feed...

    Mine are exactly like this. I tried to feed them all types of lettuce/spinach but they refuse to eat it. However, the entire flock will destroy a head of cabbage in a day or two when I hang it in their run.

    Offering Oyster Shell and Grit

    What type of container do you guys use to give oyster shells/grit to your flock? I need some ideas to offer these without the chickens scratching and spreading all over the coop.

    Breeding Chickens That Were Hatched Together

    Not sure if this is the right thread but I was wondering if it's alright to let chickens mate who are siblings? I mean, I'm not letting them but they run free and I'm sure will keep breeding. If not, what should I do to make them stop? Trap and cull?

    Eggs Hatching Several Days Apart

    She is a Black Breasted OEGB and the rooster is a Golden Grey Duckwing. No other hens live in her coop so the eggs were all hers.

    Eggs Hatching Several Days Apart

    My Old English Game Bantam laid 18 eggs and finally set on them a couple weeks ago. The hatch date was supposed to be 8/17 but they've been hatching the past couple days with a few more pipped and on the way. My understanding is that they were all supposed to hatch together. Now I'm confused...

    Mom abandoned eggs, 3 out of 9 hatched.

    Mine hatched 9 out her 18 eggs yesterday. So should I remove the chicks to a brooder and let her hatch the rest? If I do that, will she accept the chicks if they're out of her sight for a week or so? I don't want her to peck them when returned after the remaining eggs are hatched.

    Eggs on day 19 cracking?

    I have eggs that hatched a week earlier than what I thought because the hen didn't start going broody until two weeks ago. However, when I went to check on her in the morning as I usually do, there were a few chicks hatched. When I returned from work today, there was a total of seven chicks...

    red jungle fowl

    I just grabbed a few and brought them home to release them in my backyard. My original plan was to build a pen along my back fence but I read that they'll survive on their own. Maybe next summer I will build that pen. It's got trees that are big enough for roosting spot but small enough to...
