    hens or roos?

    I know it's pretty early to tell. I hope they are female. The guy I got them from looked at their wings and said they were female, and he also said they were Ameraucana. [/IMG]

    what dose of this medicine?

    I have ivermectin and would like to use it as a wormer for my chickens, and secondary pest control, They are 7 weeks old, I live in a hot humid area, and they free range in the yard. How much do I give them? I was thinking to dip a meal worm in the med and feed it to them. Here is the med I have.

    What age can I give Ivermectin?

    My chicks are almost 7 weeks old, and I suspect one has gape worm. He pants a lot, even at night, and does the yawn/gag gape sometimes. I would like to give ivermectin, but I am not sure at what age and dose it can be safely done. I live in a warm humid climate, and they have full access to...

    boy or girl?

    This chick was hatched in the middle of may, the two others I got at the same time have by far out grown her/him. I guess she/he is just a runt or by some crazyness has bantam blood mixed in. She is not picked on or denied food or bugs, she is actually in charge. It would be easy to just compare...

    The 3 chicks in this pic are the same age, yet their growth is at 3 different stages. The little one is still very small and has a yellow head while her brother is almost fully feathered and her sister is fully feathered. They were hatched around May 12 ish.

    Direct sun problem

    Hello! Here is a photo of my chicken coop. My problem is, it is facing east, and for 2-3 hours in the morning the sun shines directly at it, it's usually between 7-9 am.

    Are these my boy parts?

    I know my lil guy is too young to be sure of his/her sex, but is this comb, and big booty tail signs of being a male? I also thought it could be a male because it has by far outgrown its litter mate, but from doing research he/she seems to be right on track growth wise, and the other little guy...

    Black Dots around eyes

    Can anyone tell me if these black dots around the eye is normal? I noticed them on my baby Rhode island reds. One chick has a lot, the other has only one or 2. I looked really close to see if they were moving, but they don't seem to be critters. The chick is otherwise happy and healthy.
