    Like they are drunk.

    Hi. There is place near me to have the dead bird examined that I know of. They have not been fed anything but their own feed, which has no mold and is good quality. I am trying to get in touch with the lady we got them from as chicks to see if she has had any problems with her birds. I am...

    Like they are drunk.

    Hi. I have 2 out of 3.....4 month old birds walking around almost like they are drunk. they are wobbly,uncoordinated and just plain messed up. I have isolated the 3 and put them on amprosol thinking it maybe coccidiosis. I have only had problems with coccidiosis in very young (less than a week...

    A very strange thing happened.

    I think I have determined what the problem was. It appears somehow that this young roo's coracoid bone detached from the humerous and caused him to loose the use of his wing and the his ability to stand or balance. I have no clue as to how this happened because he was in the Playpen coop with 3...

    A very strange thing happened.

    Hi. I have / had a young Wheaten Ameraucana roo about 4 1/2 months old. Last evening we went out to do the daily feed and water run like normal. I picked up the little guy and gave him him some attention. When I put him down he just fell over on his head. When I stood him up to see what the heck...

    Why do chickens eat feathers?

    One of my Speckled Sussex choked to death on a feather today. From the looks of the others in the coop....she had a fetish for feathers. Funny but the rest seem calmer now.

    Electrolyes plus ratio for small batches.

    Hi. My math brain is on the fritz ....Does anyone have the mix ratio for Electrolytes plus? The package says 400g / 750L of water. I only need to do about 2 to 4 L at once. Thanks.

    Chicks dropping dead?

    They are on medicated feed but not vaccinated. It looks as if coccidiosis is the culprit. All my other chicks are hen hatched and raised and we have had very good hatch and survival rates.I have never seen this before now. This batch was hatched in an incubator so I guess they had it when I got...

    Chicks dropping dead?

    I did notice a bit of blood in some droppings, but that was last week and only a little (figured it was from over eating). Some of them that died were very active and some were not. I have lost 5 as of last night. There is one that seems a bit unsteady on his/her feet but remaining chicks are...

    Chicks dropping dead?

    Can anyone think of a reason why 2 weeks old Speckled Sussex chicks would start to die (lost 4 in the past 24 hours) for no apparent reason? They are housed in a new broody box...clean bedding....good feed and water.....temp at about 85 degrees. I am at a loss....and soon will be at a money loss...

    Is there usually time to scare away a hawk? I did this evening!!

    If you saw a large bird take off from a tree it probably was not a Sharp Shinned. These hawks are very small but will kill pigeons and doves and will carry them off. A large chicken might be out of their weight class but who knows. The best thing I have for keeping hawks away is feeding a small...
