My young hen tilts her head to the right when she's looking around. She also seems dizzy and unstable. No signs of injury, swelling or infection. She eats and drinks fine. Could she possibly be blind in the one eye? I noticed the head tilt a few weeks ago now I noticed the unsuitably. The others...

Yes they were. Everything went well over night! This morning I noticed the one hen picking on the other hens chicks. A couple had moved over to the nicer hen. Before long all 9 were under the nicer hen so I moved the more aggressive hen out. All is well!

I have 2 broody Barred Cochins that share the same box on and off and are very friendly with each other. I just bought 10 mixed chicks and decided to let the girls raise them. I separated the rest of my flock from my two broodies with a screened off area but kept the two Cochins in the same area...

She's still hanging in there but loosing weight and seems her feathers are falling out.

None of the above for symptoms. I stared her and the flock on Duramyacin a few days ago just as a percaustion. I have been feeding her probiotics for a few days and today she had scrambled eggs. I have seperated her from the flock. She's funny since she runs around the house like there is...

Anyone?

I use this 3 watt light in my coop. Low wattage! I hooked it up to a timer with the transformer. http://store.aquascapeinc.com/products/productdetail/part_number=98927/1784.0.1.1.19455.1176.0.0.0

I bought this last year and went to get it ready for this year. I found the very small pin on the inside that holds the small gear was broken. I am in the need for just the front plate if anyone out there has one please PM me.

Thanks all! Great ideas! We are going to build a chicken tractor. For now I have been giving them the pulp from the juice I make everyday. I have been letting them out for an hour befor they hit the hay, so they are getting some outside time. I gave 5 away yesterday :( sad to see them go. Hope...

My neighbor complained that the chickens are tearing up her landscaping so now I need to keep my free range birds cooped up. I'm planning on building a run for them. How long will it take for 13 chickens to kill the grass in an area 10 x 15? Will this confinment affect their egg laying? THey...

Anyone?

He ate the ants yesterday. My husband was spraying insect killer and the turkey was caught eating the dead ants. Today he is lethargic. It's been very hot here so I brought him in and tried to get him to drink some water. What else should I do?

I have 3 10 week old turkeys. One Royal Palm girl, one Grey Slate boy and one Narragansett boy. Today they boys locked beaks. They have been huffing and puffing around each other for a while now and the bounce off each other. This behavior has been going on for several weeks but they always end...

Well she/he is still here so I guess it's staying. I can pet it if it's in the coop with it's back to me but if it see's my hand it will hiss and run away. Oh well maybe it will get used to me. All my flock are very friendly. So I hope it comes around. Are they friendly?

I have 7 chickens and 9 month old ducks. Today when I got home a guinea was hanging out with them. I think she must have came from a mile away. The people down there have a few that wander around their property. She seems healthy, good feathers now signs of illness or injury. She's not tame like...

Thanks all! I will take all this into concideration. The creek does have turtles. The creek is free flowing and is about 15' across. The neighbor way down the way has muscovys and they stay near their home. I see them on the creek allot when we kayak. I will have to provide them stairs so take...

I can vouch that it doen't kill earthworms (nightcrawlers)! They were all over the area where I put it outside the coop area!
