Hope this thread isnt too old for someone to help me. This is my first time raising silkie chicks. They r about 2 weeks old and r having a hard time pooping. I am giving them chick starter and eletrolites and probiotics in their water. One chirps real loud and fast when it is trying to poop. Anyone?
When it comes to figuring out if "older" chicken is hen or rooster, why couldnt you just see if the chicken has a vent or not? Roosters dont have vents.......do they?
Didnt know any other way to post a question. What can u do for frostbite on chickens after they allready got it and turn black or white or brown? Or should I do anything at all?
I sell my eggs by word of mouth and I have 49 hens and I cant keep up with customers . If u drive put out an add saying u will deliver within so many miles of ur house. Sell them at church. Sell them to ur friends... their mothers.. aunts..uncles.
You said a dog left puncture wounds on her back. I wonder if dogs teeth hit the spinal nerves and now she has permanent damage to spine which makes her unable to make her legs go in the right direction. Yes she does look like she has bumble foot.
It is nine months old. The tail feathers look like rooster. The othet day I saw this one showing the hens where some food was on the ground.I am baffled.
