    Should I put my chicks outside?

    I have the same question, but I'm in CT and it's freezing cold here. Like upper 20's during the days and teens at night. We have 4 chicks inside. One is probably 6 weeks old or 7 weeks old. The other 3 are only like 3 - 4 weeks old. When I do put them out in the coop, I was going to put a...

    Odd looking droppings

    I looked at the chart, but I don't think these match any. This is from a less than a year old Amerucauna. She looked very lethargic this morning. Didn't even come out of the coop after 3 hrs.

    First hatches with Brinsea Octogon 20

    I did leave them vertical for the hatch.. it was just tipped over cause it is what happened with the chick moving around trying to hatch. This is my first time with the Brinsea. I didn't know you were supposed to remove the rails.

    First hatches with Brinsea Octogon 20

    We got our first hatches out of our new Brinsea. We started with 7 Icelandic eggs. After 4 days, we candled and found one not fertile. One was questionable. The rest looked good. We waited another 3 days and the questionable one had not grown, so we discarded that one. That left us with 5...

    Lethargic Americana Hen

    So basically it was a 50/50 mix of Wazine at just over a half CC? I have Wazine. I check the poop of the flock when I do head count and I have not seen any with worms in it yet.. but I can do a treat for it to the entire flock too.

    Lethargic Americana Hen

    It doesn't look like she has any food in her.. she went to the bathroom a couple times last night, and all it looks like is some white and clear liquid. She is standing up sleeping.. wings pretty drooped, tail down. I am going to try and feed her again around noon. I put a small amount of...

    We have been using an all flock type food because we have Guinea hens and peacocks too, and we have hens of all ages. They have a separate container that has oyster shell in one side and crushed granite on the other side. We did a general Corid treatment for the entire flock a couple weeks...

    Lethargic Americana Hen

    Here is a video of her. I believe she is about... 4-5 months old. She feels pretty thin. Normally we can't get near them. I brought her inside, and put out some water with Poly-Visol in it. I also mushed up her food. I took and made a little feeding tube from some airline tubing and a...

    Lethargic Americana Hen

    Two days ago, when doing my nightly count and closing the coop door, I found us one hen short. I found her under the coop, but since our coop is 10x16 I really had no way to get her. Occasionally we have one or two hens that I find in a short tree and I have to put them in the coop, so I...

    New pea's intro to one of the family members and our year old female pea.

    These peas were hatched out under a broody Cochin. All three hatched within a couple hours of each other. We believe two are black shoulder and one to be a cameo. This is their first time outside too.

    Chicken with open mouth breathing.

    We have a German Spitz who has had some breathing problems. Originally when we brought her in, you could hear gurgling. That was last Wednesday. We have had her on about 3/8cc of Tylan 50 once a day since then. Sitting her typing this, it sounds like she still has some sort of gurgling...
