    Hi all, After my hen was attacked by a dog, my vet gave me an antibiotic paste in a syringe, chloramphenicol, to give over her food. Problem is, she is barely eating. Pecked at the yogurt in a spoon twice, and maybe a couple pecks of her mashed up food. I need to get 2cc's of this stuff to...

    Hi My chicken coop was breeched by a friends dog!!! Found the dog with the Hot Wings in her mouth, forcibly removed Wings from her mouth, and now I don't know what to do. She's limping, a wing is clearly missing feathers, and under the wing as well. I sprayed Blue Kote on the visible...

    my hen is in jail!!!

    Ok, so one of my 4 girls is broody. I have no rooster and don't want her to be sitting on the nest all day. So, I set up my large dog crate (about 5'X4') and put her in there, in the yard, and rigged up a little roof so she won't get rained on. Prior to these drastic measures I spent all last...

    Hello! I have 4 Egyptian Fayoumis hens. They free range in my yard all day. I feed them laying pellets, cracked corn, oyster shells and flax seeds. They also eat alot of grass bugs etc. I was wondering how much you all feed your chickens, per bird per day? Mine seem to forget WHERE their...

They also have an unlimited supply of layer pellets that they really don't eat much of. They are 4 months old and according to my research...
