My coop is large and would need to be picked up with large equipment to do that. The run is covered with 1×1 hardware cloth on all sides. I have 21 birds so it is rather large.

Thinking about adopting some feral cats from my shelter to help with the problem but i also dont want them to go after my birds, especially my 8 week old chicks. So i may wait till they're bigger.

I live in the country so mice just pretty much get in the coop however they can. They dig under the coop and get in like little gophers. I fed the chickens out in the run and also have their water set up out there. I pick up their food every night put not the water because i have ducks in with...

I planned on using the permethrin to spray the coop after cleaning it. I thought about just praying them with it but it is still to cold here in Montana to spray down my chickens because the only time i can catch them is at night when they are roosting. I dont think im going to dust the young...

I made the mistake of using the dust last night without using a mask. Not a mistake i will make again because getting the stuff in my lungs last night hurt and my sinuses have been hating me all day plus im just getting over a bad head cold that is trying to rear its head again. I'm wondering if...

I'm experiencing this as well. Had one chicken that hasn't been looking well for some time and i thought it was internal parasites and was trying to figure out a wormer to give. I went into the coop this morning and she was looking pretty poorly and i went back to check her at lunch today and...

We have them on shavings with a heat lamp on one side of the metal tanks and food and water on the otherside out of the heat. The tanks are cleaned daily and stripped of their beding and their water bowel and food trays cleaned in soapy water. I don't have any pictures.

The little banty chick at work died today but there are know others that are being lethargic in that group so we are know treating for coccidiosis just in case. The little banty chick apparently had a bowel movement the other day that was full of worms. Is it possible for chicks to develop worms...

She is doing much better today but know we have a Blue Laced Red Cochin Bantam at work that is doing very poorly at work that when i put the hobbles on he falls on his face, so kept them off because of a chance of drowning. This one has a small strip of vet wrap around each leg were a co worker...

I will, hopefully this works and it's not anything like a hip dislocation ect. I will change her hobbles tomorrow and see how she does. Never had a chick like this before so i decided to take her home to see what i could do. I ended up with more chicks then i really "wanted" to get this year but...

Thank you for the links. She is getting around better with the hobbles on. I think the supplement that i got for their water has vitamin B12 in it, it's made specifically for chicks with probiotics, vitamins and electrolytes.

Bump

I took a chick home from work on Wednesday that has a leg that he injured on Monday. We think he injured it on the feeder. He hobbles on his good foot and when he does end up using his bad leg he sticks his wing out for balance. The leg is kind of turned out a little and when he is resting he...

I just residential just put my white pekin drake in freezer camp because of his aggression to my chickens. He has killed one and injured two others from his mating. Tryed to find him a girlfriend for months with no luck. Ducks are hard to get a hold of here

Well she has died, time to go fox hunting, this is the 4th one to be killed by what i know now is a fox. I hate keeping my chickens and ducks in their coop all the time but untill i trap and shoot this fox i guess i will have to. I let them out for just a few hours while my landlord was home and...

Still alive is about all i can say. Gave her a little water with a syringe. Still having a hard time breathing normal.
