I went back out to let them out in the yard and noticed her limping. She is eating and drinking fine. She “chickened” around the run...

    Sour Crop in a year old hen.....Help please!

    I have a year old Light Brahma, Benedict who seems to be suffering from sour crop from what I have read on here and other articles online. The whole flock was treated for Coccidiosis back in June. She seemed to be feeling better and eating and drinking well for a bit. Then I noticed she started...

    Just a simple question about dosing oral Tylan

    If I give my pullet Tylan orally, exactly HOW do you administer the dose. Obviously adding it to her water would not be effective. I have heard you have to be careful about aspirating chickens because they not have an epiglottis and can easily swallow liquids down the wrong way. And...what...

    6 week old sick chick...

    I have a 6 week old Brahma chick who isn't doing so well tonight. She is considerable smaller than her hatchmates because she had a beak issue.

    5 1/2 week old chicks moving out....

    My little babies are moving outside today! I am a nervous wreck!!! We have made the coop and run as secure as we can but I am terrified we have missed something. These are our first chicks and I am already incredibly attached to them. I don't have a question really, more like a need for...
