Ingredients: 3 cups of Swiss chard 1 dry pint of blueberries 1/2 a cup of broccoli 1/2 a cup of watermelon 1/4 a cup of watermelon juice 1/5...

    Help with indoor isolated chicken

    Ooooof! You kept me thinking with that last question, I honestly didn't doubt it as the vet told me to do it. But i ran to check the formula: it's 0,6g lidocaine every 100gr of ointment (it's not antibiotic, it's just for healing. I give her antibiotic in drops -enroflaxacin). But a quick google...

    Help with indoor isolated chicken

    Hi! We have had to quarantine 3 birds in the past few weeks, including a very high energy rooster that started fighting the others and an injured hen. I created a "scratch bin" to put in their areas and provide some entertainment. I used a cat litter box and filled it about 1/4 of the depth...

    Heat Stress?

    If she's acting o.k., then I'd just monitor her. It does sound like she may have been going through a bit of a rough patch, perhaps having a hard time expelling an egg, but is now feeling better. Do you provide oyster shell free choice for the girls? If you don't, then I would suggest that...

    Heat Stress?

    It’s been about 85-90 degrees in Michigan lately, and i’m trying to best to keep my chickens cool (fans, frozen foods, fresh water, water with cool bricks, etc.) I came out to feed my girls and noticed one of my hens had a dirty butt. I gave her an epson salt bath and some (what I think is) egg...

    Rooster hiding from us!

    Just got him to come to us with tomatoes, and he ate some, and pooped a solid basically. He just went to his hens to check on them.

    Rooster hiding from us!

    I didn’t notice the peck marks, is it the black bits? Also, we bought mealworms yesterday for them and have tired to coax him out to us with them, he tried them yesterday so he knows what they are. We keep a frozen water bottle in their waterer and keep it under the shade at all times, cleaning...

    She probably isn't fully committed yet, if she was she wouldn't split when you come around.

    Sick Hen/flock

    Thank you, it bothered me that I couldn't do more in the short window of time I had to try to revive her, I'd had her 3 years along with the others in her group, not a problem otherwise with any of them, I have a little group of about 10 EE' and OE's feathering out in a grow out pen in my family...

    Flock becoming ill

    Thanks Thanks Thanks #JPadronMiami. As they say, a problem shared is a problem solved……….unless it’s chickens you’re talking about, and then the solving bit is a bit trickier. I am sorry to hear about your two girls. I have had chickens for about 41/2 years now, and my first two girls were...

    Wing It Ranch

    My gut says not to let her hatch. She's too all over the place. Switching boxes and sometimes roosting/sometimes staying in the nest box. She's set up in the grow-out pen (Aka broody jail). I put her back in there early this morning. She seems super chill right now. Scratching for bugs...

    Sick Hen/flock

    I'm sorry your lost a bird to heat stroke. They all struggle in this nasty weather so many of us are afflicted with. That's the best thing I've found works for us as well is frozen water bottles and fresh clean cool water, changed multiple times a day along with wetting down their run. Deep...

    2 year old hen never molted, lays soft shells

    I wanted to share that I have a similar situation to yours. I apologize in advance for this being long, but I thought it might be informative. I got my hen, Marceline, as a chick in February of 2023 so she's also 2 years old. Unlike the rest of my flock, she has technically never had a proper...

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    Regular size 6 slot silicon muffin tray will nicely hold about 1 egg per slot. I usually give them 2 or 3 frozen pucks and that would be good for a flock of up to 10. Not every day but for something special as a treat or if you've got sick chickens ok to feed for a few days till they're better...

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    scrambled eggs often go over very well. if it's really hot weather I freeze them in silicon muffin tins, maybe add some blueberries or similar and feed them the frozen egg pucks. it's always a big hit.
