    Review by 'BrahmaGirl2018' in article 'The naturally good rooster'

    I am always interested in learning to read the behavior and actions of my chickens...both hens and roosters. This gives great insight to the traits to look for in a well mannered rooster (and hen), especially as we move forward to breeding this upcoming year. Thanks for the great info!

    Year old hen is limping...day #2

    They were vaccinated against Marek's as day old chicks. I only have the original 5 I bought together a year ago. Everyone is being nice to her. Even her BFF is hanging by her side as company. I will try to post a video in a little while. I have a crate to separate her, but it stresses her out to...

    Year old hen is limping...day #2

    ...signs of anything. I soaked her in warm Epsom salt water for almost 10 minutes this morning as well. Any other suggestions or ideas of how to help her? How long do these issues tend to take to resolve? * I have NOT separated her from her flock because she gets really stressed being apart from...

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    Update: We finished the 7 days of Miconazole 7. She is doing MUCH better. Way more energy and eating like a champ. Watching her weight and hoping it will start increasing quickly. Her crop is still not entirely empty in the morning (it is harder..about walnut size or smaller). I am really not...

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    ...doing the 2nd dose of oil in about 30 minutes. I have to leave for the afternoon, but I am sure she will be fine. Is there anything else I need to do other than continue the Miconazole or just keep this pattern for the next few days? *How often should she get the coconut oil after this second...

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    @azygous I have never given her any kind of oil. Exactly how do I do this without aspirating her? *Update...she ate it right up! That was easy enough. Will massage in 30 minutes.

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    Today is day #4 of her treatment. She is doing better (I think). She is eating more...she seems to A LOT more energy. I haven't caught her sleeping like she was. She stayed out with the other girl until right before dark instead of retreating to bed at like 6-6:30. The only thing that concerns...

    Coccidia in chickens

    If you are treating with Corid for Coccidiosis, I believe you do not use medicated feed during the treatment time. I used 2 tsp for a gallon of water (fresh daily) for 7 days. Then followed with probiotics and vitamins.

    Zuccini Plants are not growing Zuccinis

    You are lacking pollinators...if you want zucchinis you are going to have to pollinate the flowers yourself. Take a small paint brush and move pollen from one plant to another.

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    She is still with her flock...should she not have access to the crumble? I really haven't seen her eating it to be honest but don't want her eating anything that is counter productive. I will stop the massages.

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    ...(could be wishful thinking). She seems a bit more perkier so far this morning...we will see has the day goes on how she does I guess. Any help, advice or direction would be much appreciated! * I added probiotics to their water yesterday and Durvet Vitamins with Electrolytes in their water...

    Sour crop help?

    @Soot the silkie how did it go with your hen? I have one now that has the same issue (I believe so anyway). Crop was squishy and large (but still firm if that makes any sense--just not HARD) this morning...might have been that way yesterday as well, but I didn't notice. (Everyone will get daily...

    Review by 'BrahmaGirl2018' in article 'Understanding Your Rooster.'

    This is a great article that examines the motivations of behavior. I am keeping this for future reference and will be recommending it to other keepers that have roosters.

    Pullets or cockerel buff Brahmas?

    I am in NC, so not quite as hot and humid as Louisiana.

    Pullets or cockerel buff Brahmas?

    ...3-4 eggs most days from mine...wasn't expecting them to lay quite so many. I imagine during the heat of summer they will slow down. Keeping them cool is going to be a huge job I am sure....our summers are hot and humid...YUK. *They will all be a year old the end of July/beginning of August.*

    Pullets or cockerel buff Brahmas?

    Give it a few more weeks and you will know for sure on all four. They mature slower, so feathers, etc aren't always an accurate way to tell. (coming from someone that had two surprise Brahma roos and one I SWORE was a roo and is definetly a hen)

    Just a simple question about dosing oral Tylan

    If I give my pullet Tylan orally, exactly HOW do you administer the dose. Obviously adding it to her water would not be effective. I have heard you have to be careful about aspirating chickens because they not have an epiglottis and can easily swallow liquids down the wrong way. And...what...
