I wanted to get my chickens tested but it was really expensive and theyve all been sneezing, one almost constantly, bubbles in the eye, wheezing, opening her beak to breather, that one was the worst, the others were just sneezing and a little wheezy. They were all culled apart from3 who I only...

She has a gloopy creamy/white coloured discharge now by her bottom its quite thick.. Do you still think it's cocci?

I don't think it is cocci though, it just doesn't feel right. I've had to treat it before and it wasn't like this, before even as a new chicken owner, I was able to spot the signs and treat, this.. is different. If you had only seen the picture of her dried bum feathers, would you have said...

Thank you all so much :) I think you are right, I will cull sometime after this egg laying period. I dont want to I really really dont. I feel guilty, having to kill birds that were a gift, that my uncle hatched out himself from his own birds and raised but I have to do what is nessacary for me...

See, I found the famous poop chart and it still looks to me like it is intestinal shedding. Here is the poop chart so you can check yourself too; http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0

Alright then :) thank you so much! Will this interfear with the medicated feed? Because the 4 other chicks will obviously drink the same water. Chickens, so darn complicated at time.. Lol.

I have baycox 2.5% sol. It says, 1ml to 1L. But doesnt say if I can give it to chicks or not.

Ive some in the cupboard I think. Do you know how much to put in with how much water? I thought they couldnt get it if on medicated feed?

Yeah, I want to make sure its all disinfected properly. Im just worried about the ground mostly and it living there and infecting new birds. Thank you :D

I didnt plan to breed until next year, so, I think I'll wait off on the culling. They arent showing symptoms and Im getting an egg a day from each of them near enough :) Thank you though!

4 week old pekin bantam, just discovered this on her butt 5 mins ago. I washed it and now shes drying off on me in a towel as i type this. Is there something wrong? Or.. is it just, dried chicken poop or something else simple. Im worried about pasty butt. These are my first chicks. I bought 3, 6...

I've posted about this once or twice before and also looking into it a fair amount but I can't seem to get the answers I'm looking for. I was told; Transmission: MG can be spread to offspring through the egg. Most commercial breeding flocks, however, are MG-free. Introduction of infected...

I think she would make pretty babies too, just need the right male for her. I haven't a clue about breeding though and how patterns and colors get passed on and crossed and stuff. Is there a thread on here explaining it all does anyone know? She just seems a bit, rough looking at the moment...

I'm not shre what to do with her now. I was hoping to use her for breeding in the future. Either way she'll make a lovely pet. :)

Thank you :D

I bought her yesterday and I'm just wondering what this pattern is. She is meant to be a pekin of some sort. I couldn't get great picture because she isnt use to be so didn't want to sit still. Is her face meant to so pale?

Yay! ChickenExtreme, you posted on my other thread about the same chicks asking about the colour here; https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/698159/what-colour-are-these-pic-heavy#post_9477302 See how much the wattles have come in? Im so excited hes a boy, do you think it would be a good type...

I wouldn't mind if it is :) I would like to breed next year or so and I only want to breed from the best Pekin Bantams I can find! And this little one with those fluffy feet and markings seems to me like it could be a good one to use :D It's the wattles and comb that suggest its a boy to me...

I realise this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you knew how long it could live on the ground for? I have infected chickens that I refused to cull that I've allowed to free range. But I've bought new chicks and I'm worried about letting them out into my garden and housing them in a new...

I bought 3 new chickens today, around 6-8 weeks I believe. And I'm spending the night at my boyfriends, so they're spending the night in a box. But they've love the egg you recommended. And I've had birds with mycoplasma walking around my garden so I'm scared about putting the chicks down on...
