    Corid dosage for oral delivery - Lots of poopy butts

    I have a half a dozen hens with poopy butts from diarrhea. They act fine -- none are lethargic -- and they seem to be eating and drinking. I originally had about a dozen (out of 21) with poopy butts, but after two rounds of Valbazen, 5 days of Corid in the waterers, 5 days of vitamins and...

    How Small a Hole Can A Predator Get Through?

    Time and time again, we see posts here from frustrated folks who thought their coop and run was "predator-proof" and now they've lost one or more chickens to a mysterious predator. Oh my! How could they have gotten in...

    Greasy Chickens

    My husband went to help a friend process some of his chickens to reduce his flock size. I don't know what kind of chickens they are, all I can tell you is at least some of the feathers were black (the friend's plucker isn't as efficient as my hands) and they were of various ages.

    ISO for Delawares in Southern Mississippi/Southwestern Alabama

    I live in Jackson County, MS (coastal south-eastern county along AL border) and I want to find a hatchery in southern MS or southwestern AL to pick up about a half dozen Delaware chicks. If I can't find a hatchery within driving distance, would someone want to go in with me on a minimum order...

    Sex Links, Eggs and What Comes After

    I mostly lurk here, reading all the wonderful advice. A conversation with my mother-in-law recently led to a question that I could not find the answer to. She was raving about her sex links, telling me what prolific egg-layers they are. My experience with chickens started some 45 years ago --...

    Hello from the Mississippi Gulf Coast

    My husband and I live in Mississippi along the coast. I always come to BYC when I need chicken information and y'all always have answers for me. I decided tonight to go ahead and create an account and say "Hi!". . . . .so. . . ."Hi!"
