    My Barred Rock Hen troubles?

    Okay, a few things here. I have said in previous posts that Mrs. Bok-bok lives in my garden bathtub. She had been doing very well until recently. She did have fowl crop. She has only had scabs once (they are long gone), but continues to have what look kind of like bruises on her beak and feet...

    Advice needed, please! I'm not a beginner but this has me stumped 🤔😟

    I have learned that you can add both ACV (apple cider vinegar) and iodine to chickens' water to boost their immune systems. I really hope you're able to help these poor birds!

    How to build perches for baby chicks?

    My only concern with not using chick feed is coccidia, which my latest chicks got. I lost 4 to it before I realized the mistake I had made. Unless you have healthy adults whose poop you can share with the chicks, they need medicated chick feed for a bit. I was planning to do that, but then my...

I don't know how to tell if she's emptied her crop, but she's been eating and drinking the same and soiling her bedding the same. She doesn't make any sounds of...

    Fowl Crop possibly lingering?

    Thank you. I just don't understand why it's sticking around, why Mrs. Bok-bok hasn't developed any more scabs, and why she isn't laying eggs. Mrs. Bok-bok is an indoor hen, yes. It was supposed to be a very temporary situation, but has become not-so-temporary. My hard-working husband just...

    Fowl Crop possibly lingering?

    Sorry this is a little long, but I'm a bit wordy and don't know how to stop. Also, I want to provide as much information as I can to aid in any assistance I might receive from those who respond to this post. Thank you in advance! My barred rock hen has lived in our smallish garden bathtub for...

    Hello from Texas!

    Hello everyone! Newbie here in Texas. We started out with a mixed breed bunch of 10 chicks varying from 1 to 3 weeks in age (didn't realize that at first). Knew even less than I know now, which still isn't a WHOLE lot! They lived in our bathtub in relative peace until they were a couple months...
