    Corn Free Layer Feed Options

    Ugh! I've been so stupid. I have finally gotten to the point that my girls get to go out several times a day to roam the yard. One of mine is a pretty severe cross beak so she doesn't really get much with the free ranging, but likes to hang out with the others. I bring her mash out into the...

    Is commercial feed enough on its own?

    I have a crossbeak that has a difficult time with getting the extras that her flock mates get. Free ranging she scratches and carries on, but never actually gets anything. She is top dog so it is an inability and not that they won't let her. If all she ever eats is her half grower/half layer...

    Could this be a skin yeast or fungal infection?

    My poor Zebe has been sick for almost 4 weeks now.  She has been on antibiotics now for the swollen eyes for about 2 weeks (first Oxytetracycline and now Tylan 50).  Now there is some discoloration around the swollen part that makes me think of a yeast infection.  There is a patch between the...

    Roo confirmation before I accidently send a pullet to the farm

    ... and I mean literally a farm with some 70 other free ranging chickens. They are both 14ish wks old and neither are crowing. My EE, I am 99.9% sure My "your guess is as good as mine", I'm 97% sure

    Marek's eye or bicolored?

    Does this roo's eye look like Marek's or could he just be bicolored? He has no other symptoms but I do have one sick with God knows what.

    Duramycin 72-200 injectable dosing question

    I headed to the 2 TSC stores and struck out hunting for Tylan 50 so I picked up the Duramycin, 3cc syringes, and 3/4" 22 gauge needles. My girl is fighting an eye/sinus infection but only weighs in at 1kg. I think I dosed her right at almost .25ml given into her breast muscle. Does this sound...

    Abnormal Poop?

    Barred Rock approximately 16wk pullet weighing in at a little more then 1 kilogram.  She has been treated with Safeguard at .5 mL for 5 days and Corid at the same time.  She has gone completely blind in the last week.  Her eyes were looking normal but closed until yesterday when I noticed they...

    Antibiotics for suddenly blind pullet?

    It has become apparent that the pullet I have been tube feeding since Friday is now completely blind. She has been on Corid since Friday and Safeguard dewormer since Saturday. I think she started going blind Wednesday (she was being beaten to the tossed blueberries), but I'm not really sure. I...

    Does this eye look normal?

    I have a lethargic barred rock who seems to be perking up some after 3 days of tube feeding but she still wants to keep her eyes closed and is not eating or drinking. With a little bit of torture (okay so I pretended to drop her a couple times while she was securely in my hands), she opened her...

    Sleepy Chicken- corid and dewormer at the same time? *poop picture added*

    I've read several of the threads about chickens that are sleepy and most suggest to separate and treat with corid. My sleepy girl was on medicated chick feed until she was 10 weeks old, which is when I got her (she is 15wks now). As far as I know, she's never been dewormed. I don't know if...

    This little lady cracks me up

    This is Zebe (depending on the child saying it, that is pronounced either with a long e, a la zebra, or a short e, a la how I say it). She has all the personality in my small flock. She is shy but curious until you bring out the blueberries. Meal worms take a back seat for the fresh...

    Not red comb wattles- maybe a hen still?

    One of my little ones has been in the hot seat with gender questions for weeks now. Sir Coco had her comb and wattles start to develop by about 7 weeks. A month later and they are definitely larger than her follow flock mates, but they are still very light colored. Would a rooster's comb and...

    3 choices for 2 roosters living conditions (other suggestions welcomed)- wwyd

    Well my 6 hens are looking eerily like 4 girls and 2 boys which means those guys have to head out to the farm. The farm hand has his large breed chickens free range but with mature older Roos, I think I need to pen my two up until they are big enough to have a fighting chance. As there are...

    Looking for EE roo confirmation

    Is there any chance this 10 wk EE is a pullet? I'm thinking no. a week ago

    Hen or roo?

    This mystery is what I think is a production red from TSC. S/he is right about 5 months old. I'm hoping the wattles and combs are just from whatever they crossed her with. Her/his tail feathers are constantly removed by the queen bee of the group. Any guesses?

    Does this mix sound nutritionally okay?

    I have a 12ish wk old pullet that has a scissor beak. Hers is mild compared to some, but I do think it is interfering a little bit with her eating (I just thought she was a pig with her head in the feeder a lot). I've read using a deeper dish and making a mash can help her out. This morning I...

    To trim/file or not to trim... scissor beak

    We've had this lady for a couple of weeks now (she's approximately 12 wks old). She was named Hawkeye because we noticed the hook on her beak when we first got her, but she wasn't crossed at that point. The hook is still growing and now her beak is obviously crossed. Would you attempt to...

    Barred Rock or Cuckoo Maran?

    I was told she was a BR but her legs are definitely not yellow which I guess is a breed standard? Ok, they might look yellow in this picture, but it is the lighting.
