I have an Australop that disappeared for a couple days. When she came back, she was a mess. Both eyes swollen shut, and side f her face is swollen. She doesn't eat, but will drink if I put water in her beak. She's been on Tylan for 3 days, no change
Can anyone tell me what causes feces to build up on a chicks butt? I've had a couple die, used warm water and mineral oil on my third chick and waiting to see if she makes it. Just looking for info and if there is preventive maintenance for it
I had a staring contest with a rat today and I want carrying my .22. Anyone know of any ways to keeps rats away? The coop is clean, so I think it's after the hatching eggs. Ideas?
My RIR just hatched 8 little cotton balls. Their dad is a jersey giant. I was wondering how long before I should take them from mom? She's pretty ornery. I don't want them living on their own, cause of predators. Looking for advice
Went into coop this morning, found 2 eggs that had soft shells. They were right next to each other as if same hen laid egg. Squishy shells, but not too fragile. Any ideas?
I live in Florida, and recently we have gotten major amounts of rain. Seems like my chickens got a respiratory disease. I normally use Tylan and inject the sick birds, but I have about 80 birds and need something to put in water or food that will get to all the birds. Any info is appreciated
I've recently had 3 birds die on me. Wasn't sure why. But today I saw my other birds fighting over a toad they killed. I just noticed the toads recently coming out of the woodwork. Could they have been poisoned? I'm trying to narrow down what may have happened.
Hi,
My RIR looks bad today. Just noticed her eyes turned from yellow to red. And she doesn't want to move. I live in Florida, so it gets hot. They have water, and plenty of shade. She did have respiratory issues a couple of weeks ago. I separated her. Could she have overheated?

I have a French maran who is about 8 months old. She's very swollen under both eyes. I've used saline solution and Vetrx. Some nasty mucus like goop comes out. I put her on Tylan, but no improvement. Any ideas?
Hi, I'm chuck, from south Florida. I've had chickens before, but I have a new flock and its my first flock in years. I have a leghorn, French Maran, barred rock, and brahma. I'm looking forward to any advice I can get.
