Got a 4 week old blue orpington with a protruding vent. Never had vent problems before so I came on here to research. I have put witch hazel on it for four days, and I don't see any change. Now what?
We are on our second generation of Brahmas. Out of all our new chics, we only had one rooster. (miracle) He doesn't crower. (love to hear our roosters crow) My husband and I had a conversation and realized this rooster's father didn't crow very much. Is it the breed? All the roosters we have of...
I have a question. We had three hens go broody. (Our first time)
Our brahma hatched 6 chics. They are 7 weeks old. We put her and the chics in one coop. Our other coop has our hens. We have a coop for just the bantams, and our last coop has our adult guineas and 23 baby keets. We don't have...
He was fine. Came out this morning to find him lethargic, and there is black on his comb. He is laying beside me on the bed right now with his eyes closed. Help! This is my FAVORITE chicken. His name is Plymouth, and he's so sweet.
I never can figure out where to ask certain questions so if this is wrong, I'm sorry.
Wormed my chickens today for the first time. Now I have two chics that are a month old. Do they get wormed too?
And I have eleven guineas that are six weeks old. Do they get wormed?
Thanks for any help.
I "FINALLY" found a vet for the chickens. All God's people said "Amen." She was amazing. She grew up on a farm that raised poultry. She does not vaccinate her own chickens. She said in my area (East Tennessee) there was a little Mareks, but not enough to worry about. She said the main thing here...
Captain still has a lump under his eye/on his beak. He is breathing fine. He is eating and drinking (even though his beak won't close all the way). We started Tylan 50 injections three days ago. Giving him 1/2 cc (he is 6 months old) under the skin. Cleaning his mouth and eye with Rx. No change...
Read the article on here about putting sand in the run of your chicken coop. It was super interesting and we are swayed in that direction now. Would love to hear from people who have tried it. We live in TN, and it gets damp in the mornings. Plus, the chickens have eaten all the grass so they...
This is Captain. I found him like this today. I don't know if he's been stung by a yellow jacket, has a respiratory problem or has a gape worm. Any thoughts? We treated him with Rx for respiratory. (side note: had his sister die Monday. Don't know why but she was panting a lot the day before she...
Have no idea what I'm doing. We got our first chickens (Barred Rock Rooster and New Hamp Hen) about two months ago. We actually thought we had two hens.
At present, we have Plymouth our Barred Rock Rooster, Red our hen, Fiesty which is a cornish game hen, and 5 Golden Laced Wyandottes which...
