    Help me stop broody behavior!!!

    I have some hens that have been broody for about 3 months. How long until they will stop on their own? I don’t want any more chicks but I am thinking of letting them hatch out one each just to get them to stop. I am getting worried about their health.

    sick chicken

    I am so sorry about your hen. I am not sure what that could have been. The saliva coming from beak sounds like what happened to mine toward the end. I noticed that in another hen one night when I was tending the flock for scaly mites. She had liquid dripping from her beak and a sour smell...

    How to treat chicken with large sores?

    Thanks for the advice. I do think we should have waited to let her out with the flock but we did observe quite a bit to see if she was pecked at by the other chickens and to my surprise she was not. Maybe they picked on her when we were not looking... little suckers. Also the rooster on her...

    How to treat chicken with large sores?

    My chicken has very large sores on her wings, under her wings, on her back and crop area. I treated them with betadine & Neosporin daily and baths weekly for about two weeks.

    1 chicken dead, 2 not moving with huge lesions, all have bad lice. Help!

    I am not a vet but I would think that the lice caused the wounds that then became infected. Antibiotics may be necessary so good thing the vet is coming buy on Monday. Permethrin is some toxic stuff that is why I mentioned to only use it in the case of an infestation. It may be hard on...

    1 chicken dead, 2 not moving with huge lesions, all have bad lice. Help!

    The main objective is to kill of the parasites and keep them from coming back and keep the chickens warm and the lesions clean. Make sure they are getting plenty of nutrition and water. This will give them a fighting chance to heal. But if they get worse or don't seam to get better then you...

    sick chicken

    Well sadly we had to put her down this morning. She had taken a turn for the worst. Her head was down eyes closed. We did a necropsy on our own the best we could. Mostly a learning exploitative venture. We found: - No egg - Some yellowing inside her cavity (not sure if it was just fat...

    sick chicken
