Kaybats - I'm so sorry to hear about your chicken, its so tough to lose one. I don't have corid in my box.....I'm going tomorrow to get it because of your message so thank you !! Perhaps you've helped me save one of my chickens and others in the future :-). thank you so much for your post.
Great thread !! I am a very willing chicken sitter......I live in Seymour Tennessee just outside of Knoxville. I have a small flock myself and would love to trade chicken sitting duties with another local. My husband and I usually vacation separately due to the chickens. But if I had someone to...
I am so sorry for your loss...thats aweful. We lost 2 chickens, our favorite ones, to a fox....and we were crying for like a week or two. I can't imagine having 10 of my girls killed. Good Luck to you, hang in there........

We are the same way here in TN. We have 8 hens. All stopped laying when the days went shorter about a week ago and the nights started getting colder. I got 3 eggs today only. Very low on production.
Although I thought maybe its because I just did their first worming about a week ago.....so...
I've only been on the site since this year and its been fantastic. You will hear from such great people who are so knowledgeable and experienced. Glad to meet you and welcome to your new addiction !!
Cool this is great ! thank you so much ! Yeah my bloody poop matches more of the intestinal lining shedding and not the bright red poop.....I'm gonna wait a day or two to observe everybody and see how they do.
Much appreciated thank you !!!
