    WORMS? Other Infection? Need advice.

    A little over a month ago I wormed my chickens with Valbazen at 1/2cc per hen, and repeated 10 days later with the same dosage. The reason we wormed was because they had been losing weight, their keel bone is pronounced and one hen had diarrhea and a messy bottom. This hen had dark water...

    Chickens losing weight like crazy! Feather loss, mushy crops at night, diarrhea in some.

    Our chickens are losing weight drastically. They seem to be feeling fine, but breastbone is sticking out and they feel so skinny. I wormed them 10 days ago with Valbazen and am about to start another round of wormer. About a month ago I integrated my younger chicks and went to an all purpose...

    Is Valbazen Goat wormer the same for as Valbazen Chicken Wormer?

    I found Valbazen for goats at a feedstore near us. Is that the same for chickens also? Our chickens have runs (messy bottoms) pale wattles (not pale combs) and I'm thinking its due to the worms. I'm not sure if I want to wait for shipping on a wormer if I can get one local and treat faster...

    Rooster or pullet

    Hi, I have 6 Ameraucana chicks that I am trying to sex. Two of the boys, I knew were roosters at two weeks old. They have bright red combs that are large, and one is already trying to crow now at 5 weeks old. The others are harder for me. I have a feeling they are all roosters, but I am...

    Chickens Still Not Laying...Do they need a light?

    Will my pullets lay eggs without having a light in their house? I bought them in July all ranging from 2 -3 months old that would make them 7-8 months old now. I have 3 Easter Eggers, 2 Wyandottes, 1 buff, and 1 Australorp that could lay any day. Will they lay without a light or do we need one...

    How many feeders per hen?

    I recently bought one size medium rat proof chicken feeder from Al at the Carpenter shop since we have had a rat infestation. My hens are slowly learning, however, the ones that are at the bottom of the pecking order just stand back and watch because there isn't room for them. How many do you...

    Light in the hen house

    So, winter is coming up. I have heard not to provide a heat lamp as the birds will acclimate to the cold weather. However, I also heard that it is good to provide a regular light 12-14 hours per day as the light in the day gets shorter because chickens need a certain amount of sunlight to lay...

    Nite Guard Flashing Red Light

    Has anyone had experience with the Nite Guard Flashing Lite for Raccoon or Opossums? We live within city limits so these are about the only predators that we will get (at least I think). Would you say they work this light would be a good investment against these two predators? We haven't had...

    Pooping in Nest Box

    HI, I stated a bad habit for my girls! My not yet laying pullets were roosting right on the perch to the nest boxes since I didn't know this was a problem until reading more about it, so last week I blocked them off and built two other higher perches for them to roost on. Does anyone know how...

    Keeping Mud down in winter--Woodchips, sand?

    Hi everyone, I've been debating on getting course sand for our run from what I have read through some forums. However, I don't have a trailer yet to buy it. In the meantime, I had woodchips delivered from a tree company for free for our garden. Do you think this would work? It's a mixture of...

    Ameraucana or Easter Eggers and what color?

    Hi, I bought these three Pullets from a lady that said they were Ameraucana but I'm trying to find out if they really are or if they are Easter eggers. Is there a way to tell? And, if they are would the cream one be a Wheaten color? I appreciate all input. I don't really care if they are I...

    2-3 year old hen and egg laying

    We just took in a hen that is around 2-3 years old from a friend that couldn't keep her. Is it normal for them not to lay eggs while adjusting? I think she is a black sexlink. I can post pictures soon. I was reading that a lot of people replace their flock by 1/3 each year, or every other...
