    wormer for 9 chickens

    I have 9 chickens and am wondering if there is a liquid wormer that I can just put down there throat instead of in the water. Most of the ones I have looked at mix in a gallon of water. That's fine but if I give them fresh water every day the medication will be wasted because they don't drink...

    hens back

    One of my hens has a very sore looking back. The feathers are gone, you can see her skin and it is really red. I assume it's from the rooster getting on her so much. Is there anything you can recommend to put on it? It looks really sore..Thanks

    17 week old chickens

    My 17 week old chickens keep sneaking some of my older chickens layer feed. I don't know how much they have eaten but I have caught them several times. They free range all day with the older birds so I don't think they are getting a lot of their food. They have not started to lay yet and I...

    What happened to the shell

    My hen hatched 5 babies last week while we were on vacation. My sister was house sitting so she took care of making sure things were as they should be. One thing she noticed was after the babies were born there was not a shell to be found. I can't imagine what happened to them. Any ideas...

    My rooster from time to time likes to attack my lower leg and boots. He is a good rooster for the hens, very protective and I am wondering if that's the reason he is acting like this. Today it is very wet out. It has been raining all day so when the rain let up I let them out to free range...
