    How many have you ate ?

    Uhm, I'm not a doctor, but I would NOT suggest doing that. Consuming tons of eggs every day could be very dangerous. Eggs are extremely high in cholesterol. Sell the eggs, give them away to people, or give them away to a food bank. Please don't eat 12+ eggs a day...

    Coccidiosis - Treatment and aftercare questions.

    I never got a paper with any information on it, so I'm not sure what the dewormer was. They just had me take home some syringes with the stuff already in it. The vitamin mixture is Durvet Vitamins & Electrolytes. I'm making a little chicken first aid kit also, I'll probably post about it soonish...

    Coccidiosis - Treatment and aftercare questions.

    She is SO MUCH better today. We're just going to continue with what he prescribed, along with a vitamin + electrolyte supplement in their water.

    Coccidiosis - Treatment and aftercare questions.

    The vet I went to is supposed to be a livestock vet. 😬 I could probably ask them to run a fecal test. There is a livestock vet that's further away that I could maybe try also.

    Coccidiosis - Treatment and aftercare questions.

    About 1-2 hours away, I think so. I did raise my eyebrows a bit when the vet said that "Her comb looks pale, it should be red." She's only 8-9 weeks old, and I told him that. Do you think it'd be worth it to try what he gave us, or do you think it'd do more harm than good?

    Nope, no fecal test.

    Coccidiosis - Treatment and aftercare questions.

    My girl Clover has been acting iffy over the past few days. She's been lethargic and seems to have lost a bit of weight. Her poops looked to be normal at first, but then she started having watery poops. We took her to the vet today. She pooped on the table at the vet, and there was a red mucousy...

    What would be the benefits of building a larger run?

    Update and a question! We got the roof mostly done! We were short a couple panels, so we'll be finishing it up tomorrow. It definitely helps with the temperature. You can feel how much cooler it is under there with the roof on! It'll rain tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. Now we have the...

    What would be the benefits of building a larger run?

    The roof frame is done! We're putting the roofing panels on next week. We've got to finish the skirt, the doorframe, and some side strips in the meantime. We're getting there!

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    To those of you that are having this issue, is it a covered run or an uncovered run? We're building a covered run, and I'm concerned that it won't be enough. It rains a ton here, and I wonder if the surrounding area puddling up is enough to make the run itself muddy.

    What would be the benefits of building a larger run?

    Yeah, we picked the 3' size because it's way easier to work with and fasten on to the kennel panels. I'm weak as hecc and it was super easy to do! Time consuming, but easy. 🤣

    What would be the benefits of building a larger run?

    We bought two 100' rolls of 3' wide hardware cloth. That is enough to cover the entirety of all the panels. If we didn't have minks and weasels in our area, we'd only need one roll to do the bottom half of the kennel panels and it would have been way easier. 😅 We applied it horizontally with two...

    What would be the benefits of building a larger run?

    Thanks! We used 1/2" 17 gauge hardware cloth from DeerBusters. The wiring is 19 gauge, but it's 17 gauge with the coating. We used metal zip ties from Amazon to fasten the skirt to the run, and also to fasten the mesh to the kennel panels. We used hog rings to get the mesh nice and snug against...

    Is this a Speckled Sussex or a Jubilee Orpington?

    I think Jubilee Orpingtons are bigger and fluffier with a more rounded tail. Your girl looks a lot like the Speckled Sussex I used to have.

    Brizi's Chick Growth Tracking (Updated 04/01) Week 6

    WEEK 6 Group photo of my pretty girls! I'm no longer worried that they're cockerels. They've all got flesh-colored combs and wattles with just a hint of pink. Molly (the Leghorn) and Clover (the New Hampshire Red) are still friendly as ever. Lindy Lou (the Cuckoo Maran) has started to get a bit...

    What would be the benefits of building a larger run?

    It's slow going, but at least it's going I guess. 😵‍💫 We got 2 of 16 panels completely done, skirt and all. The other panels are about halfway done.

    Best way to rid chickens of lice?

    Would you say that this is safe to use as a preventative measure in a dust bath?

    My newest addition - name suggestions?

    I really like Maisie, because she looks like a little rough-and-tough scrappy girl like Arya!
