OK this is a bit long but here goes. My baby chicks kept dying this past 6-9 months and some juvies too. For no reason. I went through the gamut trying different meds ect... finally I had enough and sent one in to have a necropsy. The diagnosis came back that it was most likely "oral thrush"...

I am wondering if Oxine will kill of the Mother in Apple Cider Vinegar? I am rinsing with Oxine and have been adding ACV to the water and realized that perhaps the Oxine is killing off all the benefits of using ACV. Any opinions? Same question but with Acidified Copper Sulfate? Will it kill...

Hello, I am looking for a Black Ameraucana Rooster of breedable age and good type available for shipping Thank you

Hi, Soon the weather will be warming up and I know the lice will be showing up more. The chicks seem to be the hardest hit because I have never used Eprinex or Ivermectin on them. Can I? And if so how young can they be? I can lower the dosage for body weight. Does anyone else use this on...

That in the wonderful world of chickendom I would have to choose my friends carefully lest I befriend someone who was not in the “click”. That I would risk the opportunity to be part of a group of the “Elite” because I stood up to defend someone who wasn’t one of “them” That the availability...

Hi I would like to do a test hatch but am not sure anymore where to post it to. Thanks

Hi, I have all the birds locked up except some culls and once again have noticed them being picked off one at a time. Either Fox or Coyote or both. I have tried everything to trap them but they don't fall for it. So, I need to know HOW do I do a Stake Out? Can someone please give me a step...

Hello, I know we aren't supposed to eat the eggs for 2 weeks after using Ivermectin, but what about hatching their fertile eggs? Is it ok?

I have a rubbermaid horse trough that is about 4 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The horse doesn't use it anymore and I was thinking about using it for the ducks and or geese to bathe in. I was thinking of building up the sides and making a ramp for them to get into. But could they get...

Hi, I am at my wits end of what to do to help my pullet who is about 5 months old and an Orpington. I can't figure out if it is a broken wing or leg. I found her a few weeks ago lying on her side in the coop. I don't know what happened to cause her to go down because I had been on vacation...

Just wanted to pass along what I think is a fantastic help for me. This is a plug--but honest, if it wasn't great I wouldn't plug! I became a platinum member. I was so tired of having to delete photos to add new ones. Of having to go through and delete posts because I was running out of...

I have read not to use cedar shaving for the chickens litter, only pine shavings. Why is that?

Hi everybody, I need advice on what I should dose my Orp girl with (or if I should) I have been on vacation for two weeks and got back last week. I noticed my Orp girl wasn't moving alot and I thought it was a foot issue. Her right foot has a swollen toe (not really bad yet) but it is...

Hi, I found one of my Silkied Ameraucana's standing all by itself in the outside run yesterday and it didn't move when I put food out for everyone. It is around 15 weeks old now and has always been a little smaller than the others. It refused to walk and after I picked it up I realized that...

Hi, I have green algae growing in the waterers and other than elbow grease what is the best way to kill it off that won't hurt the chickens? Will the algae hurt the chickens? I have been reading about putting ACV in there-- how much per gallon do I need and does it need to be organic? Apple...

Hi, Well I followed the link on making the nipple waterers. I used the 11/32 drill bit and everything went together. However water is coming in a continual leak from each nipple. Not the gasket but the metal nipple. Drip, drip, drip. Why? I am wondering if there is too much pressure on the...
