I have a sick hen, Miss Bitey the Speckled Sussex.
She's gone lame in her right leg, breathing a little labored. She had a huge poop and it had a three inch long roundworm in it.
Any suggestions or recommendations for deworming for my girl?
I want to get some new Brahmas but I'm not sure where to go to find some?
I live in Oregon (Silverton) and I'm not sure if there are places still going on during pandemic time that have bird shows.
I can't seem to get really any straight answers about their HEIGHT and WEIGHT.
I have a female who is only two weeks old and I'd like to know if I can pair her with my Light Brahma Rooster eventually.
Is this normal? He's not that old and he's begun to crow.
He was born April 24th 2020, so 2 months 2 weeks old.

Her vent had actually come OUT with the egg, it was like her exit was way too small or the egg was way too big.
She pushed so hard and caused...
I have 2 quail (don't know the breed)
2 Blue Leghorns
1 Light Brahma
1 Wellsummer
They're a little over two weeks old the lot of em' and they got to follow me around outside. The quail get to be carried as they don't quite follow me.
Everyone had fun. The babies almost got blown over with a...
This is a chick I bought from the feed store. She started out walking and standing just fine. But a couple days ago she had slept with her flock mates on her belly with her legs extended back. She was unable to get up.
