I found worms today where my chickens roost in their droppings so I’ve gone out and got safe guard aquasol for chickens. It says to use 0.05 ml for 4 cups of water and roughly 22 pounds flock weight. I have 11 chickens who are all in close contact with each other but are still split up in their...
Noticed hen passed red dropping and brought her in for epsom salt bath, then she passed this normal looking one. Can anyone tell me if the first is blood or lining :(
Noticed hen had bumblefoot yesterday and I planned on an epson salt bath + to pull it out if necessary this Friday (I work all day and don’t get home till very late Monday thru Friday) today she was sitting on her perch when I came to let them out for some free time and she usually runs out...
Baby pigeon with broken wing and leg made it through the night. It was bleeding so I used flour to get it to stop but now I noticed its leg is stuck to its abdomen. Is it safe to give them a warm bath to clean them off?? I tried getting him to have some smashed egg yolk but he does seem to be in...
Yesterday I found a dead baby bird in my backyard and today I found another in the exact same spot but this one is alive. I didnt see it and accidentally rolled a gate over it. I think I broke its wing and I feel terrible. It didn’t make any noise when I went to move its wing back into place and...
I was gone for a week on vacation and left my dad to watch my chickens, they seemed to be doing fine. Today’s the first day I got to see them and I noticed something around my roosters ears. These two live together and are separated from the other chickens. I don’t know what it is/what could...
So a little while ago I lost one of my hens to waterbelly, she was my first ever chicken :(. I decided I wanted to add a few more hens to the flock because I was down to 2 roosters (father and son duo) and 2 hens now. I was able to get 1 hen and ended up with 4 older chicks that should be girls...
Posting again for opinions. I think the little black one is a boy but I thought for awhile the orange would be a girl until just recently and am having second thoughts… they’re both 42 days old.
I lost a hen for the first time a few weeks ago and was pretty upset about it so I put the last 4 of her eggs into the incubator, two didn’t make it so I was left with two chicks. I thought it would be a little while before I could tell genders but I think this little chick attempted a crow. I’m...
I’ve raised these 3 since they were a few days old, I hatched my hen by myself and was told she would be a silkie and when I adopted the other two a day later the new seller also promised they were silkies but about 9 months in and I’m really curious as to what exactly they are cause I don’t...
Hi, so I have 4 young chicks who’s parents on both sides are pretty mixed with what I think is silkie/golden laced Wyandot among other breeds and now that they’re a bit older my curiosity is eating at me and I was wondering if anyone had any guesses on who might be a girl or boy😄
The first is 38...
So I’m new to raising chickens and have gone through many ups and downs as I took care of my chicks. They’re 22 weeks old now and this morning I found my 2 first eggs. I was shocked at first but I was filled with so much pride with my little Pui Pui. She doesn’t seem too interested in sitting on...
So I was able to hatch a few bantam eggs back in January and now that they’re three and a half months old I’ve heard at least one crowing on a few occasions but I’m not sure which. I think two of them are baby Roos and one is a hen but I was hoping for others opinions before I make any decisions...
