Atomic Ranch, thanks for your help. I will try to find online and order. We might lose that hen, but if we can save the remaining three in the little flock that would be nice. We don't know for sure what the problem is, but I'd like to try the Corid just in case. We will do deworming with Ivomec...

I have a hen that might have cocci. How do you find Corid? Is it necessary to have a prescription from a vet? We don't have a farm supply store here. I can get to an Agway. Do you know fi they sell cocci medicine? Any advice is very appreciated.

We have a sick hen. She has been getting weaker an weaker, and I fear she might die soon. A friend who is very knowledgable looked at her today. She said it could be worms or cocci -- or something else. The hen is close to two years old. We are going to give her and the other three hens Ivomec...

Our chicks are almost four weeks, and we have not given them grit. A few of them may have had an insect or two when they were out in their new play pen, but other than that they only eat chick starter. I realize I should give them grit if I take them out again, if they eat more insects. Can...

One of my chicks, four days old, is not doing well. I don't think she is pasting up, but below the poop hole there is a black, hard lump about a quarter inch diameter. I have been wiping with both warm water and baby oil, but it almost seems to be a growth. It's a Buff Orpington, and she is...

Hello bcalnyc, I will have three chicks soon. Two are Brahma bantams and one is Buff Orpington standard size. Only females. I have not received them yet. They ship out from the hatchery today! I ordered a few more than we can house, because of the recommendations for shipping. And I have been...

Thank you LynneP and BigRay for your suggestions. Yes, I am nervous. I want those little chicks (most of them bantams) to be healthy. I won't be able to check on them every hour. But I'm sure it will be fun.

Can anyone tell me when you thinks it's safe to introduce pine shavings for little chicks? And what type of pine chavings do you suggest? I will get my chick delivery next week. I had planned to start them on paper towels, don't know exactly how to keep the brooder dry enough though. I already...

I PMd you.

I need to find a home for two Brahma bantam chicks, female, color buff. I will also have one Buff Orpington chick, female, in need of a home. We are in Northern Westchester. Pick up.

Hello mcdaid36. I sent you a PM, but as I'm new to this forum (and to chickens) I'm not sure you received it. I would like to hear back from you if you are still interested in Brahma bantams. I will also, hopefully, have one Buff Orpington to give away. Interested? Here is what I wrote to you...

We have ordered a few more chicks than we can house. We will have 2 Brahma bantams and 1-2 Buff Orpingtons for pickup in Northern Westchester, NY, first week of July.
