    Feed efficiency

    I was just suggested a high protein feed. What percentage of fat do you suggest? I am currently feeding them game bird feed that is high in protein but that low in fat, while they molt to get them back into egg laying sooner along with corn. What do you feed your hens while they do molt and...

    Sick laying hen?

    I currently have 3 laying hens who have just begun to produce again. 1 of them was really shaking a lot and she seems more uneasy then the rest of them and more than she normally.

    Currently I have 3 laying hens but only 2 of them are are laying. For the longest time (about 6 months) they suddenly stopped laying. It was from the warm California heat through the cooler New Year. They suddenly are slowly beginning to lay again. Does anyone have any other idea why they...

    Which breed

    I'm trying to decide which hens to get. I currently have 4 Black Star/ Road Island Reds. I'm trying to keep the egg production up even with the 'not so sunny' weather that Southern California has been having recently. I figured I have room for 12 hens in the space that I have for them. I would...

    Sick hen bath

    No, not really. I knew that the effect that it has had on her eye won't get totally better. I've given her antibiotics for 2 whole weeks. Doesn't that make them uncontagious any more? I've also been giving her Tyland for the past few days to finish getting it all out of her system.

    Sick hen bath

    I have a hen recovering from MG. Her feathers aren't in the best of condition. There is stuff matted all throughout her feathers. Should I give her a bath? If so, how? I have been keeping her separate from my other hens.

    HELP! This hen has been sick for about 3 weeks now. I've been trying to figure out what it is. I've kept her seperated from the rest of my flock for just about as long. I thought it was Coryza but these photos show her only symtom, her eye. I've done as much research that I thought was possible...
