Anyone else??

Recently, lost my silkie roo and now I have a lonely chicken. So, I'm looking for a new buddy for her...possibly two! So, if you live in northeastern PA (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area) and have any silkies for sale, at a reasonable price...please let me know. No color or sex preference, but...

I've read other posts, where ear infections cause dizziness...which he doesn't seem dizzy. He's walking fine. Or, where the chicken may hold its head to one side. He isn't doing that, either. I'm not completely ruling it out. But, would the Duramycin-10 help with that, if he did have an...

Just went to check on him...I was keeping him in a box downstairs and when I peaked in, I saw blood in the box. So, I inspected and I don't know what he did or how he did it, but he was bleeding from the swollen ear hole. I don't know if he bumped it or if something burst. So, I took him out...

No, I haven't consulted a vet, yet...I don't really have the funds to do so right now, so that's why I'm hoping I can figure this out and treat it myself. And, he has no other symptoms. He seems to be acting normal, otherwise...that's why I don't understand what this could be! I started...

Anybody??

I haven't seen any improvement with my poor little guy. He's acting normal, otherwise. I had purchased Duramycin-10 from the tractor supply place. They recommended I give it a try, but I have been unsure if I should, after reading a few of the other posts on here, about sick birds. So, I have...

The chickens share a water container. If I get antibiotics for in the water, it won't hurt the other chicken will it??

Rogaine for chickens??

Nobody knows what this could be??

I noticed on my silkie, around his one ear, its raised. The tiny feather, that usually covers his ear hole is just a stub and it looks like, inside his ear is either blocked or just that swollen. It also appears to be harder around that ear, then around the other one. He wouldn't really let me...

She's a silkie mix.

...do I have a more serious problem? This is the first winter that I've had my chickens. My hen has been laying in her nesting box a lot, lately. She's there every time I go out to check on them. My rooster is some times laying by her, but he's a least moving around the coop. He's also...

I guess I'm just extra cautious because my chickens are dumb! LOL, and I mean that! They'll stand outside in the pouring rain and refuse to go back into their coop! Their coop isn't too big (8x4), so when the door is open, unless it's nighttime, they're outside. It'd be just my luck, that...

I think these question belong in this forum...I can't find a better place for them. Oh well, here it goes... My chicken started laying eggs about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I've been picking them up and putting them in a carton on the kitchen counter. I haven't washed them and haven't refrigerated...

Is it just me, or do chickens attract rats? Since, we've gotten our chickens, it seems like I see more rats (actually, I've never seen them before I got my chickens). Just last night I saw one hop across the yard and crawled underneath the coop. A few have gotten into our basement, but we've...

It doesn't say it's food grade, but says its nontoxic and safe for all animals. Would this be good to use? http://www.tractorsupply.com/equine/horse-stalls-accessories/horse-stall-accessories/horse-stall-tools/stall-dry-reg-absorbent-amp-deodorizer-26-lb--5358505 Thanks!

Hi, I'm kind of a new chicken owner. But, so far, so good! I've had my birds since July, and they're still squawking...so, I must be doing something right! Anyway, I've been curious on a definite breed and sex of my chickens. I was told Silkie for my white one, but I don't remember what, for...
