I bought some Care Fresh Natural paper bedding that's used in hamster/ferret cages and tried a little in their nest box before putting it all over their floor (they...

    Do they ALL have worms?

    I was talking to my vet the other day about my sick chick and she has chickens and has never wormed them. Do you just assume they DO have them and give them the worm stuff? I have owned dogs for 15 years and have done nothing but holistic stuff for them (no Frontline, no wormers, no commercial...

    What could it be....9 wk old Polish breathing and scratching

    In a nutshell, my 9 wk old GL Polish bird (don't know if it's a roo or a hen yet) started exhibiting some sniffles/sneezing/croupy ratttled breathing 11 days ago after I brought a dirty bird in for a weekend. In a panic after talking with my vet, I put my little flock on Duramycin. (I have 6...

    Chicken Boogers?-crusty nose on 2 new birds

    So yesterday my newest little light brahma had a bright green dried "booger" on her one nose hole. I thought it was a piece of dried broccoli, as they had some in the morning. I picked it off and didn't think much else of it. This morning one of my other brahmas has the same thing. One nostril...

    Eco Smart organic pest control...OK for chickens?

    I normally spray my yard perimeter and house perimeter with a product called Eco Smart that is made only of oils of rosemary, clove, thyme and some citrus oil. It works wonders to keep the scorpions, black widows, stinging centepedes and other creepy crawlers out of my home and it smells...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte pullet or roo???

    Bought these lovelies as chicks back in april. They are about 6 weeks old, give or take. The GLW on the left has a rounder butt, one on the right has obvious longer tail feathers and a face closeup of the face looks to me like a roo. I bought them as female chicks from the local feed store. I'm...

    Brand new chicken momma from N AZ

    I'm so happy to find this forum, I have SO many questions since this is the first time I've raised chickens. My grandmom had a few when we were kids but we weren't too interested in them back then. I have 2 golden Wyandottes, a black Wyandotte and a buff Orpington. I researched for calm breeds...
