Hello all, I had a small backyard flock of two laying hens, but one passed away from cancer this past week (I have a lab report from UCONN showing that she did not die from a communicable disease). My Coronation Sussex hen, Violet, is terribly lonely and I think she would benefit from having a...

Neem is strong so you don't need that much. For my dogs I add a dropperfull to their shampoo bottle. It kills fleas too as long as you leave it on for at least 5 minutes.

My new 7week old chick came to us with lice. The photo shows the carnage on the bottom of the bowl she was bathed in. There were plenty more that went down the drain. She'll have another dip next week, and a week after that. I used neem oil (from the health food store), dawn dish soap and warm...

I hope you don't speak to people in the same tone with which you write. It comes across as disrespectful and down right rude. I did mention her breed. Obviously, she's a female because she lays eggs. She usually lays one egg every day, and occasionally she'll miss a day; she laid all winter...

She is a 1.5 year old Barred Rock.

My hen laid a cracked egg just like yours a couple of weeks ago. I'm curious what others have to say about it as my hen now seems egg bound or something.

My 1.5 year old hen wants to lay an egg, but when she tries nothing happens. This has been going on for three days. Two days ago, I bathed her and put a heating pad in a small dog crate for her; I crushed up oyster shell and coated some meal worms in olive oil and oyster, which she ate, and...

Thank you!

I want to ship 2 adult chickens, a barred rock hen and a Black Maran hen, across the U.S. I know about state laws, vet certs, proper shipping containers, etc. My questions are: Is it safe to ship both birds in the same box without a divider? And do I want their container to allow for more...

Thank you all! I just used valbazan on my dogs. I'll try to find it at the feed store.

Thanks! I used a syringe like that with my girls. I dosed them at .8 cc or .8 ml, however you chose to measure. Why is it that horse wormer is the preferred to an actual poultry wormer?

I didn't see Valbazen or Safeguard at my local feed store. I only looked in the poultry section though.

I gave them a wormer because I had heard that it is something that should be done every three months or so. Yesterday is the first time I have done such a thing and my girls are 8 and 4-5 months old. I do not know how much they weigh, but if I'm administering medication this is something I...

ok. I'll experiment

He suggested .8 cc That's what I gave them

I treated two hens today with an equine Ivermectin. The manager at the local feed store suggested it and showed me how to dose the girls properly. When I went outside a little after dark this evening one of my hens was not in the coop in her usual spot. I found her hunkered in the dirt under a...
