    Deworming multi size chickens

    I have so many mixed breeds from Serama to Brahma and every size in-between all in 1 big coop. What can I put in their water to deworm them and how much do I put in it? They all drink from the same source. Fox and raccoon got into my other 2 structures and can't currently separate the chickens...

    Fox attack / Rooster hanging head

    My rooster fought off a fox. No visible injury but he can't lift his head and he's panting. Drooling cause he can't lift to swallow. He's a giant Brahma the size of a turkey I don't know how to help him. He won't lay down so his head is fully stretched hanging to the floor. I'm worried if I...

    Is this White Silkie a Rooster or Hen?

    Okay so these 4 month old silkies are poor quality from tractor supply. I love them to death but this one is a mystery to me. The wattles are longer then the other silkie hens, yet shorter then the other silkie roosters. The hair on the top of its head is slicked back like a rooster would be...

    Swollen Vent but not Egg Bound?

    We have a small bantam hen who's a year old. She used to lay 1 egg every day until she became broody. I let her sit on eggs for 30 days and then had her free roam again. She's been fine for 2 weeks, still not laying eggs but not broody either. This morning I woke up to hear her squaking her head...

    What breed and sex?

    I own a bunch of chickens that free range my yard. I woke up this morning to find a new chicken in my yard with my chickens. I asked my neighbors if they knew who the chicken belonged to and they believe someone dropped it off at my place and left it. I'm not sure the breed or the sex so I was...

    WANTED: Only 2 - 3 silkie bantam hen chicks... what website will ship this few? (Maine)

    I only want 2 silkie hens but willing to buy 3 in hopes it'd keep the chicks more comfortable during shipping. Do you know of any website that will ship 3 baby chicks? So far the ones I've run into don't have any more silkies available for the summer. It'd be even better if I can find a farmer...

    Mystery breed! What breed are these 2... Roosters?! (Pics)

    I bought some eggs on ebay last year from a farmer with a mix of "Bantam / Serama / Silkie / D'uccle / Cochin / Frizzle / Seabright" chickens. Well 2 of the chickens I got from the hatch don't appear to be any of these breeds (I don't think) not to mention... these roosters have no combs or...

    Is raw egg yolk safe for weak baby chick?

    I have a baby serama. She was the only one that hatched out of 9 eggs. She's all alone and I keep her tucked in my shirt against my skin 24/7 to keep her warm with company. When I can't have her on me, my Fiance has her on him. We're doing everything we can for her but she gets weaker each day...

    Is my baby serama a boy or girl?

    The wings look female because it seems like there is both long and short feathers. I don't trust my judgement though because last year I thought there was long and short on the wing... but months later I woke up to the sound of not a hen, but a rooster hahaha.

    The incubator got unplugged for an hour... would that of killed the duck eggs?

    I have 5 duck eggs that have been incubating for 6 days now. I just discovered the incubator got unplugged. The temperature had dropped down to 75 degrees so I'm guessing it's been out for about an hour now. Would this of killed the forming ducks?

    I'm looking for the best thermostat I can get for $20. I've seen some cheap ones but the temperature ranges 9 degrees. I need something good so the incubator wont need much monitoring.

    Is there a way to train chickens to lay on their eggs? Or do they do it to their own content?
