I have a 16 week old brown leghorn who I think has injured her leg, but I can't find the source. When I let the birds out this morning, I heard a squawk and figured someone must have been given what-for by my broody hen... and then an hour later or so I saw this one laying down in the yard near...

HI all, I have a almost 2 year old blue ameraucana experiencing some sort of distress. She was fine yesterday but has not lain today, and when we went out to do chores, we found her by the waterer drinking copious amounts, with a wet vent area and yellow foamy slime on the ground under her and...

Gonna try to make this long story short- have a very sick, possibly dehydrated ?? leghorn. Backstory and history: Tues. of this week I noticed 7 of my 9 1.5 year old hens had mild bumblefoot, from some with just reddened pads, to 3 or 4 with a fair sized scab but not much swelling overall...

They are not new to each other, according to the previous owner. I think the aggressiveness is just due to the recent stress of moving and only having each other to see in there. Thanks for the suggestions. I think the nest is allowing the Ameraucana a place to retreat/a barrier to slow the...

Acquired 2 new beautiful LF birds to add to my flock a couple days ago. One, an ameraucana, is about 7 months, another, an EE is a year old. I put them in my "chicken hospital/quarantine" pen which is a 5x4 nook in my garage caged off with pine shavings, a wood ash pit, and sand on the floor...

But my question is, can I give another wormer after I've already just given one?

bump... still need advice.

I have no pics unfortunately... it was my daughter who found them while she was doing her coop chores this morning... they're in the compost pile now. The ones I saw origionally were about a cm to half cm, very thin, white and quite wiggly and in the cecal poo .Almost perfectly matches up with...

My little flock of 8 is having issues with cecal worms. I noticed them a week ago, and started Safeguard pellets (because the 2 feed stores near me didn't have the paste or liquid, which I would have greatly preferred). Yesterday my white leghorn was all fluffed up and acting lethargic and...

Wow thanks for the picture! That looks like a really nice setup. We have our 6 week olds in the coop with the big girls but they have a penned off area just for them with a hole small enough that they can escape in and out but the big girls can't follow. Then in the run I put in a milk crate...

Nevermind... I put 'em back in their little grow out pen. They'll have to be content. It's sad becaues they love to be with the others but they're gonna get killed if I can't supervise 24/7, which I can't. I can't even easily let them into the run with the others a bit each day... they don't...

I have six 9 week old buff orps and two 5 week old white leghorns. We kept the white babies in their own baby pen in the coop for a week, however they kept finding ways to escape and hang with the big girls, so after a week separated I decided to take the baby pen wall down. They went 2 days...

I really like sand because I scoop the poop and not much sand is lost in the process. I do throw the sand into the compost pile with the poop, but there's not much sand in the end compared with the poo (kinda like kitty litter)... oh so much poo. When I started this I had NO idea how much they...

We use sand inside our coop. Right now it's moist because it just got put into there, but I figure on the warm days I'll shoo the girls out, open the big coop doors, and it can dry out a whole lot more. I had pine shavings for the first week we had the coop, and that was enough for me to hate...

problem is, I don't know how I could cover it AND have the heat, since the lamp is in the way of what would be the cover and I am not sure there is a safe spot to move it. I hate using the lamp at all but its 30 outside tomorrow and I don't own a pen to put them in elsewhere.

Ugh! Bought two 4-week-old leghorn chicks at a swap this weekend, and one of them is just plain trouble! I have the little ones in a 4 x 8 x 6 ft tall weather-tight/uninsulated coop with the big girls; they are separated though with a 4 1/2 ft divider "playpen" for their safety from the big...
