Hey guys, I think I’m in trouble here. One of my chickens a respiratory bacterial infection pretty bad, and some of my others seems to be developing it. What’s the best antibiotic that I can buy? I know Corid is for coccidiosis and it’s for cows, but there’s a dosage for chickens that they can...
Does anyone know where I can buy chickens with the chocolate gene? Don’t mind the breed, but they’re super uncommon here in the U.S. and I’d love to have a couple!
Hello All! I have a bantam easter egger that is a year + a few months old. She seems very healthy and isn’t picked on or bullied by anyone else in the flock. However, I notice that every once in a while (which is too common for my liking), she’ll lay a soft shelled or completely shell-less egg...
Hey everyone! When I was younger my mom and I went to a show and bought a pair of bantams. We both forget what the seller told us since it's been a few years, and I am curious to know what kind they are since they've had a few kids since moving into our coop. We started out with oegb's but...
So I’ve heard that Tylan can be bought in powder form and injection form and I need it for my chickens. I can’t find the powder form anywhere without having a prescription, but my local Tractor Supply has the injection form. I just feel really squeamish about injecting something into an animal...
Hi all! I have a hen that has been keeping one of her eyes closed and one of them open. The closed eye feels a little bit puffy and I noticed this issue 2 days ago and I thought that she must have scratched it on something or got pecked. She also just started laying, but I doubt that has...
Hi everyone! One of my easter egger hens, plus a couple of my others, have a weird toe that points upwards or in a weird direction. It’s always the back toe, and never any of the front 3 toes. Here’s some pictures so y’all can see what is going on with her little feet. Thank you all in advance!
Hello everyone! I have 3 Easter Egger roosters for adoption for free. I got them when they were chicks, but sadly they’ve turned aggressive to the other roos in my flock and even towards the hens (I think it’s because there’s not enough hens for each rooster, but the other roosters I have...
Hi everyone! I posted this a few hours ago but haven’t really gotten many answers and I’m getting desperate. I recently just bought 2 lavender cuckoo orpingtons from a show about 2 months ago. Turned out they had coccidiosis, but I brought them to the vet and they were treated with antibiotics...
Hi everyone! I recently just bought 2 lavender cuckoo orpingtons from a show about 2 months ago. Turned out they had coccidiosis, but I brought them to the vet and they were treated with antibiotics. Anyway, the rooster has a healthy appetite and loves grain and corn. The hen, however, does not...
Hi everyone! This is one of my first posts, but here goes. So, I just got 2 youngish Lavender Cuckoo Orpingtons from a show up here in Massachusetts. I think they're both hens, but it's hard to tell. Anyway, I brought them home thinking they were completely healthy, since they were coming...
Hi all! I am currently looking for bantam females of any age, and I'm looking for specific breeds: Orpington, OEGB, and Dutch, and maybe other types that are clean-legged and non-crested. I loooove the color mille fleur, but it has proven difficult to find that color in OEGB's and Dutch, and I...

Hi! I made an account here a while ago, but this is one of my first posts. Well, I've had chickens for a long time, and I've had an infestation (if you will) with scaly leg mites on my ladies (the mites started a couple months ago). I've researched multiple treatments online, and multiple...
