    Safeguard for Goats for Chickens

    I need to treat my flock for roundworms, and I bought Safeguard for Goats suspension liquid. All I have read is to add it to their water. I don't like this method since I don't know how much each one will drink. Seems haphazard. I am going to weigh each chicken. Is there a dosage amount per...

    Help! Limping Lavender Pullet

    My Latest Crisis! My three month old Lavender Orp pullet "Violet" is limping! I still have her and my Jubilee, Adeline, stay in a large dog crate in our walk-out basement at night. I have to keep my coop sterilized to get rid of my one year old BR's leg mites. (I've never had any health...

    Help Please~ Mystery Sore Area

    HELP PLEASE! When my one year old Barred Rock Hen “Tweedy” was on the perch ready for bed, I looked up and saw this red, sore area. It’s between her legs. We examined her carefully inside the house with a flashlight and saw no signs of mites or lice (although we aren’t experts). We looked under...

    Help! My Jersey just laid something weird!

    My one year old Jersey hen who we adopted a week ago just passed this weird gooey thing! She hasn't laid an egg since we have had her (I realize she had to get settled, and it's very hot outside). This happened around 3:00 pm, Sunday June 24th. If anyone knows anything, please advise! Thank you.

    My perfect flock ruined by Rural King. Need advice for new flock.

    We bought six Rhode Island Red "pullets" at Rural King and ended up with five roosters! It was very disappointing to find out that we had to find homes for 5 of our RIR that we had raised since they were a week old. It was very time-consuming and stressful finding good homes and letting them go...

    Help! Do I have 5 RIR roosters and 1 hen?

    We bought six Rhode Island Red chicks at Rural King at the first of March, so they are around 3 months old. We had an amazing large coop built, have enjoyed them, but we are worrying that we might have at least 2 roosters. Or maybe 5! Please see photos. Effie seems to obviously be a rooster. She...
