    NEW- Silkie feed?

    Have you tried this yet? I just learned of it, but I have a mixed flock - bantams and standards. Wondering if anyone has fed this to a mixed flock such as this and what they thought about it?

    Bumblefoot surgery - with pics and "how to"

    How do you hold the chicken down while you work on the foot?! Do you have a helper stand there with you for the whole hour youre doctoring the foot? Trying to fiure out a way to do this on my own.

    Definitive treatment for depluming mites?

    What did you treat your coop with? And did you just do the 1 dose of ivermectin and it got rid of your mites? Or did you follow up with more doses somehow? I think I'm dealing with the same thing, even decreased eggs, and I've so far put 1 dose of ivermectin on the back of necks.

    Chicken run floor material

    Have you had any issues with your chickens eating your shredded paper/cardboard? Mine go to town with bedding pine shavings and I just keep thinking, hmmm that cant be good for them! I just know they would eat a ton of the white shredded paper. Seems like it might wad up in their gizzard and...

    Rooster killed other rooster, then my chickens ate it

    Are they young that haven't started mating yet? If not, that poor hen. She's got to be overmated so badly as the only hen to FOUR roosters! Even with 1 rooster she will be overmated. Get her out of there immediately! If they're young then know that roos mature faster than pullets so even a 3-4...

    Pullet laid 2 underdeveloped eggs under roosting bar

    No. I have others in the flock that are not laying yet. Plus I was trying to finish my bag of grower feed before making the switch. She eats the oystershell all the time. But she's still always after the tiny pebbles all over the ground. They have grit right next to the oystershell too. I...

    Pullet laid 2 underdeveloped eggs under roosting bar

    @HollowOfWisps @EggSighted4Life Here I am again! It's been 3ish weeks now. Same hen - her poops have not gone back to normal yet. She is still eating a lot of tiny pebbles and all of her poops are basically straight water with little pebbles in it? I think her egg laying has regulated as I...

    What is this in my chickens poop?! Sick pullet

    I decided to euthanize Mini today. Took her to a vet to have it done because I'm a wimp and can't do it myself! She was done. No longer eating or drinking. The little bit she had eaten before she stopped eating - her crop didn't empty all day yesterday and overnight. Panting for days now...

    What is this in my chickens poop?! Sick pullet

    UPDATE: She just pooped out another piece of that weird stuff! I put my finger there for size. I tried to kind of open it up a little If it's coming out in pieces will it eventually all come out and she would potentially be ok? Is there something I can give her to help clear it all out...

    What is this in my chickens poop?! Sick pullet

    UPDATE: I don't see much change with her. Today was her last direct dose of corid. She eats but only if I put her out with her crew. She is in a big XL dog cage inside the run with everyone else (I don't free range). She just lays there. When I let her out, she eats and drinks a bit and then...

    What is this in my chickens poop?! Sick pullet

    @Eggcessive Good to know. Thank you. I used to work as a vet tech and did fecal floats all day long. I know what I'm looking for doing my own. I just need a better microscope! From what I've seen on my microscope she doesn't have any parasites. I went in for a fecal float for my other sick...

    What is this in my chickens poop?! Sick pullet

    @Eggcessive I ordered both Baytril and the Sulfa. When they come in, which one do you suggest I try with her first? Assuming I shouldn't do both at the same time? Currently she's on the last day of her direct oral dose of corid and the last day of her Amoxicillin. Expected delivery on those...

    What is this in my chickens poop?! Sick pullet

    I give it orally. It doesnt mix well in water anyway. I put my powdered dose into a little kids cough medicine measuring cup along with 0.3ml of water. Mix it up and syringe it and give to the chicken. It seems to work well since 0.3ml is such a small amount so they arent held and forced for...
