Just came home from a trip to find one of my sweetest Hens weak and with liquid- milky green poop. I checked her and there's no injuries, vent looks normal. All of my other birds are healthy. I started her on Corid (1t./gal) and I got her to eat some soft home made bread. Does anyone know what...
What is going on with my Cochin? We recently added a new hen to the flock so I figured she got pecked but it's bigger today. What is this? She's not sneezy or runny, she's eating, drinking, and pleanty of energy.
These 3 little chickens are about 8 weeks old. I know it's early but I'm wondering if anyone could tell what gender they might be?

So my best bet for this little guy is to wait to see if it's barred?
I'm glad I asked, I totally thought that females had dark spots! This is all great to know!
Thanks for all the great information! This is close to what the rooster dad looks like.
He's not barred. This little chick is very light. For cream leg bars I thought the females had a dark spot and males have a white spot- is that right?
I'm having big time issues with chicken lice and I stumbled upon this:

It basically says to use wood ash to rid them. Has anyone tried this?
How weird my hen who is about the same age who was laying stopped laying like a month ago! But she's totally healthy! I'm also in the SD area! Must be something in the air.
So it's been almost 3 weeks and she is still not the same although better then she was. She's been back in the mini coop with the other chicks for a week now. She doesn't have a lot of energy or balance but she eats drinks and poops like normal. Is there anything else I should be watching for...
This sweet little thing has been doing a lot better. After some food water and rest I noticed improvement.. We started her on Corrid anyway (to be safe) I've been watching her closely and I noticed her left wing has been sitting differently and her tail is a little crooked. I have not found any...
This is all he could find, from what I've read I should do 2 oz per gallon for 2 days then do 1 oz per gallon for 5 days. Do you k ow if that sounds right?
