Hi Peeps, I need advice please. This is my first attempt of introducing a new flock of 4 to 1 older 5 yrs old hen. My 4 ( two and half month old chickens) have been introduced slowly and are now in the same coop. There are a few issues. The first issue is that 1 of them is a silkie. They...

The other concern is that the other chickens are not quite themselves too. One has lost quite a bit of weight. I will look into getting a fecal float done. Appreciate your input.

I did mix DE into their feed today. But this girl is not eating a thing. Thank you for the Epsom salt idea.

Hi BYC peeps, I have a sick Australorp. She is about 5 years old. A few days ago she was walking and all of a sudden her tail would drop. Then she was having issues walking in general. She was sitting very fluffed up. Now two days later she is laying on her side. I have her quarantined now from...

Hi BYC Group, I have a 2 yrs old golden wyandotte that today is lethargic and had a yellow white liquid coming from her vent. I gave her a bath and did not notice any shell pieces or egg around her vent. It was not prolapsed either. I also noticed that her toe nails look longer than everyone...

No, she looked awesome on Sunday free ranging and last night all was fine.

She was laying and had an egg yesterday so I don't think it was egg bound. I read up on the heart attack but she was not found keeled over. She was snuggled into a corner of the coop. So, it was almost like she had been not feeling well. Ugh, I just have no idea ;o(

I haven't been on in awhile. Just lost a chicken last night. I have no idea why so I posted the questions. Just wanted to tell you that both my boys graduated from St. Martins of Tour and Bellarmine as well ;o) So, go Bengals and Bells!

Hi All, I lost a chicken today. I have not noticed anything wrong with her except that her comb looked a bit floppy to one side and dry. It was not dark at all. She was super active and healthy over the weekend when free ranging. Any ideas? I am a bit freaked out right now for my other 3 girls ;o/

Hi Terri, I'm in SJ too ;-) I live near Valley Fair. I am a newbie. My four girls are 2 mos. By chance are you related to Diane Hughes?

Precious.

Hmmmm....never really thought about it because there is a Central area as well but if you had to draw the line I think it would be San Luis Obispo area.

I think I need to bust out the Champagne for a toast! Woot woot!

Thank you very much!
