I feed her organic peek and feed. I had treated her for worms when I thought the maggots were worms. But not corrid. My other chicken eats the same diet and she is healthy and happy. So not sure what else to do.
Well it did turn out to be maggots. I cleaned her up and powdered her with chicken powder. It worked to kill the maggots. But I am still having trouble with her having poopy but. She keeps having her poop stuck to her freathers. I keep cleaning them, but it just get worse. I do not know what it...
Help, I found my chicken infested at the vent with tons of quick tiny white worms. I had noticed a few weeks back that my chicken had poopy butt. I checked her vent at that time and it looked nice, pink and healthy. Yesterday, I noticed the poopy butt looked a little worse and she seemed...
Hi all,
I have not been here for a long time. Work and life have been keeping me busy. But I do have a question as I am new to hatching. I borrowed an incubator from my local feed store after my lavender Ameracauna rooster was taken by a predator. So I put the Americauna hens eggs in the...
Hi Debs flock,
I have been looking for some BC Marans as well. I would love a pullet or two. I really want to concentrate my flock on breeding some olive eggers. I have 1 Ameracauna hen and a lavender Ameracauna roo, so some BC Marans would be perfect. Just throwing that out there too.
If...
Hi all Happy Monday,
I haven't been on here for awhile and still need to catch up with what has been going on. But, I have a few questions if anyone can help me with I would be very grateful.
1st) I have another sick chicken. She is having trouble walking and cannot stand up. She hangs her...
Whew, finally caught up with all the posts. Congrats on all the new hatches. I am waiting for some eggs to hatch under my broody silkie. I can hardly wait. I have no idea if they are fertile or not, but have my fingers crossed. They should be hatching by Thursday if the are gonna start hatching...
To those in the foothill. Anyone have any blue copper Maran eggs or pullets? Or know anyone that might? I have a broody silkie right now and lost my Maran to a predator. :0(
Thanks in advance.
So I just got home from wrk and went out to check on the Chickens and there was the bob cat, just lying there under my coop. The coop is raised off the ground. I turned the corner and there it was. It did not even move when It saw me and yelled at it. My husband got out the sling shot and shot...
We have a bob cat too. This is the second one. We had the first one trapped and taken off the property, then a few weeks later this one showed up. My hubs and his friends were on the hunt a couple weeks ago and shot at it with a pellet gun and all was quiet for two weeks. Last night it showed up...
Hi Hangtown farms. I am between cool and Coloma, not far from you. :0)
Thanks for the advice. I think I will put broody in her own little spot inside the run, just separate from the other two, safe from predators of course.
Hi everyone,
I am new to chickens and have been following this thread, since I live in the Sierra foothills.
So my question is: do I need to move my broody Silkie if she is sitting on eggs out of the coop? She seems to be just fine in her spot. She is only with the daddy a lavendar ameracauna...
