    Vent gleet?

    One of my chickens has what I assume to be vent gleet-a very messy bottom with a white/yellow discharge. I checked all the chickens for signs of mites, don’t see any on them. But I have treated like they have them, cleaned the coop completely, dusted all surface areas with food grade DE, added...

    What kind of comb?

    My chicks are not ready yet to stay outside all the time, they are not fully feathered. We have been making short “field trips” to the coop during nice days. I live in Connecticut and the wether now is cool and rainy most of the time, with cold nights. When they have all their feathers and I...

    Chicks with broken beaks

    I have 4 ISA browns that I got from Tractor Supply. They will be 4 weeks at the end of this week (at least I think so anyways, the store didn’t know their age) About 2 weeks ago, I noticed one had both upper and lower parts of her beak broken off. Then about a week later, another had only the...
