Thanks I will dust her with DE!!! Thanks to all!

Well-She is in a coop with 15 other hens. She is out in the heat, but it really hasn't been that hot here. Mid 70's I don't see any parasites, and as for the poop- I really couldn't tell you. She is with all the other chickens, and so I don't know which is hers. Sorry. I just barely took...

So we noticed this morning that our chicken, whose name is Speedy, is not being speedy at all. She walks in circles, and is always a little off balance. She is a little lathargic, and just not being herself! What is this? HELP!! Thanks!

Hi all! I went to my local IFA store today, and they told me I needed the lower protein feed for the summer, because of the heat. I have been feeding them the higher protein through the winter, and have been getting 6 eggs a day from my 6 chickens!!!!! Will the lower protein cause them to...

OK-Thanks! Also if she had mites or lice- would that cause her it itch and scratch? Could I just cover her in some DE??? Do mites and lice survive in cold weather?? I know that maybe a dumb question- but I am a newbie to this whole chicken thing- and this is kinda scary.

Does wry neck come on suddenly?? I have a chicken that I think has it, but it came on kinda suddenly. I don't know if I am fighting a losing battle or if there is really hope! My poor kids are having a tough time with this one though! If we do get her to recover, will she lay??? She is about 3...

We woke up this morning to one of our 4 month old chicks, laying on the ground. It looks like she has a broken neck? She is still breathing, and can stand up, but her neck flops around. What to do???? Is this a disease, or just simply an accident? Do I need to be concerned for the rest of my...

sandypaws wrote as long as it is not too much How much is too much? Don't we want them to get as much protein as possible?

I am a newbie to the whole chicken thing, and so this maybe a stupid question. I was able to purchase some alfalfa pellets for an EXTREMELY cheap price. I was wondering if I can feed that to my chickens mixed in with the regular laying pellets that I currently feed them? I would like to be...
