    2 Year Old Buff Orpington Sick - I don't know what's wrong

    UPDATE: Checked her vent internally, didn't feel anything odd, eyes and nose clear, getting around a bit better, didn't notice mites - but she is losing weight. I noticed her yellow sister picking on her (puffing up, stepping towards her, pecking her comb) so I separated this one for a bit. I...

    2 Year Old Buff Orpington Sick - I don't know what's wrong

    In the last few weeks my 2 year old Buff Orpington hen has had a droopy, purplish comb. She's been eating well and getting around find, so I haven't worried about it. But the last 3-4 days she's not going into the coop at night (she has to jump up) so we've been picking her up and putting her...

    Should I deworm?

    My flock is doing well and healthy - laying nicely. However, I was wondering - should I deworm regularly? Only if they seem ill? What is the protocol for this? I want to keep my ladies healthy and happy. Thanks! Jenn K - Michigan

    Can We Eat Eggs while using Gordon's Poultry Dust?

Are we still able to eat their eggs? Or should we wait a certain amount of time before eating their eggs again? It does not...

    Hi there! Thanks for the ideas. Outsides of thighs... Does not seem to be bellies/butts - but I haven't looked that closely. These two are kind of skittish. They are not bald, so there are some feathers there, just look a little ragged/fluffy - not as sleek as before. I am feeding Nutrena 16%...

    Losing Feathers on sides of legs?

    Hi all! I have 2 Black Australorps that are about 8 months old and have recently begun laying. I've noticed that lately their feathers on the sides of their legs(?) are getting a bit ragged looking. They look like they've been falling out or been pulled out. The skin is not bare, just its like...
