    Chicken with a cold?

    My 5 year old Rhode Island Red has been sneezing a lot and has a runny nose. Her eyes are also sort of watery. She's been eating, drinking, foraging, as normally as the other chickens and they do not seem to have any of her symptoms. She's also been lying down and sleeping a lot more than usual...

    How old are chickens when they start laying eggs?

    I have 4 pullets, 3 white rocks and 1 white leghorn, that are a little over 4 months old. I was wondering how old chickens usually start laying at? And that if I should expect the first eggs to be really small or soft shelled? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you :)

    What breed is she?

    An update on Miu, she has developed white earlobes and a tall, straight tail. It's safe to say she is most likely a leghorn.

    Vomiting chicken?? please help!

    I am not sure what caused it, but I had felt her crop and there didn't seem to be any lumps or sharp objects. It was sticky and clear. It didn't happen again since I made the post, so I am assuming that she has recovered. I am still going to keep watch incase it happens again. Also, this wasn't...

    How to tell if my pullet is a rooster?

    Yes, she is most likely not a rooster. Her looks are quite similar to the other pullets and I haven't heard any rooster-like sounds from her. She is 3 months old and looks just like a regular pullet. Here is the most recent picture of her

    How much sulfadimethoxine for 4 pullets?

    Hello, I have bought some sulfadimethoxine soluble powder for 4 pullets. It says on the package to put the contents into 50 gallons of water. I have a 1 gallon waterer. I did some math and found out that I would put in 0.45 teaspoons per gallon. Would the dosage be less though, because my...

    Sick pullet; swollen and red face

    I couldnt find any Tylan at the stores (besides the injectable kind, but only for pigs and cattle) but what I did find was sulfadimethoxine soluble powder. It says on the package that it can be given to chickens, but doesn't say anything about helping respiratory illnesses. I bought it but...

    Tylan powder; can you feed it to healthy pullets?

    I have 4 pullets, 1 is sick and the rest seem to be healthy. Is it safe to feed it to all of them, even though not all the pullets are sick? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Sick pullet; swollen and red face

    I have another fully grown chicken that might have given her an illness, but as far as I know the other chicken has no illnesses. I have the pullet isolated from the others at the moment and am working on getting the antibiotic. Here is what my pullet looks like.

    Red feet?

    Hello, my chicken has been indoors for almost 7 weeks. We let her walk on the carpet sometimes, and I noticed the bottoms of her feet are red and very squishy. I can't remember if her feet were like this when she was outside or not. It doesn't seem to bother her too much, but I just wanted to...
