I have not recently added any new birds. they free range when we are home, around 3-4 times a week and cooped at night. this past summer I did change from nipple waterers to bowels, I'm wondering if that possibly contributed to this? probably going back to nipple waterers next spring.

Awesome! thanks again for the knowledge! we have had chickens for 3 years now and this is first time for this and we were kinda stressing about it! I feel much better about the whole process now!

how long should we wait after treatment before consuming eggs again? The vet said 24hrs? Im a little concerned also that we have been eating the eggs before diagnosis? We havent had any Ill affects? Thank you for the video!

I recently had my 1year old golden lace wyandot diagnosed with coccidiosis by my vet with fecal sample. Her only symptom was excessive loose stools with dirty butt. It began appearing in two of the barred rocks also so we are treating all of the chickens with corrid for 10 days. I am very...

Great! Thank you!!

Thanks for the advice! any suggestions on which type of wormer and will it be safe to eat the eggs after?

I was told that apple cider vinegar would take care of any worm issues if any? I use 2-3 tbsp per gallon of water every month or so.

Ive never wormed them? or had them tested.

I have a 1 yr old Barred Rock and she keeps getting dirty butt with diarrhea! I’ll bathe her she fine for while. I’ve tried apple cider vinegar with mother and yogurt. She acts totally normal and the other ladies seem fine. Should I treat for worms?? And are her eggs safe to eat??? Please help!!

will do! Thanks!

their poop seems runny at times, they get 16% layer feed with occasional scratch grains. we let them free range almost daily in the evenings and their behavior has been fine nothing out of the ordinary. it has been very hot so that could be part of it.

I've noticed my two RIRs vent feathers have recently started having a white chalky substance around their vent feathers its not real bad now but I was wondering what it is and if its anything to be worried about they are approx 3 yrs old now. it appears to be dried poop? and is white. any info...

is it normal for the others to slack off on the egg laying when one is brooding? Im hoping that they will start laying again soon and that this is only temporary?

One of our hens decided she was going to brood and is constantly in one of the four nesting boxes unless we make her get out and then she'll eat a little then back to the box. So the other 5 have not laid any eggs in the last two days? I was wondering what I should do if anything at this point...

She is acting normal and active I did pick her up and checked her out and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. She does have a bare spot on her bottom and I have been using blue kote on that. All 3 of our reds have some feathers missing on their bottoms and I have been told it's from...

She is about one year old. She is acting normal and is active nothing out of the ordinary on waste and seems to be eating fine. The only other thing is she has bare spot on her bottom just below her vent and was told it's from the others pecking at her and I've witnessed it also. We have 3 RIR...

Not sure whats going on with my RIR I first thought her comb was just dry but seems to be getting worse? The other five seem fine maybe a little white on their combs here and there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the info! I will definitely get the BluKote and check for lice and mites. Do you think the feathers will grow back?

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to what caused this? My RIR approx 12months old recently lost feathers on her bottom below the vent. It seems mildly swollen and irritated but the skin is intact. She is acting fine not sure if anything I should do at this point.
