Hi one of my hens has had a limp for about a week. I read today that Homepathic Hypericum seems to work well for some. Can anyone tell me a specific place where I can buy it in Houston? I've seen people in other posts say "health food store." But I need something more specific. I'm not even...
My game hen has been laying eggs for 16 days now. This is her first time EVER laying eggs. The very first day she started laying, she laid TWO eggs in the same day!!!
This morning she laid her tenth egg. So I was wondering, about how many eggs will she lay (in total) before she takes a break...
If anyone has one of these, please let me know!!
I really, REALLY want the MiniAdvance but it's out of my budget.
I'm looking for something that is automatic or at LEAST has a fan (but mostly automatic).
I don't really need a big one as I'm only trying to hatch just a few.
Before anyone...
My hen Tequila laid her first egg two days ago. I was wondering when she will start getting broody. I'm pretty sure she's laying fertile eggs because our rooster's been messing around with her.
I'm not sure of her exact breed but I've posted a picture and some BYC members think she's a Brown...
I would like to buy some chicks that are 4 weeks, preferably 6, and up.
I'm sort of afraid of getting day old chicks because IMO I think they're way too little to be put through the stress of shipping.
That's why I prefer some a bit older, preferably pullets, but if there is a roo in the mix...
Thanks to everybody who helped figure out my roo's breed. It was agreed upon that he was an EE crossed with a Delaware:
Now I would like to see if someone can tell me the breed of my hen. Sorry that I couldn't take a clearer pic. She was moving a lot and my roo was getting in the way (almost...
Which of these would be the best to help treat my 8 week old chicks with?
Tylan, Sulmet, or Gallimycin
I suspect that they have Coryza because they have bubbly eyes, runny noses, occasional sneezing, and irritated, sometimes swollen, eyes. Plus they're a little funky.
And before anyone says...
I was thinking of vaccinating my very small flock of 5 with a Newcastle-Bronchitis vaccine. Unfortunately there aren't any poultry vets around here (that I know of). (I live in Houston so if anybody knows where there IS one please tell me!)
Anyway, the vial comes with 1000 doses!!!
I really...
A few days ago my little chick got sick. He was sneezing and had a stuffed nose. Also, he's breathing very heavily. We separated him from the rest of the chicks of course.
We gave him some VetRx yesterday and now he doesn't really seem congested, but he's breathing very heavily!! He's not...
Yesterday one of my chicks was attacked by a cat at around 9 or 10AM. My dad was able to rescue it.
It had wounds on his head (a small scrape), right hip, and back (I think that's where the cat's tooth actually pierced his skin). We put neosporin on the wounds. We separated him from the other 3...
