    Weird barred rock tail

    I picked up these two barred rock pullets a week ago, they are around 16 weeks now, maybe 15 can’t remember. Anyway, the one has a tail that resembles a cochin tail. Both birds are the same size body wise, the one with the “cochin” tail has lighter barring coloring. (Not even sure if I’m...

    worming

    If you treat birds for gapeworm (safeguard), will you see any dead (or live) worms in the stool? And if so, how soon after treatment will you see them? Also, does safeguard kill any other species of worm besides gapeworms?

    Hello. I believe several of my chickens have vent gleet. One of which I have been treating for several months now.

    frontline for leg mites

    I'm going to be honest- I am dreading the thought of doing vasoline every night on my chickens feet to get rid of these leg mites. I have 19 chickens and about half are exhibiting signs of leg mites so I have to treat the whole flock. I have read where people have used regular frontline on the...

    integrating bantam rooster and hens

    I've had a bantam rooster for about a week now in a separate pen and I mixed him in with my flock of girls today for the first time when they were free ranging. Everything was going great, he immediately took over and he was the boss. That is, until he met Bertha. Bertha is HUGE and is my...

    Rooster 15 weeks old

    So my rooster is already starting to show signs of dominance. He hasnt attacked anyone yet but will walk up to you and do his little rooster growl and act like hes going to do his sideways dance.

    Sand vs pine shavings

    Picking pine shavings out of the water 10 times a day is starting to get old. Can i just get some play sand from Lowe's? Its been raining here all week so nothing is dry. I figured it would also service as dust bathing too. Thoughts?
