    Euthanasia Through Carbon Monoxide

    Do you still have the pictures of your set up? I have to put down one of my chickens today and am a little leery about doing this. I’d feel much better if I saw your picture. This is the first time I’m having to do this and want to make sure I’m doing it right. Thanks,

    Egg bound

    Meant to ask you how often should I give her a tablet? Can I give her one a day until I get results?

    Egg bound

    I believe my 3 year old hen is egg bound. She is lethargic, not eating or drinking, walking all hunched over with her tail drooping. I separated her from her flock two days ago and put her in a dark warm place. Today I have been giving her warm baths every couple of hours with gentle massage...

    New chickens

    I have four 3 year old chickens and decided to add 3 more chickens to my flock. When the new ones were fully feathered and about 12 weeks old I put them outside in a separate cage with my older girls. I kept them in the cage for almost a month so the older ones would get to know them through...
