    Worming...how long to recover fully? Possible bacterial infection?

    I recently wormed my flock of four for capillaria (confirmed with fecal). I did Safeguard liquid, 1 mL/day for 5 days, the last dose was 2 weeks ago. No repeat dose as per advice in these pages cross-referenced with a couple state extension sites. (I have a prior thread from earlier this month...

    Very pale comb, loose stool -- possibilities??

    Hi. I have four 1+ year old hens, and four 3 month olds (they are kept separately and have not intermingled yet). The big girls have a 4x8 coop and 8 x 16 covered, shaded run. They free-range for about an hour a day. One of my older girls, Hazel, has been unwell. I'll give as much info as I can...

    The ever-popular VENTILATION question!

    I have read the detailed Patandchickens post about ventilation, but I want to ask about my coop specifically because I suspect I need more ventilation than I have. This is our first winter with our flock of 6 chickens and I built my coop. I'm in PA outside of Philadelphia -- so, hot, humid...

    Possible coryza?

    Blue cuckoo Marans at 15 weeks - pullet or roo?

    Possible coccidiosis?

    This came out of my 11 week old Brahma today. Consistency of jelly with globules in it, almost like clots. No other bloody poop to be seen, all 7 birds are acting normal. Treat with Corid? Or assume it’s shed intestinal lining?

    Buff Brahma, 11 weeks

    I was going back and forth on Buffy, but she’s got some tail feathers coming in that I *think* look rooster-y? Though they aren’t super pointy? She’s our only buff Brahma so I have nothing to compare her to.

    Brooder size, location question.

    Hey there. I have 3 grown hens and am planning to add four to five chicks to the flock in the next month. We got our girls as pullets so these will be our first chicks. Thoughts about this type of brooder setup? Will 4-5 chicks outgrow this quickly or will it last us until they are ready to join...
