Hello. I have (7) backyard chickens; I did have (8). I recently had to put a chicken down, that has been showing signs of distress/illness, since last November. I took her to an Aviary Certified Vet that said she sees at least (1) chicken per week, although she also admitted to schooling...

Barred Rocks? Americaunas? Silver Laced Wyandottes? Golden Sexlinks?

Hello. I had started a previous thread re: my Americaunas, which seem to have been targeted by my other flock which contains Golden Sexlinks, Silver Laced Wyandottes & Barred Rocks. I have an Americauna rooster, too. Since my last thread, I have separated the Americauna hens from the others &...

Here are new pictures of my hen. I have tried everything everyone has mentioned, in the previous posts!! Currently, I have her isolated & have given her Sulmet for the last 48 hrs. I am also spraying her skin with Vetericyn. I have treated the coop 2X with Seven Dust, over the past 2 weeks &...

We just build a mobile run & are putting 3-4 in it, per day, making it less crowded during the day. Otherwise, they were just in our coop/yard, daily. We have hawks & I am too fearful to let them free roam, as I have done everything to predator proof the coop & have even watched one of the...

One more thing... I did put Blue Kote on them, the 1st day I started this thread, per another recommendation. That is why the hen & rooster have blue/purple on them, in the pictures. I only did (2) applications, as it didn't seem to keep the other hens away from them. I had a Barred Rock with...

The coop or enclosed area where they sleep at night & where there nesting boxes are, is an upcycled gazebo, so you can imagine the size of a gazebo. The attached "yard" is 10' 9" X 8'9". We also built an 8'X4' run, so they can get in the yard & get more variation in protein. After speaking...

I do, too!! I just sprayed them with Blue Kote & I already have a Barred Rock with a blue beak, b/c she's still pecking my rooster!! Going to try clipping blue beaks, tomorrow, per a friend's suggestion. Making saddles tonight. Also building a mobile run, to separate them.

Thank you!! I am sewing saddles today :-)

Hello. I have a backyard coop with 2 Americana (Easter Eggers) hens; 1 Americana rooster; 3 Golden Sexlinks; 3 Barred Rocks & 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes. My hens/rooster are 7 months old. The past month I've noticed that my Americana's (hens & rooster) are missing feathers towards the base of...
