    Roo issues

    I have 3 roosters who have all gotten along great for a couple of years, until this weekend. My legbar got caught in some netting that fell yesterday and I had to get him out. He wasn’t injured. Today I went out and he was isolated from the others. I fed him some scratch and some hens came...

    Roundworms

    Hi all, Found some roundworms on the poop board today. I have safeguard liquid on hand but am wondering if anyone has the dosage for giving directly to the chicken rather than putting it in the water? In order to put it in the water I have to use a different watering system and don’t have a...

    Did I kill my chick?

    So I had one egg hatch 2 days overdue. I had to help because after 48 hours it was struggling to zip. Chick is out and healthy. I floated tested the other 3. Two floated sideways and one floated straight up and down. The guide I was following said if it floated up and down that it was dead...

    Thermometer calibration issues

    I’m having trouble calibrating the incubator thermometer. Tested a meat thermometer. Boil test 0.4 low, freeze test 0.4 high. So +- .08? Then I get different readings depending on where it is in the incubator, and I can’t get it by the incubator thermometer because it hangs from the middle of...

    Several poopy butts

    I have several chickens with poopy butts and one that is lethargic. I treated them with safeguard a month or two ago after two hens died suddenly and one poop had a ton of worms. I haven’t seen any other worms since, and only that once. Laying is down. Ideas? I don’t want to lose more hens.

    Day 22 first time broody

    I have hen sitting on 6 eggs. She started with 15 but broke a lot of them. It is day 22 and nothing. We have a couple of roosters and she is separated. I haven’t candled recently, and I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for at this point. Should I let her go another day or two? What should...

    Lethargic hen, little food

    I wormed and treated my flock with corid after a couple hen deaths and several poopy butts. One hen has been lethargic since I started treatment. She was pale and had diarrhea. She doesn’t eat or drink much and just stands around. I separated her and gave her electrolytes and vitamins. Her...

    Dying hens, poopy butts

    Hi all, I’ve had two hens die in the past few weeks. Fine one day, gone the next. I also have several with poopy butts. Is this a worm issue? Coccidiosis? How should I treat? Thanks.

    Egg yolk peritonitis

    I have a hen with EYP. She was breathing heavy so I took her to the vet. They drained her and put her on antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. He said she’ll likely go downhill again pretty quickly. She is filling back up but she is happy and actually roosted for the first time in a couple...

    Sulfadimethoxine dosage coccidiosis

    I have been battling coccidiosis that keeps coming back (blood in stool) in one or two (out of 23) birds. Corid helps for a bit then after a couple weeks of no corid the blood comes back. So I got a sulfadimethoxine powder that is 25% medicine. I don’t want to dose them all because they don’t...

    Corid not working

    I’ve been battling coccidiosis for a while now. My chicks got it and had to be treated twice because it came back. Once they seemed ok they were integrated with the rest and they got it. I gave them all 2 tsp of powder in 5 qts for 8 days, changing water daily. Now a week after stopping I’m...

    Pale comb, losing weight

    I have an isa brown who is about 2 years old. Her comb, wattles, and face are pretty pale. She is also very skinny. I noticed her being pale about a week ago. I’ve had her for about 4 months. She started looking kind of ratty a couple of months ago but I never saw evidence of mites. In the...
