    Diving back in- but chickens won’t live with me, thoughts?

    They make Bluetooth ones that do, just those only work from your home.

    Oooh goody roundworms

    Yup, @Eggcessive, @Wyorp Rock, @dawg53 and a few others have educated thousands of us on treating our chickens for worms!

    Diving back in- but chickens won’t live with me, thoughts?

    I second (or third) the suggestion to get a camera, maybe two. One inside the coop that doesn't record constantly, but you can view it from your phone so you can check on them, and one outside to catch any 4-legged or 2-legged predators. We use Blink from Amazon, but there are several that...

    How Much Longer??

    First-year layers should lay through the winter. It's just we're always impatient for those first eggs. I've been waiting 7 months for a silkie of mine.

    Please help! 2 healthy pullets passed away out of nowhere

    Ivermectin isn't used anymore for treating worms as its effectiveness has diminished and not considered a dewormer by most here. That's not saying it didn't kill the roundworms had that been what they had, but you can't be sure. Ivermectin for chickens is mostly used to treat SLM (scaly leg...

    Flying with eggs internationally. X-rays

    There aren't any peer-reviewed studies that follow fertilized eggs through an airport scanner to hatch and beyond. Most I've read is where higher levels of radiation did affect mortality, but presumably the lower level used in airports wouldn't. I would not take that chance and just ask...

    28 Degrees Too Cold for Ointment?

    As long as she's eating/drinking fine, I'd let her back out with the rest, but I wouldn't put that on at night. I'd put it on in the morning when she's mobile. Under her wing the other chickens can't see it so that part's a good thing, and also, it'll stay warm.

    Molting in winter

    Do you have some not molting? You could make sure the molting ones are in between the non-molting ones if they'd put up with that. Are the subzero temps just for one night or is this going on for days/weeks? I'd say bring them in and put them in your basement, but then you've got the issue...

    Rooster Stopped Crowing and Sounds Congested

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! I'm wondering if the owl got him with its claws, as a toenail may have pierced his lungs. He'll need an antibiotic if that's the case. Can you look him over very closely to see if you can see a puncture wound? In the meantime, do you have any Poultry Cell...

    Help! Is this frostbite?

    Hi! I'm not saying it's not, but usually it's on the tips of the comb. Could that be pecking injuries? If it IS frostbite, most recommend doing nothing. Putting vaseline or other ointments on it can exacerbate the issue and be painful.

    Molting in winter

    If they have bare skin, I'd put them in your garage or somewhere warmer. Sub zero as in BELOW zero on bare skin and they won't survive. If you have electricity to your coop, I'd at least get them a Cozy Coop radiant heater. They can lean on that.

    Meds On Hand?

    Most everything has expiration dates on it. Sure, a month or two over probably doesn't matter, but these things are expensive. We've currently got Corid (2nd bottle) and Amoxycillin (2nd time) here. Corid, we pick up when we need at TSC. The Amoxy, I ordered online and it took a couple of...
