I have tried Rooster Booster wormer, tried ordering another wormer that has no withdrawal from Australia and they can't export, and DE and I'm at my wits end. I am trying to find a dosage and a for sure protocol for the hens. I have 14 Isa Browns. I have SEEN evidence in the poo of definite...

I have looked on here about using cat litter in the coops, but I am not finding the answer I'm wanting. I am currently using pine shavings, but with 14 hens it is not working very well. It's getting covered in poo too fast and I am not able to effectively scoop it out to maintain it. I have...

I have researched on here about the treatment of Roundworm and I'm reading DE and Organic ACV or Valbazen or Wazine. Here's my situation. I have the best laying Rhode Island birds ever. I generally get 14 eggs out of 14 chickens. Today I found a roundworm. It was about 2 inches long. (so...

I posted in emergencies about hens having weird droppings, but I have a slo-mo video of a neck stretching looks like gagging thing my hens are doing ALOT. I have had hens before and this is a first. Also, they are debeaked and I didn't know they were gong to be. Shoot...it's a video...is there...

Soooooooo, I decided to get change out my flock, sold the others and got 14 18 week old Isa Browns. I'm picky about my chickens food and care. Well, I don't know what my problem was, but I didn't ask questions when getting these. First, they came debeaked. I have NOT been in contact with a...

I know hens have pecking order, but how severe should they behave? My 2 Anericaunas backs are bald and 1 has feathers picked iff her side. Others get nailed too. Today one of my older gens grabbed to top of another's head and didn't let go, kind of like a rooster. This seems to be the one I...

I am going to try to post pictures, but I had a dead buff this week. I'm pretty sure I have another dying. I thought she was broody, but she just won't stay out of the laying box. I got her out and she stayed all puffed up and could hardly stand. She has a strange look on her face. I have other...

I posted a long post w pics and questions in the emergencies forum but I'm not sure anyone can see it??

I have 16 hens and 1 rooster. Awhile back I posted about my Americaunas being hurt and it came to light he was over treading. I purchased saddles and that's helping....well, I have this poor little buff that absolutely will not submit to him and he's really whomping on her. Her comb is...

I found a bunch of feathers in the hen box and then found this. (Picture) I put BLU-kite) on her but today it looks like this, which is worse. These are new chickens which have only been laying for about 2-3 months. They have plenty of room in their fenced area and a great shed w a nice roosting...

I have 17 hens. I have a feeder hanging that I put the feed in. I have been reading other forums about the food waste, but my concern is this. The feed on the ground is mixed with cedar chips and some poo. The newest birds will go around and clean up, but I'm not sure how long I should make them...

I have 8 Sexlinks that we bought from someone this summer. I think they about 1-1.5 years old. I had a hen that was picked on. She looked really bad, but no blood. I put that blue spray on her and have started feeding/watering her in the roosting area of their pen. I have given her extra protein...

We are having difficulty figuring what to do this winter w our chickens. The coop they haveis a major starter and we don't feel they are protected enough. Our only choice at this point is to out them in a garage that has a separate room w a doggie door. We'll build roosts and nesting boxes. The...

I feel like my chickens are going crazy! I have one that's broody (unrelated to my question) and here's the latest weird thing. Yesterday I got less eggs than normal. Well, a friend stopped over and wanted to see our coop. The chickens were already roosting for the night. All of the sudden they...

I have a hen that I guess is broody. She wants tobsit all day and night in the laying boxes unless I get her out, which I do. I am concerned she is not eating and drinking enough. After I gather the eggs for the day, should I block off their roosting/laying area?

We are new to chickens so please, be patient with my ignorance! :) We bought an existing flock of 8 Red Sexlink Hens that are about a year old. They came eating conventional food pellets of crumble. I changed them over to a NON GMO feed that a co-op makes. They are NOT able to make the...
