Thanks Eggcessive. Where is the best place to buy the vaccine? I googled it and of course several sites came up...just not sure which is best! I've never had to vaccinate anything myself!

this weekend e discovered our hens are suffering from Fowl Pox. So far everyone seems to be doing well (we did have 1 really sick, maybe from a 2ndary infection, but she is doing better now). I've been reading a ton...I know we need to disinfect the coop. I'm seeing recommendations for a...

Thank you Eggcessive. I tried to look inside her mouth but she is feisty and is having none of it. (She was stung by a scorpion a few months back and even in that traumatic state, it was next to impossible to get meds in her!). Any suggestions on how to get a good look inside her beak and...

BantamLover21 -Thank you so much for your quick response. You have confirmed what we've been thinking. As for the Pox, we've had an unusually high mosquito problem in the last month AND we have quite a few pigeons and doves...all of which I think transmit Pox to chickens. Thankful that our...

Thank you for responding...I ended up not taking a picture as her next 4 eggs have been much more "normal". The whites are thicker than store bought eggs, but not as thick as the 1st 2 (almost solid like jelly!). ~feeling much less stressed. :)

We are new to chickens so would love a little help/advice. We were given 2 3 yr old Rhode Island Red hens 2 weeks ago. One is laying, we think the other has "retired" :) The first morning we had them, we received an egg...totally normal looking, tasting, etc. We then had a stretch of 11 days...
