    Liver disease?

    Our approx 1.5-2yr old hen has been hiding in the nesting corner of the coop for about a week now. She sleeps there, lays there, spends the day there. We rarely see her out and she used to sleep on-top of the coop roof until this started. She's always been very vocal and bossy. I've checked her...

    Still having green poops...

    Hello, I posted a week ago about my 2 yr old EE having green watery stools. We tested for parasites and decided to deworm her and 3 other ladies as we thought we saw tapeworm ova on a fecal float. So she came inside and her bum has cleaned up and is now fluffy when I check her. So far we have...

    Clostridium?!

    I've had my 1.5 yr old EE in the house for 3 days. She had what we think now was a soft shelled egg bust inside her and was passing an egg white like discharge but also has watery green grainy feces. She's eating, drinking and acting normal. I've added oyster shells to her kennel and vitamin...

    Runny yellow clear discharge from cloaca

    My 1.5yr old EE had runny almost mucoid like discharge all over her back end. I brought her in yesterday, gave her a warm bath to get all the frozen poop/discharge off her and kept her in a kennel until she was dry enough to go back out side. She ate a bowl of oatmeal and chopped up egg readily...

    just how possible is Fowl Flavus this time of year?

    My hubby has been taking care of our 3 Columbian rockx ladies most of the winter. Last night he mentioned they looked like they have flour sprinkled on their combs. We've had a long cold snowy winter, our coop isn't heated but the water bucket was to keep it from freezing. We switched back to...

    Winter Egg Slow Down?

    Seems odd, but ever since the solstice on Sunday our 8M old Columbian RockX hens have not been laying anywhere NEAR as productively as they were previously. We have 3 hens and one nesting box in the coop. They are either loose in the run every day or free ranging in our large yard. Normally we...

    Egg Eating or just "new layer" eggs?

    Good Morning All, My 3 columbian rock hens started laying off and on about 2 weeks ago. We free range them a lot during the day in our fully fenced yard and I have checked all their favourite places to see if they have been laying places besides the coop, but we are only lucky to get 1 egg a...

    Columbian Rock Roo?

    I am pretty darn certain this guy is a roo, but I just want to double check. We got 4 and low and behold one appears to be very Roo like. Also does anyone know if there is anyone in ontario that would be interested in a columbian rock roo? Otherwise its off to the chopping block for him. :(

    Masterfeeds Organic

    Does anyone here use Masterfeeds organic feed? We just got our day old chicks and are feeding MF organics. Its not Medicated and I'm wondering if that is going to be an issue with the possibility of coccidiosis. They are Columbian Rock X's and we only have 4. I really don't want to medicate...
