I have a small water container in there. It is 1 liter. So I put a half teaspoon in it.

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Does appear to be thinner then the other two birds. I'm guessing shes about 1 or 2. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Lethargic, sleeping standing up. Tucking head, Closing eyes and...

So I have ended up with a sick hen in a rabbit cage in my basement. So... Let me give you a little history on this hen. I got her nearly two weeks ago. And Truthfully know nothing about her. Not even her age. I know she was in a pin with too many roosters for the amount of hens so she...

Those are great suggestions! I will have to try it out. The CDs didn't detour any birds FYI

Note. No birds have crashed into the CDs.

So I hung CDs. And my husband came home and asked me what the h@// was going on in the backyard in the tree. When I told him I was trying to keep birds out he laughed and said nope. You have to take those down.

So I need to figure out a way to keep the birds out of my coop during the day but allow my chickens access to it. These sparrows are eating me out of house and home. Not to mention they have given by hens lice. (since been treated) but they are gross. And I dont like feeding them. I keep about...

I have two golf balls in the laying box. And he doesn't go up there at all

No more sneezing today and she sounds like she doesn't have a rattily chest. She is plucking her feathers around her croup. Looks like she is just ratty. Eating normally today. No sign of worms in poop.

And I respect that that is how you view them. I don't think mine are machines. Nor do I neglect them in any way. They are on a layers pellet with cracked corn mixed in. With free choice oyster shell. And they also get meal worms. I take very good care of my hens hints why I am a little upset thy...

And they aren't low on calcium. Neither are bound or broody.

Hey I appreciate it. I like my hens. And I do my best to take are of them. More the less I was referring to them as brats as a joke. But I'm sorry if I upset anyone. I'll say this. I was on the phone with my vet this morning and went to two feed stores today trying to find medication for them. I...

Long story short. Here I go... *New chicken owner as of september of last year. *Got three 18mo Golden comets. *May of this year ended up killing on of them due to the fact that she was suuuuper sick and had lost a ton of weight and was not eating or drinking. Also had discharge from her nose...

He has killed two hens. How do I catch him?

So I have two golden comets that have not laid in a month. Neither are submissive or have bright combs. They are not molting. and they are getting fed a high protein pellet with cracked corn mixed. I don't know what their deal is. I have an aracauna hen that is new and she started laying 3 days...

Okay So went out to the coop this morning and one of my hens is very listless. She will peck at the ground for like 30 seconds then stand there and then tuck her head and sleep and she sounds a little nasally. She had an upper respiratory thing about 7 months ago and that cleared up on its own...

One of my three hens has a pasty butt. I decided to clean her up today and I took warm water soaked paper towels with dish soap on them and scrubbed it off and then rinsed with warm water. While I was cleaning her I noticed her vent looks a little red and swollen. And I have noticed that there...

Its blurry. But he almost got him! Stupid Squirrel.

It was so dark. And I cant discharge a firearm where we are at. Or they would all be dead. I assume my dog will eat one up if he catches one. We have a catahoula leopard dog. That's who I was talking to telling him to get them. He is small animal aggressive and I have worked with him extensively...

Okay so we can settle this. It is a squirrel. I caught him doing it. And he actually chewed a hole in the lid. Little jerk.
