No I understand completely about her potential to be a carrier. I'm just happy to see her and them doing well. I didn't even get a chance to give her the Tylan 50, I just gave the flock some garlic and cayenne pepper, and wetted their feed a little bit ( its their favorite treat ;-))...

Thank you for the links very informational! :-O They just don't take care of things. I spend as little time in that coop as possible but even I see things its crazy. I feel like I know more about their flock than I do. ugh but I don't want to get on that it's so sad to see those girls...
Yes if I do decide to bring my flock, I was going to keep them penned anyway until they became acclimated with the new surroundings. There's a lot of work that needs to be done and clearing brush is one of them.
What about geese? The owners say they don't want the geese to stay but I don't think they would mind the chickens. Are geese prone to the same sicknesses? I also have some svart hona but they are not housed with the sick flock they are are and have been in a separate area of the property...
Thank you guys (found the smiley icon lol) I would just feel so much better with keys in hand. I've had so much misfortune these past few months, I just want something to go right. @EggSighted4Life yes indeed if all goes well! Its about 7 wide acres of space.
@aart There is no coop at...
Tell me about it I'm so nervous I hope things go well with the close. Crosses fingers
I do because I love my girls, its weird.....I know. They bring my such joy and happiness. They each have own personalities that's just hilarious. There's a few pullets who haven't even started laying yet...

You are fine ;-) I don't want to cull them if I don't have too. I'm just frustrated. I see how things look when we close but until then I might give her some Tylan 50. I know it won't cure it but hopefully it will help her feel better.
Thank you guys.
We are closing on a home but had to move from our previous residence. I'm not sure how long the closing process is going to be but was told around 30 days. That's the only reason I kept them otherwise I would have sold them or eaten them. Shame. There are hard to find breeds...
Just wanted to updated everyone one of my girls has developed a "cold" though I suspect respiratory disease, I'm going to cull her. Should I also cull the rest of my flock even though they are not showing symptoms?
I don't mind such things from my own flock they have eating things that make me gag, but I still love their eggs. The problem is I know/trust what they eat at my friends place. I only saw the one girl lay I'm not sure if the others are laying or not. Thank you for the worming idea I will do...
That's why I wanted to know if there was something I could give them, I didn't want to permanently rehome my girls because the move would be "short." Trust me its something I've contemplated . :-(
My girls from what I've seen don't go in the coop, they stay outside, but I don't know what...
I temporarily re-homed my girls with a friend of mine while I'm in the process of moving. I wanted to quarantine mine but they thought it would be fine to put them with their chickens. Normally I wouldn't think to much about it but their flock is sickly. Hens and roos missing feathers, I saw...
My chickens apparently love hard cat food ( as they eat my neighbor's cat food) much to my surprise and disgust. Sorry to hear about your Khaki male. I lost mine too after he broke his foot he was a great duck. He was healing fine and then one night he never came back....that was my only nice...
The drake only did it once and it was only when I was outside the fence. Otherwise he just does that weird "dance" with the raised crest and the hiss noise. He's too heavy for me to pickup last time I tried I got a wing to the face, lol. What's wrong with the bread? When I get a call for...
Thank you both for you helpful suggestions. I give the ducks treats probably not good for them treats.....like bread.......but they love it. Alexandra, I don't know why but I had a hunch the drake was influencing the other ducks, I removed him for a bit and although the ducks were still wary...
Thank you Alexandra,
I just don't understand it. All the other animals rabbits, chickens, etc are fine and welcome but the ducks are just standoffish. Yet I raised each animal with constant touch and interaction. My neighbor also has ducks but they don't interact with them and it shows(...
