    Chicken Eye Problems

    I've read in here that eye issues could be respiratory related. My rooster had a puffy eye and some discharge. I put neosporin on it but after that didn't seem to help I used Durmycin-10 in the water. I would do more research on BYC and hopefully you'll also get more responses. Good luck!

    2017 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    Haha, its so funny - the deer come around here often and the chickens are always curious (the Roo somehow knows they are no harm, otherwise he is a bad Protector!) - So the chickens get used to them and mingle (and vice versa?)... And often, the deer do not care if you get that close (that was...

    Integration advice needed please!

    Hi All! My husband and I just put the 3 girls in the adult's coop! Since its dark out, they didn't seem to mind, just a little wimper here and there. They fit on the roost but I think I will have to add another one so they have more room. One of us will be up early when the sun rises to check...

    Integration advice needed please!

    tmarsh83, thank you for your input - You're right I am thinking too hard about it. I understand they will bicker...and you're right about the safety blanket! That's a good one. Its the Roo that I am worried about; being a little too aggressive toward them..but I definitely appreciate the advice...

    How to serve calcium and grit?

    Search "stainless steel coop cups," I use 2 and hang in the coop and 2 outside the coop on a fence. The girls and Roo know where to go to get the grit and oyster shell. (They free range). I feed my flock grower/starter since I read on BYC that the layer feed is not good for the Rooster. He...

    Does anyone else have a pre-fab coop, should I paint it, stain it???

    I used 2 coats of Kennel-Seal by Agralife on all pieces of my prefab coop. It dries clear. I did this before putting it together since I knew it was poor quality wood. I also had to flash part of the roof and use silicone to seal certain gaps/holes.

    how to stop RIR from being mean?

    Following. I'm experiencing a very similar situation. Our 3 younger girls have been in a separate coop but wished they were all in one. I think they will always remain separate at this point. They are still scared of the bigger ladies and not sure if they will ever warm up.

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    I'm still impatient but know I will probably have to wait it out...but anyone want to take another stab at this black australorp? Almost 7 wks old. And the other two (on the ends) for comparison- who I'm pretty sure are pullets.
