I know this is an old post, however I was intrigued by the description of your hen's hard mass because you described exactly what I'm seeing on my hen, right down to the eschar just below the vent at the top of the mass. I know that hen is likely gone by now but did her mass ever get smaller? Or...

Some interesting information here. And thank you for all that information David. What now has me concerned is that I live in Canada and when I called the Provincial Government Poultry Vet in the province I live in (on a different matter), she advised me that it's safe to eat the eggs while...

Very good question dawg53. I did a bit more research on Piperazine and how it works, and although they (manufacturer) states that egg withdrawal is not necessary, this website http://parasitipedia.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2524&Itemid=2797 states that "In laying hens...

I know this is an old topic, but I want to deworm my laying hens and purchased DVL Piperazine 53% powder. No warnings on the package, so I went to DVL's website and found their phone number. I called them and they said if there were any warnings (i.e. if the eggs were not safe to eat), they...

Is there anyone out there who can answer my questions?

OMG this must be the summer for one-eyed chickens because just this morning, as I was giving my flock a little treat, Belle, one of the two friendler hens we have was eating her treat out of my hand when I noticed she had one eye closed. It does not look bad, just closed. I watched her for about...

Thank you Flock Mistress. I have 81 mg tablets so will mix one tablet in a quart or half of one in a pint since she can't drink that much water in the next few days. She laid an egg yesterday and is eating/drinking and pooping fine. I pray it's just a sprain and she'll be walking on two feet...

Yesterday, my husband found Daisy, the only tame one in my flock, hobbling on one leg. I know our rooster is picking on her, he chases her around their outside pen until she returns inside so she hangs around inside the coop a lot. We suspect she may have hurt it jumping or she may have slipped...

Sylvestor12, I am so sorry you lost your little red girl! :(

I know this is an older thread but today my husband found Daisy, the only tame one in my flock, hobbling on one leg. I know our rooster is picking on her, he chases her around their outside pen until she returns inside so she hangs around inside the coop a lot. We suspect she may have hurt it...

Can someone tell me what breed they think our rooster is? His name is Henry :) This pic was taken before their outdoor run was finished. We now have netting above to keep out unwanted visitors and they all come inside at night.

Thanks for the welcome and advice. The new hens have been here 4 weeks now and as of yesterday, we're getting 6 eggs a day from 10 "red" laying hens and possibly one coming from our blue cochin, not sure tho. The heat is not an issue here as it's been quite cool yet here in Atlantic Canada...

Hi Everyone, my name is Sue and I live in Atlantic (East Coast) Canada. I am new to the forum and new to chickens. My husband built me a wonderful Chicken "Room" with four individual "roosting/laying" rooms that have doors I can close if I want to. Each room has a waterer and feeder, roosting...
