Ok So about 2 weeks ago my rooster came down with bubbly eyes and this cough noise. We treated him with 0.5cc's of Tylan 50, orally for 3 days. He seemed a lot better, the bubbly eyes were gone and he wasn't making the cough noise. Well Sunday he started right back up. Exact same symptoms. So we...

Yes we are allowed to have roosters where we live. I need to get building a new home for the silkies now! They are in with my other chickens which includes a rooster. No, no one is crowing yet, that was what was making me question if he was in fact a rooster. But no eggs yet either.

5 months on the 19th. I am also thinking rooster. This picture is about a month old. The comb hasn't gotten any bigger or changed in color since then. I hate to hear rooster! We have another silkie that looks almost exactly like this one, except the comb is smaller and more square. These were...

We can't figure out if little dot is a hen or a rooster? The one on the left.

Thank you very much!!

Which Sevin dust? I want to make sure to be using the correct one! I just picked up some Ytex garden and poultry dust this afternoon. Will that also be ok to use? Or is the Sevin better? I have never heard of spinosad, but I like the idea of being able to spray the coop. So I will look into that...

I see two different kinds on them. Both are small. One is black and the other is a pale yellow color. I'm thinking both lice and mites? As far as behavioral changes. Only 2 have changed. The one that died tonight, and another hen. She seems more needy if that makes any sense. She seems a bit...

So I'm now really worried! We had a silkie die about 2 months ago. She was a lot smaller than the rest, was eating and drinking but just up and died one day. Now tonight with the loss of my other girl. (she was making an almost hacking noise, couldn't stand) I am totally freaking out. I am Very...

Thank you. We are sure going to miss her!

She's gone now. I went in there to feed her again, and saw she was hardly breathing. So I held her while she went.

Yeah I never heard that about the yougert either. Mine personally do not like it though. She was in her bowl but we saw she just couldn't crunch the food. Nothing was going down. Then she collapsed.

Also, about how often should I feed her?

Oh I did not know that about the DE! We are new to using it. I picked up today some Ytex garden and poultry dust. Will that kill the bugs? Every Friday we do clean out coop. We live in SC so it's so hot the coop will stink and I wouldn't live in it so I do not expect my girls to! She seems to...

Thank you both. I have given her some scrambled eggs (she loved). How do you go about hand feeding her?? We have been making sure to give her extra free range time during the day. I treated every chicken with the mana pro, and have run out. None of our stores in this area carry any. But I have...

I've looked and looked. There are so many chicken diseases, I can't figure out what's wrong or what to use to treat her. So here is what is going on. I have a chicken that has a terrible crooked beak. She does seem to be eating and drinking. It takes her a bit longer than the rest but she is...

Thank you very much for your help! I will see if I can find some! : )

Yeah that document didn't help me at all. And I do Not apreshate the comment "especially if you are getting your chickens from your uncle."

Hello, I recently got 3 more chickens. They were doing fine, enjoying their new coop, all to them selves. There is one the smallest, that I have been holding every day. Today when I went to get her I noticed she had a runny nose. The more I watched her, I noticed she was having a little bit of a...

Glad I'm not the only one! Good luck to you as well! These are my first chicks, then I have 7 others that are a few months old. But I just got them over the weekend! Lots of research ahead of me!

I will have to do some research on them! Thanks guys! I'm still trying to figure out what my other girls are! Grey is about all I know. A lot to learn as a new chicken mommy!
