Hello I have 4 weeks growers succumbed to the symptoms of MD but they are going for testing soon. They are indoors and my question is will my other indoor pens and outdoor pens all have MD? I have a mix of young birds and adults both in and out
If the MD is confirmed I feel the best...
The other day I noticed in my indoor growers pen that ones leg was slowly twisting around. I thought it was just splayed as the same bird had this problem when a few day old. It is now completely backwards facing, the bird couldn't walk, I culled it. Now I notice white scabs on the other 4s skin...
I have a trio of Jap bantams, they share the same house and run. Both hens are sitting on eggs and a few have hatched under one today. Will the cock or other hen show aggression towards the new chicks? and must I seperate them. The three of them are very tame and handled regularly.
Thanks
I have a young pullet with gapeworm. They have been on flubenvet for 2 days now but she is getting worse and losing weight. Must the powder be mixed with oil or is it ok dry mixed in with the pellets? Is there anything else I can do? Should she pull through after the 7 days?
Thanks

These are some pics on day 22 of my Jap bantam eggs. 3 pipped but sadly only one harched, the rest were all like this. Any ideas why the eggs were like this? All input appreciated
Thanks
Hi
I had 8 Japanese chicks due to hatch Friday. One hatched a day late by itself and 2 hatched 2 days late but I helped them out which I probably shouldnt have. One of the ones I helped has one leg like this
Is there any way I could stretch it out or anything or should I just cull it. He can...
Was taking the roof off the run and I stupidly dropped it and the side of the board fell on the hen and her chicks. Luckily it only hit one and hit the chick on the leg. He can still walk and run but hunches over in the corner
Will he/she be all right? Is there anything I can do?
I have 6 hens in one coop. It's full and it won't take any more. I am adding to the flock and have built a smaller coop.Can a flock roost in different coops or would they act as a new flock??
This is probably the most stupid question ever but.....
there is my small coop to house my banties and the nest box is to the right. Which way should i have the roosts. there is only room for one horizontal roost
thanks
Hello all
I have 6 chickens purely for laying (hybrids) but I have always wanted to breed chickens
I can only get bantams as the family think that a large rooster would be too loud. I have a seperate pen for the breeding pair/trio/quartet???. I would like if the breed was able to pay its way a...
