I found information and dosed the hens at 1 teaspoon per gallon in their waterer. My little anemic Bunny was the...

    When to introduce mom and chicks to other chickens? URGENT!

    You may be reintegrating momma also. She is an outsider now, having been separated for 7 weeks. Keep a watch. She may be protecting herself over her babies.

    Do I have a rooster? Are these Barred Rocks or Dominiques??

    I think they are both female and two different breeds, which may be what is making sexing so difficult to begin with. Can’t compare apples with oranges. Legs, waddles, head shape look different to me, and one is obviously lighter.

    This is an old thread but wow, did it get me hot! For future readers, please make sure you have your brooder plans together and brooder already warmed BEFORE you bring the chicks home. And they are not children’s pets until they are full grown. 🙄

    Wheezing? Emergency!! Help now please!

    She is a 1 year old Appenzeller Spitzhauben. No issues with any of the flock. No sickness or disease. No respiratory issues. Happy healthy girls. This was sudden onset. Sounds like an accordion wheezing in and out. I gave her bread soaked in olive oil and waiting to hear from someone with ideas.

    Why Do Bantam Hens Crow?

    I know this is a late response, but one of my bantams does the EXACT same thing -and she has layed eggs! I know she is a she. She is also our little sweet snuggle bird and demands attention.

    Bare backed and sun burned

    I agree, meat processing is rather an inexpensive quick fix if you cannot place them. Just be careful on Craigslist so they don’t get used in cock fighting rings. The thought seems cruel.

    Bare backed and sun burned

    I agree with removing the roosters. Maybe find a nice farm for the extra boys. There is much value in roosters and there are people who depend on them to protect large flocks and keep rodents and pests down. As far as your girls, I would provide them with shade, peace and quiet away from an...

    Help! Stalking... or Friendship?

    ...and it’s even worse when they survive and you nurse them back to health for 2 weeks, changing bandages and syringe feeding in the middle of the night to keep them alive and hydrated. I love my chickens. They are not just my flock but my friends. And I agree, when you can only have a small...
