Tractor supply was out and Southern Sates was closed sunday so I went to whole foods and bought some colloidal silver. I have never experimented with it before but have been shocked by her improvement! Though she is not out of the wood the infection is improving. Before the amputation her skin...

Thank you i didn't realize I could buy penicillin at the farm store! I will get her some first thing in the morning! Any good threads on dosage? I can't seem to find much.

I have a hen that survived an attack that left her with a very broken wing that was barely attached. We amputated the wing but the surrounding area is already infected looking. What can I buy at a pet store for her?

Between the donkey and our dogs, the chickens are pretty safe in the yard. We have field fencing that some birds can squeeze through and others can fly over. We are saving up now to replace it with the small no-climb fence. Are there any parasites that could kill birds that quickly?

The feed is fine. We feed an organic feed thats so exspensive we can only buy a bag or two at a time and with 40 chickens 50lbs goes pretty fast. BUT who knows what they eat while free-roaming. I have seen them eat fresh dog poo. We live on 4+ acres behind a small neighborhood. I can see 4...

I lost one hen Monday and 4 more yesndterday and I have no idea whats going on. Peaches was a 3 year old hen that we loved dearly. We found her monday in her nest box struggling to breathe. Her comb turned purple and she had diarrhea on her bottom. I thought it might be gape worm and gave her...

Heat lamps are normally red and I dont think that will make her lay eggs. Just keep her comfy :)

Depending on where the wounds are I would limit her daylight hours to discourage her from laying eggs.

Should I treat my whole flock with a wormer or do you think it was something she ate?

I'm so sorry for the loss of Martha, Lilly and Leah I also lost my favorite hen and know how hard it is. I will miss my sweet girl but I like to think He has greater plans for Mrs Peach and Martha

Thank you! These pea combs are still just tricky to me!

Just to educate me, what makes you guys sure the splash is a girl? Its so hard for me to tell. It seems like her saddle feathers are a bit long and her comb is pinker than the other.

She was without a doubt the coolest chicken I have ever met!! It really is baffling how quick she went down. She survived 2 raccoon and 1 dog attack so its shocking that anything thing could kill my Chicken Goddess Peach!

Thank you!!

Hi there! I have been so spoiled by my cream legbars that I can't tell the sex of these birds! I have one group of from my mixed flock that are B/B/S Ameraucana and Production Reds that were hatched at the end of June. They are with a group of Cream Legbar boys that are a month younger...

Hello. My dear friend and favorite hen Mrs. Peach passes yesterday. She was my last original bird and I had her for 3 years. Two days ago she was normal, bright and happy. She laid a clean egg, her bottom was fluffy and clean, she had a red plump comb and in contrast to my other birds seemed...

How is he doing now? My beloved rooster seems to have the same issue. I just thought he was starting to molt at first but I have yet to see any actual molting action.

I will be bringing Cream Legbar chicks and hatching eggs. $40 per Pullet,$5 per Cockerel, $75 Trio, $6 per egg

I put my production red hen, Peaches, in with my Cream Legbars. She had been exposed to a production red and blue ameraucana before and I was curious how long it would take for her to start laying eggs fertilized by the Cream Legbar. I put 6 eggs in the incubator and eggs 3,4,and 6 hatched. 3...

They looked like the one egg on the top, just smaller. I don't have any quail egg rails but they do fit in my chicken egg rails now. They obviously don't fill it out but they stay in place with the turner on.
