    Got Some 4 week old chics today; sneezing

    Chickens dont get colds. Chickens do not sneeze becasue they are cold. Chickens dont gurggle when they are cold. These chickens are SICK. Take them back and sterilize EVERYTHING they have touched. FYI they look older than 4 weeks. You got ripped off. Probably Infectious Coryz or some other...

    Info overload re: using antibiotics

    First mistake....once a chicken gets sick...esp. with anything that is respitory...you NEVER EVER EVER NEVER put them back in the flock even when they are well....many healthy looking birds are carriers of infectious coryza. You cull them, you give them to a friend or auction with a...

    Silkie with wry neck, again. Now, aspiration pneumonia?

    Sorry for your loss also but I'll say it here and everywhere else I can on here....too many people are "KILLING" their "PET" chickens with "whatever they read on these forums" to do.

    Where do you put the dirty bedding when you clean the coop?

    I live on a farm and we just spread it around......trust me in becomes good old fashioned "dirt" in a very short course of time. you can also burn it, esp. if youve had any chickens with the "funk". It makes an ash pile and chickens LOVE an ash pile to bath in-help keeps parasites off them.

    comb damaged and vent dirty

    Sometimes people on here are too quick to kill birds with kindness (force feeding etc.) Mother nature is the best healer. Highly doubt its fowl pox...trust me your vet would recognize as would most people from 20 paces...its rather visable and highly contagious. Just let her be her...if she's...

    Please Post Pics of Hen & Clutch Coops/Places

    I just shove mine in a roomy cage once they hatch...they brood with the rest of the herd, I mean flock. ;) but once chicks hatch they get put up in a cage as my chickens free range-too much risk of babies becoming crow and hawk snacks. Any ol cage will do, throw some hay in and they are happy as...

    Lost a chick (2 wks) - bad idea to bring home new chick?

    Most def. get a chick or 2 from the same place...they just get them thur the hatcheries. The only risk you run with feed store chicks, is that every tom dick n harry that has chickens and is in buyng their chicken feed is handling the chicks ( you know...the ones who DIDNT wash their hands or...

    Dry Hatching WORKS in a still air LG! I just broke all the rules and it worked!

    If its a Still Air which Im guessing it is...get your eggs in and then put the cheapie thermomoter that it comes with on TOP of the eggs and get your reading from there. :) Make it about 101.5-102..not over 102. Dont fret over it being EXACT. Temps will go up and down depending on your room...
