How do you install the linoleum over the OSB floor of the chicken coop so you don't have water damage if you want to hose it out?
I'm building a hoop house coop using cattle panels so it will be 8 x 12 in size.
1) What type of bird , age and weight.
RIR x Barred Rock x Americauna. Approx 8 weeks old.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
curled toe on one foot, unable to move
3) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
No
4) What happened, if anything that you know of, that...
One of my goslings has ripped the webbing on its foot. Its limping, quite badly so I washed the foot and have it separate. It has food and water - should I use Pen-G around the affected area?
thanks

One of my little banty cochin hens is not looking too perky. I've made sure she has access to clean water and chick starter. She's always been sort of a loner. She's not really active. I've made sure to treat her for mites (Eprinex) - any idea what else I could, or should, do?
thanks...
Yesterday morning I saw one of the white easter egger hens was limping a little, not very noticeable, just a wee hitch in her step.
When we got home last night, she's completely lame and unable to walk.
I checked her entire leg (my knowledge of chicken physiology is rudimentary at best) and...
Diagnosis and treatment?
Henny Penny is sneezing and it smells awful so I think it may be Coryza - how do I treat?
What is the best policy to follow as I have chicks on the ground and currently have eggs due to hatch?
thanks

Poor Henny Penny is not having an easy time of things. She survived the dog attack only to be overbred by enthusiastic rooster.
I got rid of the rooster, but its too late, she has a major infection in her back.
I have Tylan and Pen-G on hand, also have some water soluble Lincomycin.
I'm...
I lost my mottled cochin rooster - I need another boy to keep the 4 girls happy.
Anyone close to Oklahoma or who could send me eggs to hatch?
thanks

Are these Marans? A friend bought eggs at...
I'm wondering if this might be a Faverolle?
I know his head has been plucked! (I just got him, the other same coloured rooster was beating him up horribly). He's a big bird, has leg feathering on just the outside.
He also has horrible dark patches on his comb and wattles, I'm wondering if...

Henny Penny survived the dog attack (she's a 3 year old New Hamp) - so this past weekend I cleaned her up and reintegrated her into the flock. That all went fine. Yesterday I saw that she wasn't looking so perky (I've been keeping a close eye on her) - so I thought maybe I'd brought her back...
HELP!
I have separated two young chickens. The lady I got them from is having no problems with the ones she has, I have 3 other siblings and they are all zipping around just fine.
But these two can't walk. And I can't figure out what I'm looking at. And I'm new to chickens, nothing like a...
