The vet isn't an option unfortunately. Her water also has oxytetracycline in it. I'm in California so getting antibiotics is tough. I stocked up on some before the law took effect.☹️
Good morning. I have a Polish hen that seems to have infectious coryza. Her eyes are swollen shut and weepy, she is congested and making noises as she breathes. She also has an odor coming from her face.
I'm giving her tylan 50, and have her separate in a hospital crate. The rest of the...
No pics. I tried, but he seemed to be in pain. Panting and not walking at all. I checked him over again and I think his leg is injured. So he's now in the hospital crate for a few weeks, and I'll see how he does.
I have a 4 month old Silkie Cochin cross rooster .(I saw him crowing, so I'm sure) A few weeks ago I noticed he was walking funny. Upon checking his feet, I noticed he has huge feathers... Real ones, not soft downy ones. It looked like the feathers were impeding his being able to stand or walk...
Hello All,
I have been growing fodder for several months, Taking off the summer because it got brown, slimy mold from the heat. I finally got back started again, and after a few weeks of good fodder, I am having problems that I can't figure out. The root mat is super thick, but the grass...
...found a small fan and have it running but facing the wall to disperse the air movement, but it got up again.
The incubator thermostat reads 100 to 102, but the secondary thermo shows 104*106.
There is water for humidity, and several large rocks to help hold the heat steady. What am I doing...
Donna The Chicken was enjoying her time in the lovely bubble bath... But the carrots and celery being chopped was being disruptive to her meditation time.
Today I went and bought some fertile hatching eggs from a breeder for my broody Buff Orp. The hens in her coops were HUGE! The Orpingtons were at least twice the size of my current flock, feed store Orps, EE's and RIR.
I currently feed Layer pellets, and snacks in the form of left overs...
Doesn't the water go bad/smelly quickly? I have a super small setup using plastic shoe boxes, but don't recycle it due to the smell.
I'm in Southern California, so the climate may make a difference.
I have a BO that is 8 months old, and noticed she is fluffing and clucking like she is going broody. I have eggs for her to hatch from a friend (I have no rooster) but am having an issue with the nest boxes. All 6 hens use the same nest box. I have 3, but apparently it has the best...
So here I go... I have 4 hens that I have had for only 2 weeks, and they are all sick. I started them on Cephalexin 2 days ago when I noticed one had a runny nose, but they are all rattling, coughing, and have swollen eyes.
I ran to get Tylan 50 at the feed store before they closed, and now...
I am sooo excited! I was a chicken "Herder" from 2008 until 2012, but have had to go chickenless due to living in an apartment.
But beginning the day after Thanksgiving, I am once again living in a rural community, with room for chickens and meat rabbits.
I am already looking at breeds that...
Hello all! I am making a quick drive to Keene California, in the Tehachepi Mountains no later than next weekend. If any Feathered friends need a lift down south, I can meet up with the receiving party. I will be passing through the following towns.:
Modesto, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Delano...
OOOO OOO! I just found the giant pumpkin seeds I was given two years ago! Not seeds that are really big, but seeds for giant pumpkins! They came from a pumpkin that was 700 lbs! It did not win, because our friend's pumpkin was 900+!!
They still look good, no mold or decay... but I no...
