Hi everyone, so we are currently awaiting a new chicken coop and have our chickens downstairs in our basement. They are for the most part separated into different brooder situations. (One by herself, two polish’s together, three silkies together and 6 ten week old chicks) then the two who are...
Hi! Months ago I got silkies from a local farm who had and gave my chicks coccidiosis. I currently have a flock outside and my new coop comes next week- my question is regarding integrating them! My chicks were fully treated, the silkies came from a place that didn’t vaccinate or treat chickens...
Hi everyone! I have a question about diatomaceous earth and which one is safe! I have a gigantic tick problem (despite my yard being sprayed x2 (chicken safe spray) and despite my chickens hopefully eating ticks) I am getting desperate because they are literally EVERYWHERE. Google said that...
Hi! I have a barred rock who has been isolated because she was picked in for wry neck- she goes weeks where she won’t lay but she is currently laying. Her wry neck was very bad but she has been seemingly better these past few days and she has laid an egg every day. Yesterday she didn’t but this...

Hi everyone! I have 8 baby chicks all around the same age (3 lavender orps, black austrolorp, 2 polishs, brahma, buff orp) and today when cleaning their bedding I noticed one of the heads of my polishs (who is also my favorite) was red - looked like it had been being pecked- then I watched. Few...
Hi! My chicks just had coccidosis and finished 7 days of treatment (corid) today I know I’m supposed to give them something like poultry cell because they need thiamine again- however I noticed that some of their formed poops has tiny amounts of blood and that there were some looser lighter...
Hi! I had posted a bit ago about my chicks with cocci! They appear to be better - my question is about my outside flock. Am I able to integrate the girls who were sick (11) outside with my flock of five!? I don’t want to subject my original girls to any kind of sickness. What’s best to do to...
Hi! I have a question for literally anyone who will listen and have some advice! I have had ten chicks who have lived together for weeks, no issues at all. Recently I got three silkie hens from a local farm. Since all of the chicks would eventually live with the silkies, we let them
