I have a polish hen who I have been trying to get rid of the mites/lice on for MONTHS! With no avail, today I went out to find she has prolapsed her vent. I have brought her home, but she is not able to stay since her infestation is so bad. I have pushed her vent back in about 6 times so far...

I have an 8 week old polish that I think is a roo based off the sad attempt at a crow and the waddle development, but the tail is very small and it was VERY small when we got "him" (about an inch and a bit tall). Anyone have any opinions? If he is really a he, I can't really keep 2 Roos...

I added this one since it shows the color of the feathers better I have a 3 week (will be 4 week old on Monday 3/25) Bantam golden laced cochin. I am wondering if I can tell the sex yet. This bird LOVES to sit on my leg/jump on my arm and we call him/her "team leader" since it is the most...

I have a 1 week old chick that appears to have a sensitivity to the pine bedding I have in my brooder. The bunch of 6 chicks are a little sneezy, but are otherwise acting and eating fine! One Has started a little head flick but is otherwise fine. All I have is pelleted corn cob right now and it...

I got several bantam chicks this past week. There is one, a crele old English, who I cleaned off her bum because there was some poop dribble on it. I noticed however, her vent isn't completely straight. It is slightly to the left. She is able to poop just fine, eat and drink fine and is...

I just got my bantams in today and all made it alive! I do have one who drinks plenty but seems to sleep more than eat. I mean, she does eat a little...but not neatly the quantity as the others. I have save-a-chick in the water now and I am planning on doing a day of ACV tomorrow. I tried...

Has anyone gotten their chicks shipped this week? I'm really worried about mine, and want to hear the outcomes of others. I should be picking mine up tomorrow morning, but there was NO reason I shouldn't have been able to get them today except they sat in Missouri for 13 hours..sorry for my...

Hello all! I have been browsing the site as I am getting chicks again next week. I raised them last year without problems, but this time I'm getting bantams! So, I have been reading about all these remidies for jumpstarting chicks, and forgot to write them all down! I have nutri-drench...

Ok, so I have been trying to figure out a plan for feeding my new chicks. I raised my chickens last year on medicated feed for the first 3 months and then had to switch to flock raiser. They seem to be fine (we lost 1, but we don't know what happened but she was already laying like a champ). So...

I currently have a jap. Bantam at home since my roo was picking on her (he is now gone to a new home). I was told she has raised chicks before and I want to see if I can get her to take the new bantam chicks I have coming at the end of the month. How would be the best way of going about this...

I am considering placing an order (for next year) from Cacle for their sexed bantam pulley special. I have heard they have show quality birds but I'm am wondering if they would be included in the assortment. How have other orders gone from Cackle? I hav a jap. Bantam that I bought at the county...

I am looking to get either or both of these breeds. The only place I can get the polish are from California hatchery and it will cost me over $60 for the whole thing. I am located in Illinois and am prefering chicks. If anyone has any ideas that would be AWESOME! Thanks! Karen
