Hey,I'm just telling y'all what he told me and for no other reason. He didn't say that he did it, but he said that it added the good bio's back into their systems. He has a large organically raised flock in Colo.

No, I only used the chick starter for 3 weeks before I pitched a few cut up grapes and a few mealy worms in their brooder. Another week or so I gave them some lettuce. And, that's right none of the feathered critters will eat it. They just scratch it all around. I work for a dermatologist who...

I have adults, teenagers, and chicks who are 7 weeks old. The "teenagers" are just now starting to lay. The chicks are almost fully integrated into the flock and are beginning to free range. We have a small acreage on which they free range most days, all day. My neighbors dogs where chasing them...

Ok, thx! for the info!

Oh, I don't use the scratch as a regular diet. It's only a treat and to help me get them back in the run. I have oyster shell out, too. I am trying another brand this time. Maybe I'll try ff again and I have about fed up all the kitchen scraps that I had saved up and frozen, so I'm sure that...

Ah, that's ok. They don't even like the dry stuff. I asked about the brand several post's back and didn't get a response. They eat it ( I think) or they are just scratching it around the coop. I free range them most days so I know they're getting plenty. They get cracked corn and scratch as well...

I'm not going to make any more for the same reason. I just wasted my feed.

No, it was some gal and she was taking her time, probably for teaching purposes. I just clicked on the first video that was offered. I thinking I put in "Caponizing a rooster" or something like that.

I looked on YouTube and believe it or not, there is a step by step video on how to do it! Actually, there are several!

I'm really not sure what was wrong with Dot but I do know that she was extremely dehydrated. I force fed her Gator Ade and a mixture of GA, Greek yogurt, and some vitamins and few times. I trimmed her bum to get all the dry poo off and felt inside her vent for an egg. I also oiled her waddles...

Actually, I haven't added any more ACV since the beginning batch, just more feed and water. I have been using Agri Products brand of layer pellets. I may need to try a different brand. It's fully fermented with the bubbles and all. Right now it's a bit on the dry side. Moist but not soupy. They...

Dot made a full recovery. I hope your "girl" did, too...

Changing the subject a bit here....My girls ( one of which decided to be a rooster!) don't seem to like the FF very much. This is day6-7 maybe. Nothing but layer feed and ACV and water. Is there anything I need to do different? Also it is supposed to get down to 30 or so degrees ( our Easter...

I'm curious, how is a rooster caponized? ( is that a word?) Does a vet do it? We ended up with a rooster who was supposed to be a pullet. I'm considering taking him back to the seller and trading him for another pullet. He hasn't seemed aggressive to humans yet, though and that's what is...

Lisa, I tried putting it in both and it just got scattered all over the coop. I only keep mine out in the run now. If I know it's getting ready to rain I'll fashion a little "roof" over it so the feed doesn't get soaked. I propped a lid from a Rubbermaid plastic storage container on two concrete...

Thx, Couture Family. Dot seems a little better today. I'm thinking that she was severely dehydrated. The Gator Ade has helped replenish. Her waddles and comb are not as pale and crusty. She went out for a little while this morning but got tired easily. I will give her more tonight. I'm also not...

For me, I have 6 week old chicks but they aren't sick or are any other of the chick's. I did a digital and didn't feel anything. I have been giving her Gator Ade with a dropper and I mixed Greek yogurt with a splash of my liquid vitamin and Gator Ade. She seemed to like both. So we'll see in...

Wish I could help, but this thread is not seeming to have answers. I getting ready to see if mine is still among the living and if she is I'm going to get the crust off, bathe her fanny, and maybe even do a digital check for an impacted egg (s). I'm not as attached to her as the others, but if...

I'd like in on the answers to this one as one of my hens is doing the exact same thing. Her poos even look the same. She's just gotten progressively slower until today, she's just sitting around moping and not eating. I just put FF out today for the flock. None of the others seems to be...
