I have 2 week old chicks. Someone(s) have had runny poo since day 2 of bringing them home. 5 days ago I started ACV in their water. This morning one chick is in a corner or walking slowly around with her wings all scrunched up around her neck. I’ve had big chickens act like this but not babes...

Can anyone tell me what two grasses I have in the pic? Thanks!

This is someone’s chicken. She said it went down fast. Does anyone know what this might be? Thanks

I have had chickens for about 10 years now. Have gone through all the fancy ones; hybrids; and came to like the BO's. Now I am ready to have excellent egg layers and execellent meat birds all in one! What is your choice?? Thanks!

Last year I incubated some of my BO eggs (BO roo). Long story short, most of the hens hardly laid at all and soon quit altogether. I have healthy chickens; fed correctly, etc. Is this to be expected??

I incubated some of my BO eggs a year and a half ago. It seems that they have basically quit laying. Some never laid much at all - thinking back on it. I raised BO’s in the first place so I could hatch my own instead of buying them every 3 years or so. Has anyone had a problem with the hens they...

i posted on here a couple weeks ago about chickens with watery poop. Got fecal float done and they had round and capillaria worms plus cocci... treated with safeguard then had floats done again. Still had cocci but at the same time our vet sent a poop sample to Iowa State for exam. Report came...

so the past several days my chickens (18) have been draining their gallon of water in about 5 minutes. 2 gallons does not last them all day. Something has changed and I’m not sure what it is. Even in the hottest part of summer they never drank their waterers dry. Anyone have thoughts?

my 2day old chick had wry neck. Treated with poly visol, selenium, and vitamin e for approx two weeks. She is now 8 weeks and is seems to have the bump again and also has a beak problem. It does not close properly - goes to one side or the other. Is this common with wry neck?? And does she need...

Wasnt sure where to put this post... recently I read where peppermint oil mixed with water in a sprayer deters flies etc in the coop. I grow peppermint for my “Amish Tea” so I was thinking to put extra peppermint stalks in the coop...? Do you think if they eat on them it will hurt the chickens...

I found one of my 2 week old Barnavelder chicks with a long something stuck in her throat/crop. I cannot see it from her beak. Am going to take her to the vet and let them cut her open unless someone can give me a better choice. It feels like it is just under the skin in her throat about and...

I incubated two batches of chicks this spring. Friends need hens. Unfortunately, we got a lot of roos. how old do they have to be before I can cull them for meat? They are BO's so I was told they are good for meat also. This is the first time we have done this so I'm not sure how old they need...

I have 15 chicks that I incubated and are now under the MHP in our shop (60 degrees). Will be hoping to get them out of there by the weekend when it gets a bit warmer and they will be 1 week old. In the coop I am taking them to I have been trapping mice. I am not sure how they are getting in...

So I just unpacked my bator. I thought there would be instructions -but not so much. Where can I get detailed info on this subject? It doesn't even tell where to place the wire separator things or how to place the egg in the bator...? Let alone ALL the other things I guess I need to know about...

Recently we have had a couple hens attacked by something. Both had all the neck feathers and whatever little else is there, ripped off. Whatever it is does not go any further. The last attacker today came right up to the barn and did the deed... our two jersey cows were there all day also. We...

Just recently the other chickens are picking on one and she is slow and one pupil is dilated and the other not. Her head is looking purplish... not sure if it's because of them picking on her or if it is part of whats wrong... Anyone have an idea? Thank you!

Has anyone actually milked their Dexter? We have just started with Dexters, and have one that has calved and 2 more that are due in June. We haven't had a chance to try milking yet... this cow is pretty wild - so not sure we are going to get it done. After we bought our cows, we learned that...
