Is there something (protein supplements wise) that I can add to the 16% crumble I have now?

They were on medicated chick start until 18 weeks, then gradually added layer crumble until 21 weeks, then by 22weeks they were on full layer crumble. I actually pulled their scratch because we had a sudden fatal bout of aspergillosis and lost 6 hens. What do you recommend I give them daily...

Hello everyone!! My flock is a dozen members strong, and 8/12 are laying (the other 4 should be any day now!). I believe they are getting bored with just their later crumble and random heads of lettuce here and there. What are some things they CANNOT eat? What do your girls enjoy the most...

Thank you for your response! So I could add maybe 10# of high protein dry cat food to a 50# bag of my layer crumble? Do I need to crunch it up first? Or will they do fine with the size of the cat food? Thanks again!

Hey everyone! After a brief bout with parasites and then pecking each other, my girls are having a hard time with feather regrowth. I'm looking for something that I can add to their food and/or water that will help their feathers come back in. I've tried Manna poultry conditioner and Manna...

Just lost another. This one was a much different death... Very violent and quick. I was pipetting her meds and she was super limp, eyes closed, etc. then she started gasping, flapping hard so I put her back in the quarantine cage and she had massive seizure for over a minute then fell over...

Just made contact with them for further info. Hoping to send my girl(s) out to them today...

The hen in the photo passed away in my arms last night; two total gone. 2 more in quarantine this morning. New symptom, my Wyandotte had lime green foam seeping from her vent and very labored breathing and lethargy. I felt to see if she was egg bound and felt nothing. Going out again now to...

They've been in the same run since the beginning. It's 1/4 dirt with food grade diatomaceous earth in the shade, then 3/4 run with EcoFlake shavings that I change once a week. Same ol' good, fresh water every day. And they've even been on Sulmet for the last week because of loose stools!

We're in Orange County, California

We suddenly like lost a 15 week old French Maran this morning, then another came up with sudden symptoms within an hour (same breed/age). Now our 25 week old Silver Wyandotte is exhibiting the same symptoms! Very pale faces, tail feather loss (no visible sign of mites/lice), closed pale eyes...

25 week old Amerucana hen. She is growing so I'm assuming she's eating and drinking fine? She's in a mixed flock of 19 other hens. Her upper beak seems to be peeling? Please advise

Hello! Our coop floor is covered with a lineolium flooring. What does everyone use to clean their floors with?

No! Never got an answer... I don't know what to do!

Hello! Our run is 10'x17' and it will be place upon loose decomposed granite. Should I also put down a few bails of Eco Flake on top of the decomposed granite? If so, how many inches thick of flake? What's your run floor made of? We live in Southern California, so weather isn't an issue...

For your roost, what type of construction did you use? Round dowels or 2x3 pieces? Are they supposed to roost on flat, narrow boards or round? Thank you!

So I have a flock of 15 ranging in age from 3.5 weeks to 1 week old. They get along just fine, but the bigs are starting to knock over the food and water containers. They are already raised up and a brick (and the littlest ones can JUST reach it). My question is, should I separate the biggest...

My 4 week old little ladies are starting to get quite high off the ground! When do I need to start clipping their wings?!

Can I elevate it a little if they're only about 7 days old? I guess I can use different lifting methods and watch them to see what works. That must be getting comfortable in their new home cause they're running around like crazy! So cute :)
