Hi All,:frow I have a 1 year old EE that is being bullied by the other flock members. Thanks for any help you can offer here. The flock consists of 11 hens, a large coop and run, and no indication of any health problems in the hen which is being picked on. Here's the deal...initially the...

The following photos are of a friend's two five week old Easter Eggers (sold as americaunas of course!). As you can see, one is significantly smaller and underdeveloped (looks to be only maybe 1-2 weeks old). It's activity level is pretty normal, doesn't seem to be ailing, but we noticed today...

Hey all, I have been raising chickens for eggs for a couple of years and have added "hatchery chicks" to my existing flock in the past months...wasn't a lot of fun watching the bullying however they're all good now. Anyways, I have been asked to take on seven 2+ year old hens to my existing...

Hi All, I have been raising hens for eggs for the past couple of years...love it! With my new batch of "girls" this spring I seem to have acquired a little Silver Laced Wyandotte roo-boy! I have an acquaintance who will take him "off my hands" if need be but I was wondering if anyone can give me...

I have two Silver Laced Wyandottes. One however has a different tail and and more pronounced comb. See Pics. What do you think?

My 20 month old hens are all pretty much molting (some harder than others). One of them had a pin feather which had a little blood on it which now has resulted in a worse situation as the the others of course are pecking at the spot. It was moderately bloody today. Should I separate her, salve...

My girls have access to oyster shell and are on layer feed. They are approx. 16 month old and seem healthy. The one that I think is laying these eggs is a RIR. I get one of these anomalies a day generally. The biggest problem as I sort this out is that I now have egg eaters because I believe...

My 7+ Month old ROR has had a persistent (apparent) infection (2+ weeks) of her nictitating membrane I'm pretty sure. Over these two weeks I have tried many different options suggested to me. First I gave oral "Terra Vet-10, flushed the eye with saline solution, put drops of penicillin in it...

I posted a question about my chicken which has a serious eye infection (pus covered eyeball) on the "Chicken Whisperer" radio talk show this morning elicited the advice that I should give a couple of drops of "tylan 50" into the eye socket...BUT...I don't know exactly what this means...I have...

My 7+ month old ROR had a closed eye, no discharge (except a little watery inside) and had runny poop, seemed lethargic. Wasn't eating or drinking. Flushed it out with saline 2x daily and gave penicillin drops (1x/day) and Vertricyn Opthamalic (1x/day). Also gave a dose of Tetra-Vet 10 in food...

We have a very competent contractor friend building our coop...he's never built one before! He thought that a piece of nailed down sheet metal (galvanized) for the coop floor would be great for cleaning and such. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks.
