    Fowl pox and toothpaste?!?

    I think my new chicks have fowl pox! They are separate from my flock but I don’t want them to suffer! I just saw online someone treated this with toothpaste?! Any thoughts??? They used regular Colgate. I of course have crest so I don’t know if there’s a difference! Thanks!

    Help!!!! Chicken keeps laying down!

    I feel like I’ve posted for help a million times since I’ve joined a week ago!!!! One of my hens is laying down. Like a lot. She’s not even a year old. She laid already today. We pick her up and she will walk around and then lay back down! Her comb is nice and bright. She won’t eat any mealworms...

    About 3 week old leghorn sexing

    Leghorns pullet or roo

    I do this every time I get new chicks! Stress for months until I know the sex! I think it’s because my first set of “pullets” I got at rural king were actually 50/50 hens and Roos! Leghorns seem a more tricky to sex by features. Any ideas if these are pullets or Roos?
