That's cool! I didn't get them for their laying habits, but I do sell eggs, so that's a bonus. I hope they make it that far in life... They haven't gotten any worse, but for sneezing. I'm not even sure if that's a symptom.

That's hilarious. XD I misread what breed I was buying, so I knew/know nothing about them. They must have pretty small eggs as well, then. They're certainly cute!

I may have to work on my parents before getting them in the house, but that would certainly be my first choice. Thank you for the advice! I really don't want to have a heat lamp in the barn, so I'm wondering if they've be happier a trailer we have, just in case of a fire.

Really? I didn't realize they were quite that small. I thought maybe the possible respiratory disease was stunting them considerably. Thank you for the input!

I have seven chicks, mostly bantams, about four months old, and I believe they have some manner of respiratory disease. I have separated them from the older chickens, but I am worried they aren't going to be warm enough over the winter. I was wondering at what temperature they should get heat...

I've separated them now. After realising they probably had something, I didn't think there was any point separating them because they have been with the rest of the flock for the past three + months. I had read respiratory diseases were highly contagious, so I didn't sooner... Thank you, I...

I'll start by saying I'm not sure I'm posting in the right place... I bought six Black Wyandotte Bantams back in August, and I think they were about 1-2 weeks old when I got them. It is now about 4 months later, and they have hardly grown at all! I estimate they are 4 months old and I'm just...

Thank you for your thoughts. They did say to give it to them regardless of their health, which I was hesitant about but my father supported the idea. The currently sick chicken is showing signs of Gapeworm which the Neo-Chlor was supposed to kill. Its been two days since she came off it and...

Unfortunately the poor fellow passed away this morning. Our flock was on Neo-Chlor which contains neomycin and tetracycline and was recommended to us by a vet who said we should be giving it to them once a year. We used it because we have another sick chicken that we were hoping to get well...

Yesterday night I noticed one of our eight month old Colombian Rocks hadn't seemed to have moved all day, and after checking his crop it was apparent he hadn't eaten. Today he did not want to stand and when I forced him to he had little balance and laid back down. From what I've read online...

Your welcome.

I posted a few weeks ago about a chicken who is lethargic, has trouble breathing and by some cruel twist of fate was born without a tongue. It was suggested that she had Gapeworms so we bought Piperazine 52 to give to her but I can't seem to find any information about it. It sounds like I am...

One of my chickens, named Puffball, is always fluffed up and doesn't like to move. She too is lethargic and she seems to be showing symptoms of Gapeworm, which we are treating her for it now. I would recommend reading about it here to see if she has the other symptoms...

I will. I did start wetting the bread for her; it was too pasty dry. Thanks!

She has not been de-wormed or checked for mites. I had never heard of Gapeworms before but I just looked it up and it describes her symptoms exactly. I will be checking at first light to see if she has them or not, and if I don't see any I'll try to get feces tested anyways. A bittersweet...

I can't stand the thought of putting her down, but I'm not the one standing out there on one leg shivering. She's been eating better as of late, and we've given the flock a heating lamp which she takes advantage of. She's been breathing better too, so hopefully I can get some weight back on...

She has been eating better lately. She's taken a liking to bread which she seems to be able to get down alright, and we're keeping an eye out for a vet but there aren't many around here. We've given them a heating lamp to help with the cold, and I will look in to feeding tubes. Thanks for...

Hello, One of our seven month old Red Sex Links appears to have been born without a tongue and as a result she is malnourished. We didn't realize she had no tongue until October, and everything seemed fine until not long before that. The chicken, named Puffball, is always sleeping somewhere...

We bought a few Ring-Necked Pheasant's this spring and as they grew we noticed that one eye on the male seemed to never grow. The eye is as small as it was as when he was a few weeks old. I don't expect there is anything that can be done about it, so I was wondering if anyone has heard of this...
