    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Is it just the age that causes poor egg quality then? I didn’t think 5 was that old :( . Or would it be the vitamin d or something else they are missing like magnesium, phosphorus etc? Also I noticed that after the small amount of poultry cell I gave my bald chicken she grew a couple feathers...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    I have thought about toxicity, and I honestly don’t know. my last hen died from internal laying due to what seemed like cancer in her oviduct. Apparently shavings can cause cancer? I use horse shavings in my coop so maybe that’s causing issues for them? I’ve pretty much ripped the walls off to...

    Pain medication for dogs

    has anyone ever had a dog prescribed metacam and gabapentin? My dog is taking them for pain she fractured her foot. Her night dose of gabapentin is coming up and she took her chewable metacam pill (1 every 24 hours) and she is very out of it and seems to be tired or relaxed. Is it safe to give...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    On those labels (bc it’s been hard to get a straight answer it varies between brands) is the amount on the label what is in the entire container? If so how do you figure out if it’s enough per serving? These containers have a lot of doses in them but Are they getting little tiny amounts every...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Yes and no on the foraging. I have a chicken tractor, a caged area I move that is on grass, and like 3 nights a week I let them fully free range before it gets dark when I get home from work. The property is very flat. And the farms surrounding are the same so not many places to hide and there’s...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Replying to myself so hopefully it’ll be easy to find. This may be a little over board but these are my hens and what they look like/ their issues. If u see anything that looks unhealthy or a pattern I’m not seeing let me know please. (I am in my PJ’s so I apologize)

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Actually I was reading about that today. How important phosphorus and potassium is for chickens but I had a hard time finding any supplements for them in my search locally that seemed to have sufficient amounts if any at all. Is there a way I can supplement that for them? Are there certain foods...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    I will attach images with some of the things I have tried that I still have. These aren’t consecutive as they have had large breaks in between and I only tend to use them when I’m noticing an Active problem. I try not to overload them. I only use things for the recommended length of time. The...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    I realize that maybe I posted this in the wrong place. I figured it was better here than in the disease section since it is about food. But let me know if I should repost the thread there and I will delete and do so :)

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    All my hens seem to have a massive nutrient imbalance. I have had an issue with birds getting sick all from things that point to a calcium deficiency. Or at least some kind of mineral deficiency that I cannot figure out. I have been giving calcium in multiple different ways and it doesn’t seem...

    How to know when canning lids are no good?

    That’s a good idea, I hate to waste brand new lids (they’re definitely not cheap lol) so it wouldn’t hurt to try them out in comparison

    How to know when canning lids are no good?

    Perfect thank you! I haven’t had to buy jars in years so it was just odd to see and I wasn’t sure.

    How to know when canning lids are no good?

    Good morning! I recently had to buy new mason jars for canning. I know not to use the same seal/lid more than once but buying new jars I assumed I could use the lids that come with the jars. But the out of package jars are closed soooo tightly that the seal on the lid looks indented. Are they...

    Non-emergency, Disinfecting for mereks and other diseases

    When I search that on Amazon this is the only thing that shows up for me. Is this similar? Or is a 10% bleach solution a better option?

    Non-emergency, Disinfecting for mereks and other diseases

    quick question: I visited my friends coop to help with some chicken based concerns they were having. Before going back to my own coop how can I disinfect myself to make sure I’m not carrying any diseases including mereks back to my flock? I have changed my shoes and clothing as well as wiped my...

    Feeding canned pumpkin

    Probably a very stupid question but can I give my chickens pure canned pumpkin? I googled it and google says no because there is too much sugar and too many additives. The can I have says 100% pure canned pumpkin and the sugar is 3G per 1/3 of a cup which doesn’t seem like an outrageous amount...
