Hi!
I purchased a huge bag of chicken feed for my roosters that is formulated for roosters. It is advertised to appear as crumbles but when I opened the bag, all of the feed in there looks so broken down - almost like sand. Are the chickens able to eat this? I can't imagine that they can pick...
Hi! I own two 18 week old pet silkie roosters and I've been thinking about how to transition their feed. I made the mistake of trusting a Petsmart employee who told me to feed them MannaPro's laying feed which has way too much calcium for them, esp since they don't need it because they are...
My chickens just went through one round of roundworm medication a week and a half ago. I've noticed they have consistently been pooping white cloudy poop that outlines their dark poop + they have diarrhea often, but that might be because of the fruits we've been feeding them lately because of...
Found these rectangular brown chunks in my medicated chick starter growth feed from Manna Pro. Not sure if this is part of their feed or from the feces of an animal. It almost looks like a pellet so I'm really unsure. Photos of what I found attached below.

Spotted two adult roundworms in my 12 week old silkie chickens' poop today. I've attached a photo. So far, I purchased Safeguard's multi-species dewormer pellets (ferbenzadole) which is a broad-sprectrum feed medication that deworms many worm species. It ships in around 10 days max- so I am...
Hi! I have two silkie chicks both of which are around 11 weeks old. However, since the beginning they have been fighting with each other here and there. We haven't sexed them yet, but we suspect they are two males. Before they fight, one of them initiates and they both level, crouched with their...
I have two 9 week old silkie chickens and today when I took them out of their coop, I noticed that one of their poop looked orange-red kind of mucus-y and stringy. I attached a photo of what it looks like after I toyed with it a little. I'm worried they might have or worms in their stomach or...
