    Manson Eye Worms HELP

    I would continue using the VetRX & flushing out their eyes. As for being contagious among chickens, I know the eggs make their way to the bird's feces and if they were to consume it, it could spread to other chickens so make sure to clean out the pens and coop thoroughly. I've also heard where...

    I rescued a neglected rabbit and its sick.

    I sent your post to a lady I know that has raised rabbits for years to see what she would recommend doing. This is her reply. "Direct them to the group 'Backyard Meat Rabbits' on Facebook. Have them post the same post and their location once the group accepts them as a member. Also tell them...

    Combine, re-sort flocks or... What?

    If your big pen is big enough for two roos to be in and not fight, I'd say put all the chickens in the big pen and put the chicks in the small pen, since 31 chickens should be enough hens for both roos. Just make sure the roos don't start fighting. If they do, immediately separate them...

    Poultry pampering?

    We normally trim our chickens wings to help prevent them from getting out of our pen, since they live with our goats. But never have I heard of bathing a chicken, especially since they take dust baths on their own. That just seems kinda bizarre to me :lol: The oil on the legs is a treatment for...

    Premature egg?

    Sounds like calcium deficiency. Often when chickens aren't getting enough calcium in their diet the shells of their eggs will not form to be hard and come out soft. If you don't already, offer oyster shells to your chickens. Some people also will crush and bake their chicken's egg shells and...

    proper feeding?

    What kind of pellets do you feed? That sounds like a good amount to me, as long as the feed that is always available is cleaned out regularly if your chickens are able to poop in it or if it gets wet from rain/dew.

    Goat with swollen leg after weathering

    Where did he get the tetanus shot at? I have had goats for years but I've never had a problem like this after weathering. If the shot was in his swollen leg that could be the root of the problem. You could also make an account on a goat forum, such as The Goat Spot. Although I'm sure many people...

    We have a broody! ... somewhere

    If you can follow her into the woods you might be able to find if she does have a nest. If she does have one it would be safer to move it outside of the woods as if any chicks hatch they would continue to go back in the woods. She may not want to return to the nest if moved, as some chickens...

    Wyandotte

    When it gets cold out my flock slows down tremendously in laying eggs. Or it could be she's been laying in a hidden spot where nobody looks (my hens seem to do this every day in the oddest of places!) does she have a nesting box to lay in? If there is a place where a predator could get to her at...
