Well better news today. She was out with the other girls and was happy to see her meal worms. She still doesn't look a hundred percent, but at least she was moving around and pecking at stuff.
I am going to try to give her a few more drops of olive oil this evening and feel her croup again...
I have a white leghorn hen who is 5 months old. She has been fine up until the day before yesterday. I noticed something that looked like cooked scrambled egg yolk apparently coming out of her butt. I have seen some soft (very soft) shelled eggs in the morning, but since they were young, I...
i have been finding a tan soft shelled egg a couple mornings. just one. this morning in the pen i found this egg and a yolk about six feet away.any ideas? i broke it or should i say pinched it open. no yolk. the tail on this egg was slightly open and egg white oozing out. all my girls are...
I have 6 leghorns, 3 red non-descript TSC pullets and 3 giant jerseys. I found our first egg on 07/07/2013, The second egg a few days later. Found 2 today. I have an outside perch about 6 feet off of the ground. a 6" x 1" x 10' that they love. Over the weekend I found one on the ground...

I am outside of florence. My poor yard is a lake. The rain here has been unreal. My ducks are happy, the chickens are taking to hanging out on the deck as it is the only dry spot in the whole yard, except the hen house.
I would like to thank all of you so much.
About how much longer do you think (if quackers is a drake) will I be able to let him free range with the chickens?
I am going saturday to look at some more ducks for the two that I have. Funny thing about these two pekins, one pretty much is quiet...
I am concerned about my chickens if they are boys and am thinking about getting some sexed ducks for them. I caught one of the ducks putting their head over the back of a chicken the other day. They get along well with the hens and have been raised with them. When I got them I wasn't aware of...
can anyone tell me if these are girls,boys or one of each? there are just 2. they are approximately 14 weeks. i have a lot of talking but no distinct quack.
I used to use it around and on my mini lop rabbits. I really don't feel it will hurt the chickens, given they are out free ranging and who knows what they actually eat when our back is turned. The DE is microscopic ground shells. The sharp sides of the power are reported to pierce the outside...
I use DE (food grade) around my home outside, sprinkle it on the floor of the coop during litter change and have it in the dust bath with couple of shovels of the dirt from the yard/pen. My friend who has a rescue is huge into organic treatments and swears by it for intestinal parasites. Again...
I was actually for the chickens. But we had no where to keep them, no pen, no house. Hubby comes home and says, so what do I do with the chickens? ROFLMAO. Can you say garden tub with heat lamp. I do love watching them. Learning the personality's. Gave me enough time to build (yes, i am...
