    How long are chickens contageous after coccidiosis? No one seems to know this answer.

    I'm wanting to know when it's safe to sell my juveniles? We had cocci spread through the chicks from new juveniles I had bought about a month and a half ago. They've all been treated and have fully recovered. I breed and sell chickens, and I'm wondering if it's safe to sell these now? None are...

    My black english orpington chicks look mottled. Is this possible?

    5 of the chicks I hatched from my blue English Orpingtons were black. 3 of them are solid black, 2 of them are black with white flecks all over. It's driving me crazy not being able to figure this out. Is this common? Is mottling like a genetic mutation thing (like frizzles) or is it a...

    Will my newly grown rooster ever settle down and stop being so aggressive??

    I have two cuckoo maran roosters, (thought I had a hen and roo, but nope, both roos). I raised them from chicks, one has just recently started mating the hens and crowing. He is extremely aggressive and dominating. He is the prettiest of the two roosters though. The other rooster hasn't fully...

    Will a full size rooster breed my Mille de fleur d'uccles?

    I have a pair of mille de fleur d'uccles and I'd like to sell hatching eggs/chicks from them when they're old enough (only around 4 months now) My mille hen is so tiny compared to my full size rooster (splash maran) I only have one coop so they are all together. I want to keep my full size...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Soooo, how would one go about attempting to produce a hen that would lay "emu turquoise" colored eggs. I just looked up the emu eggs and they are gorgeous. Can a chicken really lay an egg like that?? I'm sure it would be hard to get one, but I'm willing to try!! I have an olive egger hen and roo...

    Pipping on day 18? I think I've messed things up!!!

    This is my first time ever trying to hatch eggs. I have a foam incubator, I've read "dry incubating" is best so that's what I've done. Today was day 18, I removed the turners, and laid the eggs flat on the incubator. I added water and increased the heat just a little because it was a little...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I have a question about olive eggers. I know you breed a blue egg layer and a dark layer breed. And that the 2nd generation would be the really dark eggs. But what I don't know is, if you have an f2 OE Hen and an F2 OE roo and breed them, will you continue to get olive layers?

    My 2 year old hens aren't laying, I had a light on in the coop through the cold months, could they b

    After reading so much contradicting opinions and facts on wether or not to use a light in the coop, I decided that since my hens had already been completely through the molting process and Since i hated to think of how cold they were, I put a light in the coop and left in on from about December...

    Can I eat the eggs of my chickens with coccidiosis if I don't treat them?

    I never once thought of it as being cruel. If you want the truth of it, I prayed for them and just thought I'd do any home remedy type treatments that I could for them. After I prayed for them they've been fine. You must be one of those types of people that would get all huffy and worked up at...

    Well here's an update, all of my chickens are acting fine. There doesn't appear to be any blood in the poop and even the one who WAS sick is merrily scratching and pecking and taking her afternoon dust baths with the others. They seem perfectly fine now. Eating great and very active Oh and...

    Is there a way to treat coccidiosis naturally?

    I'm not going to treat my chickens with medicines. I wanted to know if there is a way to treat them naturally. I have ACV in their water and have them rice/cayenne/hot sauce for three days. I'm not sure if its coccidiosis or something else. Our local vet doesn't treat chickens. Please let me...
