    How to administer Tylosin via syringe/dosage info?

    I have a hen I want to give Tylosin to via syringe because she will not drink it if it's in her water. However, I cannot find any dosage info for this. She is about 7 lbs. Can anyone tell me how much to mix and how much to give her?

    Blood on eggs

    My three year old has been regularly laying eggs with some blood on them for about two weeks now. Hoped it was just a fluke but now getting worried. They look like the one in the photo. Is this a cause for concern? She didn't used to have blood on them. What could be causing this?

    Getting chicken poo stains off wood table

    I wasn't sure where to post this but I figured the DIY folks are most likely to have a solid idea. I have chicken poop stains on a wooden table that will not come off. They're the almost crusty looking white-ish/grey stains. I've tried apple cider vinegar, dish soap and some regular household...

    Deslorin implant is no longer available for chickens

    This implant is no longer available for chickens. For those of you who rely on it, do you know any alternatives? My hen had emergency surgery to remove an 6 at six months and then was essentially spayed to prevent laying. At the time, my vet stated how important the implant was. Now what...

    Garden and poultry dust for mites

    About how much of this should I apply to each bird? And do I simply rub it on all over and leave it? Is the head the only area to avoid?

    Fatigue and dark brown diarrhea, head down

    My 3 year old hen IS eating and drinking, but fatigued and mostly has her head down, with dark brown diarrhea. They're not laying yet (winter) so assuming not egg bound. Should I give her Tylosin? Something else? Can the whole flock be treated with Tylosin?

    Upper beak trim?

    One of my hens has a longer than normal beak. She hasn't been free ranging like normal, due to weather conditions, which I'm sure is why it's longer. Should I attempt a trim? Or wait it out and hope she files it down? If I should trim it, what's the best, safest way? I'm seeing some say to...

    Jamun seed for bird flu

    I've been reading local posts about the avian flu being in my area and rumors of jamun seed capsules or tablets being added to chickens water as a potential preventative. I realize this is not proven in any way. However, have any of you heard of this? Trying it? Or know if it could cause any harm?

    Adding one "meat turkey" to Chicken flock

    There's just one. Are there any issues with adding it to the chicken flock? It would be in the same run, same coop, with free ranging when I'm home. Should I be concerned about diseases that may spread to my hens?

    Adding two ducks to a flock of 6 chickens

    I'm thinking of adding two ducks to my flock. They would live in the same coop and spent about half the day free ranging, just as my chickens do. They would also be in a run when not free ranging, with the chickens. While I would have a pool for them OUTSIDE the run, would it be an issue to not...

    Bedding for coop

    I currently use pine shavings but I've read that they cause respiratory issues for chickens. But I'm not sure what else to use? What do you use? I can't use "yard stuff" as I simply don't have it. I e. Dried leaves and such Aspen seems pretty expensive but safe?
