    lost 3 hens

    I wondered if worms could kill chickens. I've never wormed but have never seen worms in any poo. They free range 3 days a week, they eat layena layer pellets, plus a little scratch. I make veggie mix with all kinds of stuff, carrots, peas, green beans, corn. I have 28 chickens, including 2 roos...

    lost 3 hens

    I have lost 3 hens in two weeks. They are about 2 yrs old. They start by being lethargic sitting in a corner, act as though they forgot what to do, won't eat or drink. Poo is dark with yellow parts. After a couple of days the toes start to curl they can't stand properly. Within 3 to 4 days they...

    Ladybird is a PR, about 3 yrs old. She is having, pale yellow, slightly foamy poo. She is mostly standing in place, not eating or drinking without being forced. Her crop feels empty, I feel nothing hard like an egg in her abdomen but it feels pretty firm and plump, even bloated toward the...

    Hi folks...I'm only 113 posts behind.... Glad to say that so far for us, the storm has not been too bad. The rain we got over Memorial weekend was much worse. We had days after days where everything was a swamp. Every egg had to be washed because of dirty feet. Everyone stayed up in the...

    Hi folks...it's been awhile since I've been able to be here regularly, but trying to remember who lives in Montgomery Tx. I have an elderly lady friend that lives in Montgomery. I re-homed one of our roos to her and gave her three PR hens to go with him. She has endured terrible tragedy in...

    Yes, I had read about that and so have been afraid to do it. I have one of those pedipaw things which is useless on my big dogs...might just work for a roo. Got to try something before my ladies suffer more damage...thanks for the input.
