    Duramycin-10 Help!

    I'm treating all my chickens in the coop with Duramycin-10 because a couple of them have bubbly eyes. So I have questions. #1. How much per gallon? I don't want to over medicate. #2. I've got three chicks in the house, should I go ahead and medicate them? Would it be too powerful for them? I...

    Bubbly, Swollen Eye

    One of our hens, a Rhode Island Red named Scarlett, has gotten a swollen, watery (almost bubbly) eye. The other eye is bubbly as well, but not really swollen. She seemed to be getting along ok today but definitely seemed a bit less active. Tonight, when I went out to check on her, she was on...

    Coccidia or Intestinal Lining?

    I brought 6 chickens home today. Four are very young and two are two-three months old, fully feathered but young. I've got those two in a cage desperate from the young ones and one of them (a golden laced Polish, which I got to show) pooped blood. She and the other hen she's with are also not...

    Chicken Breeders in Indiana?

    I'm a 4-Her looking for some chicks to raise and show at the fair this year. I currently only have 5 chickens and they're older now and aren't really show quality.

    How to Make a Splint?

    One of our Rhode Island Reds, "Miss Cluck", is limping and can't walk well at all. She has lived the last couple of years with almost no toenails (her feet bled and they fell out) but she has always walked just fine. We're not sure what happened to her. However, when I was getting hay for the...

    Chicken Has Swollen Foot and Toenail is Falling Off?

    One of our Rhode Island Reds has swollen feet that are not getting better.... it's getting worse! Her toenail is actually falling off. Have no idea what is causing it or how to fix it. Does anybody know what it is, how to fix it and if it's contagious?

    I want a Black Silkie but it HAS to be a hen and I have to be able to order only a couple of that kind. What hatchery can you suggest? McMurray only has straight run Silkies.

    Bathing Before a Show? HELP!

    I heard a chicken needs a bath at least 3 days before the show to give their feathers time to fluff/plump back up. I gave my show chickens a bath a couple days ago but I didn't have a cage I could put them in to keep them to clean so I just let them free and hoped for the best. They are...

    What to Bring to a Chicken Show?

    I'm going to my first chicken show this weekend and I'm wondering what grooming tools I need to bring for last minute touch-ups. There was something you could put on their combs/wattles to make them look redder but I can't remember what. So what do I need to bring to the show? Thanks!
