    copper sulfate safe in drinkers?

    My apologies if this isn't the right place to post this question, but one of my chickens has canker and while I'm following through medicating her, I'm also adding acidified copper sulfate to the drinkers for the rest of the flock to help keep things in check (1/4 tsp per gallon). However, I...

    Treatment for chicken with canker??

    I was holding one of my chickens today and I noticed something weird on the side of her mouth, and when I opened her beak (which she made very difficult) i could see it was swollen skin from the inside of her mouth, and there was a yellowish sore on the roof of her mouth. She's still eating...

    Bumblefoot healing timeline?

    Every resource I look up for bumblefoot only talks about post-surgery recovery, and nothing about when the foot hasn't gotten that bad yet. I have a hen who was thankfully very dramatic about her feet and marched unhappily, so when I checked her feet I saw they both had swollen angry red spots...

    Punctured Crop - aftercare

    Hey chicken people, need some advice. One of my hens got caught on some wire that essential skewered her crop. It happened in the evening, so it was super full, and the wound was enough that her food was essentially spilling out. The GOOD NEWS is I was able to take her to my family vet who...

    Lethargic duck, not eating

    My duck is acting very low-energy, she isn't eating any of her regular food, and barely nibbles on her favorite treats. She's standing around with her feathers ruffled and looks just plain sad. She is still drinking plenty of water. One of our ducks died this last weekend, and was displaying...

    Chicken left a weird lump of SOMETHING in the nest

    When I went to collect eggs today, my oldest hen was standing in a nest, and underneath her was this kinda gross lump of something she had just "laid." She hasn't laid any actual eggs in maybe a year, and while she usually seems to be in fine health, recently she's been a bit sluggish, sometimes...

    Is my chicken molting AND laying?

    I am so confused, two of my birds went through molts and didn't lay for at LEAST six weeks, which I considered totally normal and fine. Then, my Easter Egger started a soft molt... but then began laying again after only three weeks. And just recently my Barred Rock started laying after just over...

    I think my baby is sick, please help!

    I have six baby chicks, and they all looked great until today. The youngest one, just about a half hour ago, started peeping really loudly like she was in pain. I took her out immediately and checked her throat - I lost a tiny baby to gapeworm, so I was panicked that might be it, but that didn't...

    How do I make my chickens roost where I want them to?

    Hey all! New here on BYC, though I've lurked for some time, and been a chicken owner & lover for more than a year now. So here's my deal (I'll try not to be too long-winded about it!). Right now we have 4 adult chickens. The first two, when we got them, didn't have a coop right away because it...
