    Houston, TX - Selling 9 laying hens

    I am selling off my 9 laying hens since I will not have time to care for them in the coming months. They have a chronic respiratory disease, but do not show any symptoms unless they are under extreme stress (heat, etc.). Some of them are very friendly lap chickens and easy to handle. I would...

    Lethargic Hen, Overdrinking and Weird Smell

    Hello o/ Yesterday morning I noticed one of my Easter Egger hens was walking very slowly and staying away from the flock. I gave her some Nutri-drench which usually helps (I suspected it was due to the heat and she had similar problems last year), but she was doing no better today. This morning...

    Dehydrated hen acting lethargic

    Hello! I went out this evening and noticed one of my hens was behaving very weak and having trouble standing. It's very hot, so I figured she was dehydrated and sprayed her down with water. I just brought her inside and dried her off. I also got her to drink a bit, but what else should I do for...

    Giving chicks a fan?

    Hello! I just got 15 chicks shipped this week and unfortunately lost one to the heat. I started keeping their heat lamp off, even at night, and they're doing much better now. However, today I noticed one panting a lot and I'm not sure how to help them cool down. Currently the heat index is 104...

    Heat lamp in summer?

    Pedialyte dosage for chickens?

    So I just went to check on my chickens and noticed that my barred rock has a very pale comb. I cannot go to the feed store this week and ran out of Sav-A-Chick, but I have some pedialyte on hand and was wondering what the dosage would be for chickens? Thank you.

    Lethargic Chicken - Not eating

    Hello. I have an Easter Egger hen who has been acting like this for the last few days. She is lethargic and walks slowly, and sometimes she'll just stand in place for a while. She's been fluffing up every few minutes too. Her comb isn't particularly pale, and the other hens are all healthy. I...

    Chickens won't lay eggs after moving coop

    Hello. Yesterday we moved our chickens to a new chicken coop, but today I found only one egg in their nesting boxes. Normally I get 5 or more. Have they stopped laying because of the move? I'm worried this might be bad for them. I would appreciate any advice about this.

    Chickens laying small eggs?

    Hello. My chickens are 7 months old now (all hens). They started laying 2 months ago, but their eggs are still rather small. Only my two leghorns have been laying decent eggs. I feed my chickens Layena feed, but my mother is advising me to switch the chickens to chicken scratch for better eggs...
