Does anyone know what the dosage is for liquid amoxicillan is? Pretty sure Emily has a sinus infection. She has swelling around her nostrils and is breathing thru her mouth. TIA
So I discovered a huge mite infestation in my chicken coop. My poor girls are covered in mites. I went in the coop just to do some minor poop duty and fluff up the hay in their nesting boxes and I was absolutely covered with mites. I brought a chicken Inside the other dsy (my ten year old)...
So I have some mice in my chicken coop. I have set up some traps so my chickens cant get to them and so far nothing is working! I've tried cheese peanut butter and wet cat food. They will actually leave turds right by the trap. Any ideas ? Never had such picky mice before its driving me nuts. I...
Does anyone know if I can use this on my chickens? It's all natural, I'm cleaning out coop today, disenfecting with Oxine and giving both of my chickens a bath. I suspect fleas and or mites are present. Its Tropiclean for dogs
It has a very small amount of different oils, including clove and...
What happened to the chicken breeds chart that was in alphabetical order? How do look up a certain chicken now, its all jumbled up? I wanted to learn about Cochins.
Well I'm feeling really stupid and quite embarrassed but I accidentally got some liquid vitamins down into Emily's lungs. She is making a gurgling noise now.
I've been giving my dog some liquid medication and I used a different dropper for my chicken and didnt realize how much easier and faster...
So I have 2 new silkies. One for sure is a rooster (Oliver) the other one (Whitney) I'm still thinking there is a possibility it may be a hen, even tho she has some wattles (which aren't all that big when compared to Oliver) and a few streamers. Whitney has also only crowed twice and has...
This is Oliver. I was hoping for an Olivia. So now what I am hoping is his sister I am fearing may also be a rooster. I was pretty sure I heard both of them crowing. But I am holding out an ever fading hope. Is it unusual for siblings to develop at such a different pace? Oliver got much bigger...
Got a couple of silkies from my friend. I think one may be a rooster, the one with the purple tail. She got a lot bigger than her sibling. What do you guys think? Do I need some more pictures? They are 3 mo old. Thank you for your opinion!
So these guys are almost 3 mo old. The one with the purple tail has grown a lot bigger than the other one. Also worried about the wattles on this one. I named it Olivia but worry it may be an Oliver The other one I named Whitney. I suppose that name could go either way. What do you guys think...
My 4 week old silkie chicks are eating small peices of hay. Should I be worried? I have them here in a cage I have built that's filled with pine shavings and hay until they are old enough to go outside. I've raised lots of chickens dont recall them ever eating the bedding material! I'm just...
I'm wondering if a chicken can get depressed if another one is constantly picking on it. I have two EEs. One is a sweetheart one is a total brat. Poor Alexandria always seems down in the dumps. She has her tail pointing down most of the time and doesnt eat much. I've had her to the vet and we...
This is probably a dumb question but I havent been on here for a while. What are the little red numbers in the upper right had corner of the brown tabs at the top of the web page that takes you to all of the different places "Home" and "Forums" and "Articles" (which on mine has a number 34 in...
Last Sunday I lost my beloved Penelope. I let them out before I went to church because I thought it would be nice for them to get some sun and when I came home they were all hiding and I immediately recognized what were Penelopes feathers (brand new ones that she just grew back from her molt)...
So Penelope who is one of my biggest chickens (a turken) has a cracked beak! The very tip of the top part of her beak has a little fork in the end of it, almost looks like a snakes tongue. Anyway today I grabbed her to take a closer look and its cracked right up the middle all the way to where...
So for some reason this year I have black widows up the WAZOO. I dont know if its the drought or if someone is secretly making a horror movie in which I am the unwilling star. I just went outside to tuck in the girls and I killed like seven of them in various places around my yard. I cant even...
So I got my flock over the worst of whatever it was that was ailing them, not sure what it was, some sort of a "cold" or whatever, so now I am going to proceed with worming them. I saw another worm in some poo today it was about a half inch long, super skinny and light brown and really wiggly...
So all of my chickens are on Tylan soluble for the next 3 to 5 days. Today while making my normal poop duty rounds I noticed there was one pile of poo with movement in it. I have 7 chickens, I'm not exactly sure whose poo it was, I have it narrowed down to two chickens. I saw some worms that...
