Hello everyone. So we got results from the lab today proving we have a coccidiosis infection in our flock. We are starting Sulfacox, taking 3 days, then 2 days off and 3 days medication. I was wondering which day should I clean and desinfect the coop? When do they stop pooping the pathogens...
We have a suspicion of Salmonella in our flock. I am waiting for the lab results, they told me Salmonella and Campylobacter are suspected, they have to isolate it. I wanted to ask - in case it proves we do have Salmonella in the flock, can it be treated? I read many articles on this topic, and...
I found unusual poop, is it blood? I do not know which chicken's it was, none of them has symptoms. Two had inflammed eye in the past week, were separated. Also, one marans has this unsolid beige poop for the past 1-2 weeks, is it okay? Also no symptoms... Thanks for advice.
I know it is too early but any guesses what the gender of these two silkies is (before my kids get too attached to them)? I think the brown-beige is a vockerel and the grey a pullet. The brown is bigger too. Thank you!

I am new to taking care of chickens so sorry for a probably silly question. We have a flock of marans, araucanas, swedish flower hen, czech golden hen and cream legbar and three silkies. They are still small, but we will keep only hens, 2-3 pieces of each breed. I was wondering if we keep one...
I have read that the color of the marans eggs depends on what you feed them. So what to feed them to enhance the nice deep chocolate color? Thanks for advice :).
Is it possible to find out if there is any pullet among these? I thought the lighter one (first pic) might be, but I am not so sure. Or is it too early? They are 5 weeks old now. Thanks a lot!
Hi, we are all new to chicken farming. We are in the Czech Republic ;). We currently have 35 chickens (Marans white and wheaten, Araucanas, Swedish flower, Cream legbar, Silkies and golden Czech hen). After selecting out the roos, my goal is 8-12 chickens. We want to have fresh own eggs and...
