    What is wrong with my hen's eye?

    I dosed her orally with Tylan50 both in AM and PM the other day and then once each morning thereafter. Today is day three and she is looking so much better. Thank you @Eggcessive

    What is wrong with my hen's eye?

    If she's not sneezing, has no nasal or eye drainage, could this still be a respiratory disease? I have Tylan 50 and I believe you are supposed to give it for five days straight, correct? This will be fun because I adopted her at five months of age from a breeder and she isn't very social...

    What is wrong with my hen's eye?

    Help! I noticed today my EE hen has one eye that is slightly shut. She doesn't have any sinus infection symptoms, in fact she seems perfectly fine other than her eye. It does look a little crusty though and she's not very tame so getting any closer right now was not feasible. I took this pic...

    Red Mite Infestation in Large Flock

    BccBlue88, if you know any other chicken owners in your area, you could see about sharing this item. The 8 ounces will go a really long way (you only need 3 ounces per 10 gallons) , so splitting it 2 or 4 ways will still work and you can save money. And yes, there are other things out there...

    Red Mite Infestation in Large Flock

    For anyone who is looking to purchase the Elector PSP, I spent about 1.5 hours the other day looking for the best price and wanted to share with all of you. I saw lots of great reviews on it so I thought I would give it a try. Elector PSP can be used both in hen house and on the chickens...

    Photography

    The best way to take photos of your chickens is to sit down on the ground. Let them come to you. They'll be curious about your camera and you can sometimes get the most awesome pics doing this. Also, you'll see that some of the chicken images are altered with Photoshop to create more of a...

    My girl died today from MItes

    Hi MG! Can you follow up with me on how your chickens did within the two weeks of treating them with Atroban 11%? Did it make them sick and were you still able to eat the eggs right away or was there a waiting period? And did you spray or dunk them? Were you able to use this solution to...

    OK, Sevin dust, is it good or not?!

    Sorry to keep dragging out this old post but in reading each and every post written, I haven't seen anyone address the question about chickens accidentally ingesting the Sevin dust. If it can get into their eyes and nostrils while dusting, can't that be really bad for them? And some folks are...

    Raw Corn for chickens?

    Also, feeding too much fresh corn can cause fatty liver disease. I learned the hard way.

    My baby is ill-- repeated head shaking and weight loss

    Mine is doing a similar thing, but not shaking her head as much. She too has lost a lot of weight. And I noticed that her face around her eyes has gone white. She is drinking water and eating, but obviously not enough. But while watching her, I noticed that it looks like she is trying to...

    Vaccinated pullets keep dying from Marek's

    Thank you for your reply. I spent two days learning everything I could about Marek's when this happened to me last year so I already knew all this info. Hence buying the 10 week old pullets. I personally feel that having 3 out of 3 pullets I purchased in the last couple of months get sick and...

    Vaccinated pullets keep dying from Marek's

    Well obviously no one has an opinion on this. I am going to buy a couple of 5 1/2 month old chickens from a private breeder today. They have been vaccinated. Let's see if maybe the feed store never eradicated the Marek's off their property and are exposing the brand-new chicks to the disease...

    Vaccinated pullets keep dying from Marek's

    My heart is breaking! Last year, I purchased some pullets from my local feed store that did not have proper Marek's vaccinations and they infected my property with the disease. I went through about a half dozen pullets and only have one hen alive from those. This year, I was trying to replenish...

    Puller or roo?

    I just brought home this 10 week old chicken yesterday. They told me at the feed store it was a female because she was one of the smallest in the batch. But today I'm looking at her long tail feathers and I see them going straight up into the air. Did they sell me a roo?

    Hen or roo?

    I bought two 3 month old Americaunas from the local feed store where the chickens pull each other's feathers out from boredom. I noticed one is growing back curly tail feathers. Thoughts?

    Dying of old age (natural death) symptoms

    Redcatcher, you really need to contact the Guiness World Book of Records and give them your info. You would succeed Matilda the Chicken as Worlds Oldest Chicken. Matilda only lived for 16 years. And my EE who is 9 has gray feathers around her beak too! She is sadly succumbing to old age right now.
