They have such bad raps as parents! I've had great mothers....and not so great. Kind of like humans

I have had 2 male guineas for over 2 years. I received 15 guineas and 20 chicks last week. They are in separate brooding boxes. Much to my surprise one of male guineas gets in the brooder and acts as guinea mothers do with their little ones. He has spent longer and longer periods with them...

thanks for the information, Miss Lydia. I gave her 1 cc tylan 50 orally because I am not comfortable with giving her a shot and I saw on site that others have used tylan orally. If you have any thoughts about that, i'd love to hear them. I thought I would give her 1 cc twice daily until...

I have a goose that seems to be suffering from a respiratory issue. I isolated her and went to tractor supply to get tylan 50 and duramycin-10. Can anyone tell me which one I should try and if the tylan 50, what dosage? Also, if advised, how should I use the duramycin-10? thanks in advance

glad they made it through before. i lost track and thought the upload wasn't successful. thanks

Here are my two submissions. Larger files available if needed.

I would just like some feedback from anyone who would like to share their viewpoint about my situation. So my beloved one-of-the-first-I-hatched-her-myself hens has had bumblefoot problems for over a year now. She has been through countless removals of the 'plug', foot soakings, bandages, vet...

thanks. it's really hard to keep food near them because I have goats that cannot stop eating. any suggestions about that?

I have four hens (one is in a brooding box nestled with a guinea hen) that are broody. They do not get off the nests at all. I was wondering if I should take them off so they can eat, drink and defecate? They have been on them for two weeks.

thank you. i'll try the honey today and try to figure out where to put her.

If it is, what do I do?!?

I have a multi level barn. I have two salmon faverolle roosters, one large mixed rooster and two banty roosters. I have 30+ hens. Recently, the two faverolle roosters abandoned all the hens in the lower part of the barn to roost on hay bales in the upper level of the barn. in fact, if they...

I really don't care about her hatching them out. I have PLENTY of chickens. I like her a lot and I was more concerned with her well being. There are no windows to open and I've tried to keep a shade cloth up but it keeps sliding down. It could be 108 degrees in there at noon tomorrow. I was...

I have a speckled sussex that's gone broody for the first time. Unfortunately, she has done it in my greenhouse which is very very hot and we will have record breaking heat this next week. Should I just move her out of there and back to the barn? If so, should I take the nest as well? Thanks...

Thank you. It is really helpful to find others who understand how attached one can be to chickens and who share their experience and knowledge.

She died this morning. I wish I knew what the cause was. There was more pale yellow fluid, no worms, on the floor where she died. All the other chickens appear to be in good health so I think whatever it was, it seems to only have affected her.

Did the warm bath. she drank water while holding and massaging her. I felt inside her vent and there was nothing but a fluid came out that looked like pale yellow paint. Anything else I should know or try?
