    Introducing new chick is becoming deadly

    Hi everyone, I've been without chickens for years but I'm back. I always had a lot of chickens but now I have two inside under a heat lamp. Okay, so I bought a silkie chick and a Cochin bantam chick. Both straight run but I love the breeds. The silkie started crowing so I had to re-home him. I...

    My Duck has infection inside head that comes out her eyes and sometimes has abcess I sometimes drain

    Ping is doing much better. I had tried everything could think of and asked a lady if she could suggest anything. She asked if I was willing to go crazy since nothing else worked. I said yes. I have been giving penicillin made for cows in pings thigh for weeks. 1cc at night. Ping is a huge Peking...

    My Duck has infection inside head that comes out her eyes and sometimes has abcess I sometimes drain

    Went to the farm store where I bought Ping. Thank heavens there is a great lady there with tons of ideas. I bought Penicillin to inject as well as a tube to insert directly in the hole in Ping face. This is yesterday and it broke my heart but at least the puss was escaping Pings face...

    My Duck has infection inside head that comes out her eyes and sometimes has abcess I sometimes drain

    Thank you for suggestions. I'm trying antibiotics in water. I think a good thing happened to Ping tonight. The "black spot" near her bill tonight looked especially nasty. So I pulled out the dead tissue with clean tweezers. 5-7 ml poured out of her face also because her cheek split open. I saw...

    Misaligned Beak

    Yea, I did trim her beak with nail clippers and an emery board to shape. I think it helped a little. I have 14 VERY fat hens that are treated like spoiled babies. They have a special "hen blanket" and I nap with my hens. They are only expected to give me eggs.

    Misaligned Beak

    Oh my! I had no idea dog and cat food was bad. All my chickens eat it along with regular chicken food. I will no longer let them eat the dog and cat food. Thank you! I am so in love with my hens. I have never heard of scissor beak before, but I googled it and you are spot on. My poor "Mop Top"...

    Misaligned Beak

    Noticed a couple weeks ago my pullet Polish has a misaligned beak. I can not imagine how she might be injured, inherited? She can drink & eat cat/dog food so she is fat and happy. She cant eat chicken food or maybe she doesn't like it. She is a normal beautiful Polish pullet hen otherwise. Any...

    Sprayed chickens with hose and now sounds like crackling in lungs.

    They are doing great! I think I got water in their mouths.........as strange as that sounds. My flock is happy with the ice water and cold watermelon. They say, thank you :) I have a mister set up that runs from the faucet so its always running now during the day. I was turning it on after it...

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/sealy-booth-the-gorgeous-silkie-roo Sealy is a GREAT roo but my neighborhood does not appreciate his crowing. I am asking $35 for just him. I wanted to breed him with his wife Silkie. He is a pet and VERY tame and affectionate. If you want his hen as well...

    Sprayed chickens with hose and now sounds like crackling in lungs.

    I have been reading threads for hours and cant seem to find one that fits my issue. I live in Texas and it is over a hundred degrees. I have a mister going in the backyard, I spray the soil to cool it, put out cool in a bowl (that is big enough to get in to if they want) water a couple times a...
