    Any signs of roos?

    Here are my newest flock additions! They are around 8 weeks old. I’ve been watching for signs of any roos, (all 8 were marked pullets, but one never knows if a boy or two may have snuck into the mix!) but so far I don’t feel like I’m seeing any?! No saddle or hackle feathers that I’m seeing, and...

    Emergency - hen vomiting liquid!

    Posting again about a sick chicken that’s been sick for about a month. Went to the vet, got dewormer and antibiotics. She was on those for 5 days and then she seemed better. Then about 3-4 weeks later her tail was down again, she stopped laying again, and she seemed somewhat “out of it” a lot of...

    Please help!

    I have a hen that I took to the vet about a month ago that we treated for worms. She was on an antibiotic and what I believe is the equivalent to safeguard for 5 days. She seemed great after treatment, so back into the coop she went! Now I’m noticing that she’s starting to act funny again, and...

    Deworming medicine?

    I have a sick girl. I thought it was coccidia, but just got back from the vet, and he is pretty sure it’s a parasite. He gave me panacur and an antibiotic. He said I could bring a fecal sample from a few of my other hens, and they could test if the whole flock needed to be dewormed. So, I’m...

    Swollen toe

    I noticed several days ago that one of my hens had a swollen toe. The nail looked like it was packed with mud, but when I looked a little closer, I realized it was actually her nail that was big and rough and black! I soaked it in warm Epsom salt water, let it air dry, and then wrapped it in...

    How and when should we integrate?

    I got 5 baby pullets at tractor supply 2 weeks ago. They’re currently residing in a bin out on my all-season sun porch, but frankly, they’re really stinking up the place!! I also have 14 hens that are about 23 weeks old, most of which have started laying or are getting close! So, I’m wondering...

    Getting really frustrated!!! :/

    About 21 weeks ago, I purchased 8 straight run bantam silkies from Tractor Supply. Now, I know that when you buy several straight run chicks, you're probably going to end up with SOME roos, but here's what's happened: I lost one chick within the first couple days of purchasing, so, down to 7...

    Thoughts?

    I have this beautiful roo, which I’m not allowed to have in my area, and he’s getting increasingly noisy. Therefore, as much as it pains me, I need to get rid of him. I still don’t know for sure what breed he is, however, which I would like to know for whoever takes him off my hands. I THINK he...

    Lavender Orpington...

    I have this Lavender Orpington, around 7 weeks old, and I’m REALLY hoping there’s still a chance for it to be a pullet!? I really wanted one, but if it’s a roo, I’m going to have to get rid of it!! (Don’t mind the mud on the feathers... so. much. rain. here in Kansas City lately, so the run area...

    New here... and I have a couple questions!

    I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what breeds most of my chickens are, but I have one that’s got me a little stumped. Pretty sure it’s around 7 weeks old. Also, I’m afraid I’ve got a cockerel on my hands, but if anyone has reason to believe otherwise, that would be AMAZING! So, recap: what the...
