Thank you for replying. I don’t have a pic but I found one on Google that closely resembles it. No weird colouring. No mucus. No blood. I am seeing some loose stool under the roost and cleaning it up daily so they don’t all step in it. The bedding is soaking up the water in it. She doesn’t seem...
Jumping in on this thread. I had to do an abrupt change to my chickens feed from grower to layer. This was almost three weeks ago. I have a small flock of three (I’m in town). Two are fine. One is having watery poop like this for almost three weeks now. I’m doing electrolytes and even tried a...
Hi there. My girls are just about 22 weeks now. One is barnyard mix, BLW and barred rock. It’s the barnyard mix that’s having the GI issues. I ran out of grower before I could switch them to layer feed. So I had to do the switch abruptly. I will say they have had perfect poops before this. It’s...
I am in Southern Ontario and with our weather here in Canada I highly recommend a covered run - you don't want to be shoveling out snow during the winter. I used metal roofing panels. Plastic will work too. Hardware cloth all walls and floor so you don't have any predators breaking in. I use...
hi everyone ! I have a few hopefully pullets of various breeds (just putting the pullet energy out there) and wondering to get some feedback. I got three from the hatchery sexed as pullets as day olds and hatched three. They are all 4 weeks old almost 5 weeks now. Let me know what you think ...
Hi All - I'm wondering if anyone has any sasso silver (grey) sasso's? I'm wondering what your experience with their temperament is like and if you'd recommend them? Pics of adults would be fantastic! I have some day old's ordered from my local hatchery and can't find too much info on the breed...
Hi everyone. Newbie quail owner here. I have a quail that is 8 weeks old (according to the breeder I got her/him from)
The feathers on its breast look male but the vent sexing (and I’ve looked about 10 times trying to figure this out) is female. No foam (I’ve pushed all around trying to...
Hey guys! So I have a question about bumblefoot - I originally treated it about 6 weeks ago (dug out the infection, foot soak, polysporin, wrapped the foot for a week etc). Two of my girls had it on both feet. Their feet no longer seem red or swollen, but the scabs are there on 3 of the 4 feet I...
Hi there - I have one hen that has bascially been without feathers for the past 4 months. It was feather picking. I took care of all the things that could be causing it and rehomed the main culprit but I think it’s just a behaviour they’ve now picked up. Anyway. My husband was cleaning their...
Ya same - I also read that you can get it at the feed stores in the US. So much easier ! Its definitely frustrating when you’re trying to do the right thing and vaccinate but it’s like jumping through fire hoops lol. I’m trying to get people to give me the down low on how they got the vaccine...
That’s basically where I ended up. I found someone to source the vaccine but they don’t have the equipment to keep it longer than like 5 hours. All the vets here don’t have the equipment to keep it either. I got the ILT and Newcastle / bronchitis vaccines from the poultry vet here. But no...
