I have a one year old rooster who was hiding behind my spare coop in late March. When I went to see what was wrong he began scooting backwards and then collapsed. I brought him in overnight worried that he might not make it through the night. He was still alive the next morning. I vaccinated him...

Hatched 7/4/22, very pretty and knows his job. Hens stressed out due to too many roosters.

I am having poor hatch rates with the Little Giant incubator with the digital thermometer and humidity. Can anyone give me advice on using this model for better results? I have staggered hatches with the later ones having problems getting out of their membranes. I always fill the water wells...

I started out with one broody hen who would not give it up. I eventually gave her a couple of eggs to sit on. Several days later another hen decided to be broody as well and took over the nest. The original broody sat in the next nesting box on a ceramic egg so I gave her a couple of her own...

I have an older hen who had a large fluid filled swelling under her vent. I had drained the fluid off thinking it was ascites and the size significantly decreased. I followed up by soaking her in an attempt to clean the area with the intent on applying some poultry aid to help the area heal...

Hi -- I have a 2 year old Australorps who has a swelling under her vent, redness, loss of feathers, and poop stuck. She is having trouble walking and roosting. Eating and drinking and free ranging with flock outside. I am trying to figure out what is causing it and how to treat it. So far I have...

I found my Rhode Island Red with no head in the run portion of a spare coop within my enclosed run. The run has mesh sides and poultry netting secured over the top. The head and pieces of flesh were found in the main part of the little coop. There was a small pool of blood outside of the spare...

This has been a particularly bad year for free ranging. Several months ago my neighbor's dog came into my yard and killed one chicken and seriously wounded another. I had just gotten the wounded hen healed and back with her flock. I have been letting my flock out when I am off work and around...

It's spring and my turkey hen is wedged up in the nesting box. I tried putting her on the roost manually at night, blocking the nesting box with a cardboard box, locking the flock out of the coop during the day, and separating her into a separate area. She injured her nose trying to break out of...

What is the dosage for adult chickens?

I am thinking about getting my girls a man. Does anyone know breeders of midget whites in northeast ohio?

I have a dumb question. I bought three lids for the little giant poultry hanging feeders. When I tried to put them on the screw in the feeder was not long enough to bolt the top to the feeder. Does anyone know how this thing works?

I just wanted to share about this breed. They are so sweet and personable. I bought two in April as 3-week olds and raised them with my chicken flock. All through their development I was not sure of their gender. They both periodically fanned out and made what sounded like pre-gobble sounds...

Hi -- Have a year old hen with what looks like bumblefoot. I first noticed her right foot being swollen. She has been walking fine and going about her activities. I soaked in Epsom Salts and sprayed with Vetracyn. I then saw a couple of U tube videos where people were plucking out the core and...

Just got a group of leghorns from the local hatchery. They are still separated from big flock. I noticed one making a noise like a hiccup. I finally caught her and got a listen. She was making a gurgling noise in her throat. The eyes are clear and there is no discharge from the nose. She is...

My cousin hatched some eggs and unfortunately only got one hen. She is not the bleeding heart that I am so I have offered to try to place them for her before she cooks them. They are 3 months old, have been handled extensively by her 8 year old daughter, and are very sweet and cuddly. They are...

My cousin just hatched 5 chicks. One of them developed what we thought was splayed leg at 1-1/2 weeks old. She suspected injury due to possible trampling by the other chicks. When I first saw this chick I researched the best I could and came up with vitamin supplements in combination with...

Have two midget whites born 4/15. Picked these two out after observing group and they were most mellow. Also dangled their legs when I picked them up. (I was trying to pick out girls). Does the fanning out mean they are both Toms or can both genders do this in this breed?

I am caring for a pullet with chronic curly toes. Her symptoms began at a couple of weeks old and she was unable to stand or walk at the time. She improved greatly when the owner gave her Poultry Cell daily. She is now up and walking, able to roost on a low bar, and pretty normal in every other...

I have a vaccinated hen who had symptoms of Marek's several weeks ago (paralyzed wing and curled leg on same side). I started by giving her Nutri-Drench 1 cc daily, feeding feed mixed with warm water, and physical therapy for her curled leg. She is now up and walking, laying eggs, perching, and...
