    Do Bay Leave do anything?

    I put a couple in beef stew, then remove them before serving. After they boil, you'll smell 'em! I know some use them in chili and other soups too. Oh, you meant for chickens? :) #3. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/top-50-herbs-for-your-chickens.77443/

    Hello form North Carolina.

    1/2" hardware cloth is what's recommended to keep poultry safe. If those coyotes, or any other nearby varmint gets hungry and smells chickens, they'll be stopping by. If you're not sure how secure your coop/run is, you can post pictures in this forum and folks will help you...

    Sick chicken

    I went to your other thread to see how this started. Is she laying eggs or none since? Does that stink worse than the usual chicken poop? That's looking like it could be vent gleet to me, so I think I'd go with some probiotics for a few days to see if that takes care of it. After dewormers...

    Introducing different aged chicks

    Two to three week old chicks can be okay as long as there's a few of them, they are getting close to fully feathered, and have a shelter to cuddle up in. I can't do that so soon with silkies at that temp unless I put a Cozy Coop radiant heater in their hutch. Try putting about an inch of horse...

    Impacted crop and alarming poop (photos)

    I am so very sorry! :hugs We have recently put a 10 mo. old pullet down. After nursing her for two weeks and seeing no improvement, we took to a vet who did an ultrasound and said liver disease or dysfunction. She had no symptoms other than what some would have thought egg bound or...

    Anyone in Caledonia or Racine Wisconsin that will help me petition for ducks?

    You could try seeing if anyone is from there in our Wisconsin thread. Otherwise, dropping an ad in your local paper might work to find others in a similar situation.

    Wobbly walk in 3 week chick

    I wouldn't be putting amprolium in their water as it's a product for curing coccidiosis, and if they had that, it would need to be given for at least five days straight, and no vitamins with thiamin in them. The B2 should help. It could take a week or two though.

    Star Gazing Success Stories?

    The dosage is fine. I already tried the poking them and putting in scrambled eggs and they wouldn't eat it. I took a whiff and I wouldn't either. One way: Hold her in your left hand like a football. Have the pill in your right hand. With your left hand, gently pull down her wattles, and...

    To Cull or Not to Cull

    I hadn't seen the video, and honestly, it's not showing too much, but I think by your description, there is either a torn ligament, tendon, or a dislocated joint, and it needs binding. Binding is usually what's done for splayed legs, but even if there's just one leg jutting out, binding the...

    Hello form North Carolina.

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow It looks so pretty there. Beautiful chickens! It also looks like you could have predators there. Do you have any issues thus far? If their coop is secure at night, that's the majority of it as most stuff happens at night. We're glad you're here!
