Hi guys!
I haven't really been active here but I am at a loss. I have a hen, her name is Beaky she is a black sex link and turns 2 in a few months. Recently, she has been laying soft egg shells so I started her on a week of calcium and vitamin D3, for some reason that didnt stop the problem...
Hi everyone!
So last night my friend called me and said, "I think my chick is dying." I had her facetime me and the chick was very... Lifeless. She wasn't dead yet, but she for sure was dying. I tried to keep optimistic because she was very very devastated. I asked if I could come over to...
Hey guys! Quick question, does anyone know what breed this chick is? My friend got chicks but forgot to look at the breed 🤦♀️ so I am trying to figure it out for her. The options at the TSC are, Bantams, Buff orps, Barred rocks, and Starlight. Thanks!
Hi guys!
Quick question, do I need to give my flock another dose of 10% Goat Fenbendazole? I saw one other article saying after 7-14 days. If I do, do I need to give it to them for 5 days? Or just one? Thanks guys!
Hi guys, my friend got 3 chickens from her friend. First time she is owning chicknes so she has no clue. I think 2 are roos and they are white leghorns. Agree?
Hi guys! I have a chicken named Peaches and she is sick, again...
It started this morning when my mom noticed her standing eyes closed. She brought her inside and told me. I thought she might be exhausted because of the heat because prior to today, it was really, really hot and humid... So we...
Hi guys!!!
I recently just treated my hen, peaches multiple times for egg bound and I dewormed her after finding worms in her poo. Now, she is sick again, 🙄 just what I needed. Im thinking she is heat exhausted because I dont see any signs of being egg bound. Yesterday was super hot and humid...
Hey guys! So a while back I posted a thread about "Extreme heat issues." I got lots of replies from that thread, but I felt like there is something I could do that might change owning chickens, and the worry of their water overheating in the summer. What if there was an easier way to cool down...
Hey guys!
I found worms in my chickens poop so I decided on deworming them for all worms, im doing 0.23 ml per pound. Stupid me only got one bottle, and I ran out. I ordered it off of amazon and the earliest I can get it is monday. At TSC, they have fenbenazole for dogs and horses, is there a...
Hi guys! I feel like summer always brings problems to my flock. Ugh. Anyways, I have a RIR hen 1 year and 3 months old, who seems to have a rash. I notice this when I was going to dunk them in water because of how hot it is here. I have a few pictures of it, but it seems to be by her leg and...
Hey guys, I was looking through the first thread I ever posted which was about my hen Coco who got so sick that she passed away. I wrote that thread in a hurry and it was so sad looking through it because I could just feel the stress I was going through. Later that day, my girl Coco passed away...
Hi guys! I just had a chicken poop with worms my mom described it as "green and goopy..." She says she saw lots of worms in the poop and in a hurry, she covered it up so that her friends couldn't get to it. Any ideas what kind of parasite this might be and how I could treat her? A while back she...
Hey all.
Down here in North Jersy, the temps are getting up to 100 degrees F soon. Im struggling keeping there water cool at 85 degrees. Any tips on how to keep it cool? I put ice and frozen ice bottles in it while keeping it in the shade, but that does not seem to help. On top of that, how do...
Hi guys! I have a buff orpington who is around 2 years old having some problems. The only symptoms that she is having is penguin stance and sometimes she pushes or squeezes, whatever. Things that I have so far tried is epson salt bath, and gave her half a calcium tablet with d3. None of those...
Hi everyone, for almost a year I have had the same hen have bumblefoot. She previously had it on both feet, but thankfully one foot healed after I brought her to the vet. The other foot, got better, but then began getting worse again. I have seriously tried everything under the sun. Epson salt...
Hi everyone! I have a RIR hen that just turned 1. This winter I noticed a weird grey brown thing on her comb. Not sure if this is frost bite or something else. Any suggestions on what this is or what to do? Thanks!!
P.S. It isnt on the other side.
(I had no clue what category to put this under..)
Hi all, i'm thinking about making additions to my flock, the additions being Bantams. I heard a lot of good things about them and came to the conclusion that they probably are the best addition to my flock for the time being, but I have a few...
Hi everyone! I come to post on my friends behalf, she has a hen named Rosie who is an isa brown (100% hen). This hen is a little over a year old and has not started egg laying. Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? A extra late layer? She is a good weight and eats well, not sure...
