    Stubborn respiratory issues in the brooder.

    Thank you so much for the reply! They’re not completely fine yet but the coccidiosis medicine is the first thing that has helped so far and shown some more effects now. I’ll definitely try your tea recipe next and while it possibly won’t cure them either it seems good for them and the immune...

    Stubborn respiratory issues in the brooder.

    My hen Minnie didn’t want to take care of her chicks anymore so I brought them inside completely unknowingly they had respiratory issues. Had them in there just for a day before taking them to stay outside but it’s past a month (probably almost 2) later and I’m still completely unable to get it...

    Ending chicken Racism?? Coparenting broody hen troubles.

    Thank you very much for the help! I thought separation would probably the best solution here but the fact that they’re getting along so well and raising all the others chicks together with no issues made me a bit uncertain wether that’s what I should do and for the for first 2 years or Sparkle’s...

    Ending chicken Racism?? Coparenting broody hen troubles.

    I have 2 bantam hens named Glitter (splash) and Sparkle (blue). They’ve been brooding for weeks now and nothing has hatched so when a few hatched in the incubator I tried sneaking 3 underneath the two hens but did an awful job and they saw them. Glitter did not care and happily accepted the 2...

    Can I feed any of this to my chickens? Hunnigreen sorghum, soybean seeds and oat groats.

    I’m a bit dumb with plants so I didn’t realize soybean seeds (these ones are meant for planting) and just soybeans are the same until earlier today when I showed them to my mom but I did mention when posting this thread that I do know that soybeans need to be cooked or roasted before being fed...

    Can I feed any of this to my chickens? Hunnigreen sorghum, soybean seeds and oat groats.

    The blue looking grain is the sorghum seeds. I think it’s a coating as well and will see if it washes off (won’t give it to them either way) because I doubt such a colour would be natural but I’ve also never seen or heard of these seeds before and couldn’t find much information on them so I have...

    Can I feed any of this to my chickens? Hunnigreen sorghum, soybean seeds and oat groats.

    As mentioned in the title i have Hunnigreen sorghum, soybean seeds and oat groats that someone gave me 5 bags of today and I’m just looking to find out if I can feed this to my chickens since the information I found on it online isn’t the best or clearest on wether I can or not. If they need to...

    Large neck wound

    It’s no longer bright red and pretty decently covered by the feathers that are left, the wound sprays both have dyes in them as well that help prevent pecking but I’ll be keeping a close eye on them anyway tomorrow and see how it goes. It was certainly the 2 dogs my mom adopted. I’ve been...

    Large neck wound

    Did just that this morning. I was away all day so my mom was keeping an eye on her and said she didn’t eat or drink much but except for the wound on her she looks perfectly fine. I prepared a comfy box for her but she seems to have preferred sitting in front of the brooder and when I got home...

    Large neck wound

    Found her a bit before sunset and it’s currently nighttime so she hasn’t received anything to eat or drink yet but will first thing tomorrow morning, she’s acting quite well considering what she’s been through, moving around just fine and even perched on my leg for a while. We’ve decided to wait...

    Large neck wound

    I have the following 2 products I could apply but I’ve never used the first one because of all the warnings on it which concern me a bit though I’ve had some people recommend it before for various purposes and the second one has only been used on a rooster’s comb after fighting before which did...

    Large neck wound

    My Easter egger got attacked by 2 dogs and there’s a huge chunk of skin missing from her neck, I’ve never had to deal with wounds before and it being in the neck is so much worse. Below are some photos of how it looks. I probably need to clean it but there’s like a gap in the neck (circled in...

    Wobbly hen who’s not looking well.

    I have some grower and layer pellets I can give her, I just did the liver and egg for now because of all the nutritional contents in it. I never really saw any on her, just a few white things between the feathers near her face that could also have just been that keratin coating around new...

    Wobbly hen who’s not looking well.

    I just went to check up on her and give the supplements and she has only worsened. She can barely stand up now and is laying slightly on her side and won’t open her one eye. It’s starting to look a lot like Mareks now the way she is laying now but I already contacted the breeder and he says she...

    Wobbly hen who’s not looking well.

    I got hold of the vitamins yesterday and gave her a vitamin E capsule, before that I was feeding her exclusively cooked liver and egg with a bit of avo (I know it might not be the best thing for chickens but it’s the best source of vitamin E I had available) and I’m thinking about continuing...

    Wobbly hen who’s not looking well.

    I am unsure about what the drops contain since I can not find the label right now but it says it treats mites, lice, fleas and all internal roundworms if that helps and the dosage is 1 drop/0.5ml of it per 500g of weight which seems like it could be some ivermectin based product. For the...

    Wobbly hen who’s not looking well.

    yesterday I noticed my hen not being able balance or walk properly. I checked for bumble foot and scaly leg mites first but saw nothing, then I checked the feathers around the face and vent and didn’t notice any bugs but there was something that might’ve looked like eggs so I gave her some drops...

    Creating isabella Orpingtons

    I have returned with more questions since I have been thinking about this project a lot lately and want to make sure some of my understanding of these concepts are correct. Some of this is based off of what I’ve noticed about isabella Brahmas and my not so clear and thorough understanding of...

    Will breeding Orpingtons and Pekins in the same space work?

    Yes they are so I’m not worried about the bantam rooster fertilizing the orpingtons’ eggs since they’re way too big for him but my rooster weighs over 4kg and could harm my pekins if he tries to mate with them which is my main concern. In my very mixed flock I currently have 1 mature rooster who...
