They are eating right now. I made some vitamin/electrolyte water and gave them tuna. They are usually on starter grower medicated but the last week they were on flock raiser. (I had been sick and didn't get to tractor supply) Today they have starter/grower unmedicated. Being sick, I also had...

I have a group of 6 orpington/easter eggers about 3 months old. On Monday night, I picked one up. She was so thin! Tuesday morning she was dead. I checked the others. 2 others are thin. 1 of the thin ones had a bump on eyelid and beak. Today they are lethargic, just sitting and isolated. I...

Thank you! I am new and did not know that. Do I feed the start/grower until they actually start laying?

Thanks for all the info. Yes they free range. I will pen them for a week and see what happens. I don't believe they are roosters. No crowing or roo behaviors. They are fed laying crumbles. I'll post some picts this afternoon.

I have 4 white orpington hens. They are 34 weeks old and haven't started laying any eggs. (even though I do tell them they need to start earning their keep lol) I'm in South MS area. Any ideas?

Thank you. I'll treat with corid. I have the powder. Do I treat all the chicks or just her roomie (the only one that separated with her)? Everyone else seems fine.

oh no.. went to check on her. she has died. she had a quarter size puddle at her beak, slimy looking..I wish I knew what happened to her. :(

I look it over and didn't see mites or lice. The coop they are in is off the ground about 5 feet. (they are now divided apart in it) I notice yellow liquidy near the vent on some feather. I will watch for poop. They were off medicated food for about a week. I'm picking some up on Monday. I'll...

Any idea what could be wrong with my chicken? the area around the eyes/head is blue colored. comb is pale looking. she/he has been active until today. now sleeping,, lethargic. this one is a buff orpington from a npip breeder. she/he has been separated with a white orpington for about a month...

Update: my chick is standing now and walking around. She just ate but is still isolated. Excited she is better!

Here are some pictures I took last night. Here is a link to a video. She tried to get up and flipped over. It was the first time she has done that. I was sad. Thanks for any help.

There was one hen at the time. She is still the same right now.

Yesterday I moved 22 of my 8 week old chicken to a large coop house from a smaller above the ground hen house. This was the first time any of them had been on the ground and had so much space. They all seemed happy, dirt bathing and running around. There were some bullies but nothing major that...

Thanks for the info. We left right after that post and just got home. 10 babies now! 5 eggs still under her, didn't realize there were so many! We will move her tomorrow night. She has food and water right in front of her. We moved the babies to a separate heated place where we have 9 four day...

i'm new to chicken raising. Please let me know what I need to do. My hen is in a nesting box in a large coop house. The nesting box is about 5 feet off the ground. There is one rooster and one other hen in this coop house. (10 x 8) My hen has been sitting on about 10 eggs. Two hatched last...

Unfortunately, my girl did not make it through the night. I am so sad. She was my fav. :( I gave her the Corid but perhaps I was too late or it was something else. I'm treating the others with medicated food just in case. Do I need to dose them with the powdered Corid or will medicated food be...

I'm new to chicken raising. I have 3 hen and 1 roo easter eggers (was told ameraucana but I didn't know the difference) Had a few months now. Everything has been normal, eating, running around etc. Yesterday and the day before, she seemed sleeping, not moving around. Today she won't stand and I...

Hi. I'm new to hatching and am trying to fix a mistake. Help appreciated. I have a little giant incubator with fan and auto turner. (holding 41) I have been keeping the temp at 99.5 and humidity between 45-55. However, I didn't know I shouldn't add eggs after the process starts. I've been adding...
