    I didn't see a severe case (No obvious clusters of eggs) on the hen I lost and I didn't see any on him either so maybe there was more to why they both died. Everyone else seems to be in great health though. Bright red combs and active. I will be keeping a close eye on all of them for any signs...

    Haha! Just finished cleaning out 2 coops,runs and treating my chickens! Only took 3 hrs not sure if I could have done it any faster. What a challenge catching the remaining bantams. Thank goodness most of my big birds are fairly docile and it was close to roosting time. Will give a better...

    I'm thinking sevin dusting is going to be the best option due to the cold weather I can't spray them with anything liquid due to the cold negative temps. If anybody has a better idea please let me know before mid morning. I hate chemicals but I don't see any other option at this point I need to...

    Thank you for the advise ☺ he seems to be drinking enough either way for his size. His comb also seems to be getting a little colors back in it. I started him on duravet strike III peletized Natural wormer last night not sure how well or if it works at all but I figured its worth a shot...

    He has some of his attitude back which is kind of a good thing. He pecked me yesterday when I was changing the news paper in his cage and he felt a little heavier when I picked him up he's also clucking a little bit. Still not convinced he's better though his comb and wattles are still really...

    Update on little rooster. Only has two choices last night when I got home from work. 1. Bring him inside and get him warmed up and hope of the best. OR 2. Euthanize him. When I got home around 5 yesterday he was laying on his side and the bottom of his foot was frozen solid like a block of...

    Thanks Aart. As much as I don' have room in the house for a chicken hubby suggested I bring him in tomorrow and set him up in a small cage in a quite corner to help reduce stress and hopefully help him heal. What are your thoughts about giving him some sort of anti-inflammatory/pain reliever for...

    Well it's official winter is coming. All of my water dispensers and spigot were froze this morning it was 27 degrees outside. Looks like I need to get a move on wrapping the runs in plastic to keep snow out and hook up heated water dish. I put it off long enough we're supposed to get a few...

    My broody bantam hen just hatched 3 out of 3 eggs yesterday/today. I've been so busy I haven't been paying attention I knew it was getting close to hatch time but I didn't mark it on the calender. Hubby just called to tell me there's 3 chicks in the coop w Boots. Not sure what I'm going to do...

    Oh yea and im not sure if i shared this tid bit but my bantam hen is setting on three eggs again. Due to hatch in the next week..... don't really want or need more chicks I'm trying to thin out my big flock but oh well it was easier to let her set than try to break her. If they hatch they'll be...
