    Rooster Sneezing - Need Advice

    Yesterday my Rooster was sneezing. I noticed it while we were all out “free ranging” in the yard in the afternoon. Yesterday’s poop photo attached. He’s a 3 yr old Easter Egger Mix. Always healthy, eating drinking, acting fine. He lives in an open HWC coop with 2-5 yr old hens. We added 12 week...

    Fly Strike - How bad is it?

    My 4.5 YO RIR hen has fly strike. I cleaned her and put vetrycin spray on. She's in a crate in the house until she heals. She has eaten and drank water and electrolytes. She screamed bloody murder when I went to soak her, but I think I got all the maggots out. The red spot is of concern. It...

    Lethargic Hen

    My 3 yr old RIR was laying around the last 2 days. It has been so hot I thought she might be overheated. I don't think she had been eating. She did drink. She is very thin. I give them a frozen tote of ice, fans, they have water and layer feed. Yesterday afternoon I brought her in. She...

    Stray Chicken or Rooster what do I do?

    I found this chicken/rooster in my yard today. He let me get near him ,but not close enough to catch him. Its possible someone dumped him here. How far away from my flock do I quarantine him? How long before letting him get closer? If I cant' get near him how do I inspect/treat for...

    Feeding Hens with different diets

    I'm sure I'm over thinking, but trying to figure this one out. I have a hen with gout, which I understand she will need to eat a lower protein diet the rest of her life. I want her to have a normal chicken life for as long as possible. I want her to be with her flock, which are all still...

    Ankle injury or sprain?

    My almost 3 year old BR had some issues with getting on an off the roost. I think she may have sprained or dislocated her ankle. I've added additional roost steps and dim night light. She had been limping and holding up her foot. Its been 2 weeks. She puts weight on the foot now and seems...

    Impacted crop now sour- crop not clearing

    My Barred rock, almost 3 years old, on the thin side, not as heavy as her sister. Had her head back in her neck for a few days. I realized she had a hard, golf ball sized lump in her neck in the morning. The others are fine. I read the great article on impacted crop vs. sour crop. I treated...

    Blood in Poop?

    I saw this this afternoon, but I'm not sure if it could be coccidiosis? This would be my first encounter with it. Should I treat with CORID or it is something else? Chickens all seem fine. I don't know which one it is from, but I will watch roosting positions tonight. Do I treat the whole...

    Worms?

    Round worms? I have only noticed this today when cleaning the poop board. It was 34 degrees this morning and the worms are not moving. This is the only pile I have seen. Not 100% sure which one it was. I've had cats and dogs with worms and have not seen any signs in the chickens. The girls...

    Dig Fence from TAC?

    Does anyone have any experience with this Dig Fence from Tractor Supply? It seems like it will save us a lot of work if its any good. Expensive, but the time saved would be worth it to us. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/dig-defence-xl-animal-barrier-15-pack-ddxl152415?cm_vc=-10005

    Day Cage - Safe?

    My husband just got this cage from a friend. It may have had turtles in it, but a long time ago. Our coop is not completed yet, and they need more space. I think it will help get the girls out during the day. I am going to wash it and take the old chicken wire off, replace with new. Put...
