    Solo Ameraucana Chick

    So I'm helping a friend out with raising a single chick. She had a broody hen who was not a great mama, killed all but one of her babies, and now that one is with me. She has no other chicks in her barnyard right now, and does not have a brooder, or another broody hen to help her out. So...

    18 mo. old Hen Wheezing & Coughing 3rd Day In

    My BO that we've had for 18 mo. now is wheezing, sneezing and coughing. I treated her with Tylan 200 injection 2 days ago, and this evening gave her the 2nd dose by mouth. (I'm not good with needles, and realized my limitations with this experience). She seemed to be improving a slight bit -...

    Cold, Cocci, or Worms? (Oh My!)

    My 18 mo. old BO is acting strangely. She's congested (no eye or nasal drainage), sounds croupy when she tries to "talk", and is sneezing. After reading multiple posts on multiple diseases/pests, I don't know what to think. I've never "wormed her". We have 3 hens & one rooster, all approx...

    Another Broody-Hen Question...

    My BO has gone broody and has been "setting" for 3 days now. The problem is, she's setting on imaginary eggs (there is nothing under her at all - no golf balls, nada). We are a closed flock due to respiratory illness, and aren't hatching/raising any chicks. I've been picking her up in the...

    Rooster Too Distracted to Eat

    I have an 11 mo. old Silkie Rooster that seems to be too concerned with the hens to eat. Every time I feed, he makes sure that the hens eat, but I never see him eating more than a bite or two. They have free-range of the back-yard, but as it is winter, there isn't much there (that I can see)...

    7 Mo. Old Hen Stopped Laying

    I have a 7 mo. old Sussex hen who just stopped laying about about two weeks ago. I've been reading other articles/posts on what may effect that - but the weather hasn't been that strange (yes it's fall and getting colder - low is in the 30's) - She's not molting, had access to oyster shell, and...

    Too Much of a Good Thing?

    We have four chickens that are about 15 weeks old. They free-range in our backyard most of the day only going into their pen when it gets really hot - or rainy. Our lawn consists mostly of bermuda grass, dirt and a few weed patches. They have a constant supply of starter/grower available to...

    Can 3 be a flock?

    We currently have four 9 wk. old's in our flock. Two roos (1-Silkie Bantam, 1-Red Cochin Bantam), and two hens (1-Buff Orp. and 1-Sussex). In July our Cochin Bantam will be going to live at a friends house, which will leave us just 3. We had originally asked a friend who raises chickens if...

    Silkie Head/Neck Injury

    Last night our 9 wk old Silkie roo had the lid of our nesting boxes come down on him pinning him with his body outside of the box - his head inside the box - and his neck pinched between the supports. He's breathing, and drinking water, even chirping a bit - but he seems slow in his responses...

    Silkie Roo or Pullet?

    Need some help and advice please! This is our new little silkie "Annabelle" - she/he is 8 weeks old and is constantly fussing with our 8 wk. old cochin bantam, that we know is a roo. Anyone want to weigh in on whether Anna is a she or a he?? At this point, we're just not really sure
