    NC Guilford County Dumped Rooster Needs Home

    A young rooster was dumped in our subdivision in NW Guilford County. He appears to be a barred rock mix and is not socialized to people. He’s certainly not aggressive though. If there are any BYCers in this area interested in a free rooster please message me. Otherwise we’ll continue to try...

    Verify Worm Type

    Just found a small pile of these under the roost. They were not in poop. There were 4, all about 4 inches long. I’m thinking roundworms but they also look like earthworms so want to verify. Thanks.

    Fecal Neg Poop Photo

    I found this this morning and took it to the vet for fecal, then bought Corid. Looks like more than intestinal shedding to me. Fecal was negative. I told them I was looking for cocci or possibly something else. In 4 years of owning chickens I’ve never had coccidiosis, but there’s been a...

    Foot edema from bandage

    10 week old barred rock chick named BB, photos attached. Yesterday afternoon around 4 pm we noticed one of BB’s toes was bleeding. It looked like she had pulled the nail off. I cleaned it with Vetricyn, put Neosporin on a small piece of gauze, and used vet wrap to bandage it. When I opened...

    Suspect Salpingitis

    I have an 11-month old Barred Rock who started separating herself from her other two flock mates today. Laid down in a corner of the run. She got up and ate a little & drank a lot of water, and moved around the run very slowly before returning to the order by herself. Never pooped in the hour...

    3 Hens 4 Eggs

    I have 3 8-month old barred rock pullets: Violet, Emma Jane, and Bertha. They have a 4x4 coop w/ two nest boxes over a 4x8 run and an added 30 sq foot run. I feed Purina Flock Raiser w/oyster shell available always. On days with temps in the mid to low 20s, they get a handful of grubblies or...

    First Egg!

    One of my 3 barred rock hens laid this pretty egg this afternoon! I’m fairly certain it was Bertha as she’s been first in all the milestones. She’s the one in my profile picture. They were all hatched 5/21/2020 and came home on 5/22, and I was wondering if I’d see any eggs before spring...

    Ok for Run Litter?

    I’m going to add onto my run and have noticed a lot of recommendations for wood chips, leaf litter etc. We have several “compost” bins where we put the clippings from crepe myrtles, river birches, weeds, camellias, mowed Bermuda grass & other yard debris. We chop it into 2-4 inch pieces, but...

    Ecoglow with blanket?

    I'm hoping to get my 3 chicks in a couple of days. My brooder is a tote with an Ecoglow at one end, on our screened-in porch (porch is tucked into the house, so 2.5 walls are brick and 1.5 walls are screen). Day temps will be 70/80s and night will be 60s when the chicks arrive. I really like...

    Hello! Well, the copied questions didn’t transfer, so here goes! This Friday (hopefully) I’ll get my first flock. I’m hoping to get 3 Barred Plymouth Rock chicks to raise in my backyard. I never take on a new pet until I’ve researched it to make sure I don’t unintentionally kill it, and BYC...
