Hello, So in MI TSC is Tractor Supply Company that sells chicks every year and I would like to assume they came from a reputable hatchery. I really tried to keep everything isolated which perplexes my as to how my mature flock could have contacted it. Shoes might have been the calibrate...

Hello BYC family, Two and half weeks ago we purchased 6 chicks from our local TSC. 1 died after 3 days. I purchased two more from another store. About 3 days later noticed a sneezing and runny nose. Switched containers because it may have been too small and not sufficient air flow. Raspy...

Super appreciate your advise. You know I don't have a name for this hen...when I applied more antibacterial cream by finger into her vent and more PH surrounding the outside, I didn't feel any obstructions. Keeping in mind I am not sure what I am feeling for. I was very slow and gradual. The hen...

Thank you for assisting me. I have good news. After getting and applying Prepration H to her vent the swelling has resided and her inters are staying inside. She is starting to pass poop, nothing major yet. I will continue to apply the creams both inside and out. I have inserted my finger, but...

She is still drinking but not a lot of movement despite my efforts. She is eating very little. Your material is helpful, but I think its exceeds my experience or capability medically/homeopathically. My take away is keep the area clean, medicated and lubricated. Keep pushing it in. Keep her...

Hello Hello, there has NOT been pecking or direct damage to the area. She has not passed any eggs. Barley pooping but urinating or leaking from vent everyday. Her bedding is wet and needs changing. Can you identify the membrane to be apart of her anatomy? I have tried to remove but that is when...

I am reposting because I never received a response and I am in over my head as what to do. Hello could use some help, I have a 4 year old RIW that has had a drippy bottom for two weeks now. I have washed her and returned her to the pen not actually knowing what it was. As of this week after...

Hello, I have egg laying hens that I could ship to you. I am in Michigan all of my girls are hand friendly.

can anyone tell me if it is safe to try to remove this membrane texture from her exposed insides?

Hello could use some help, I have a 4 year old RIW that has had a leaking bottom for two weeks now. I have washed her and returned her to the pen not actually knowing what it was. As of this week, it has turned into a prolapsed vent in addition to what I was terming as a leaking bottom. I have...

Hello Linda V, I am fighting scaly leg with most of my flock. We switched from dirt run to sand and I think it has impacted the breeding grounds for scaly leg among my girls. Read an older post that I believe you mentioned Nu-stock and an olive oil dip? I am wondering if you have the recipe for...

So the change of the season is upon us and we traditionally clean out the coop and run and dust both with DE, We also lay fresh straw down in the coop and change out the nesting boxes with clean linen. Then we cover the entire run with plastic and set a timer in both for 10 hours of light...

Appreciate the your response. We have decided to contact out local extension and she is being refrigerated until then. Will share once we know more. Ref

Really hoping this is not the case. Everything I read appeared to affect young chicks. She's over a year and we did get her from PP and I opted not to get the MD vac. I have 22 in my flock and currently hatching babies all over the place. She selected the coop where all the mother's start before...

The flock does free range to a degree...but we keep such products locked up or use them at a minimum. We have noticed them eating mulberries and we switched our run to sand. Could either of those be considered poisonous?

Thank you!

Hello fellow BYCM, This morning I noticed one of my year old Rhode Island White Chickens was still hiding in the coop. After closer observtion she appeared to have hurt her leg; though I thought. I brought her into the house. Soaked her in warm water with Epson Salts, cleaned her bottom with...

Doesn’t look like a rooster to me

I am happy to say, that we have identified a name for this little guy as, "curious george". I have been putting neosporn on the affected area. He is eating and drinking well. Brough Mama in to see him each day and sibling so they don't forget him. Hoping to reintroduce him once better. Praying...

We do, but they shouldn't be in our garage...too much activity. Would a rat attack a baby chick with the mother near?
