I suspect one of my 3 week old chicks to have coccidiosis, or an injury. I will run a fecal float in a bit. But just in case it has coccidiosis, I want to have the dosage for Albon ready. I also have corid powder 20%, but I would rather treat only this one chick instead of everyone. I cannot...

I got some chicks from the feed store a few weeks ago. They were all healthy except for bad pasty butt. About 3 days ago I noticed my barred bantam cochin chick looking funny. Her neck seems to be positioned sideways. Not tilted backwards like wry neck, but I felt the neck, and the spine...

I got a few chicks and would like to give them goat gel as a preventative for wry neck. I never had chicks or adults with it, but I'd like to give the silkies some, just in case? TIA

I have a barred bantam cochin chick and I would want to know if it can be wing sexed or by coloring. It's the only one I have. Thanks!

I bought 5 Yokohama chicks as Straight Run the day before yesterday. I am wondering if there's a way other than vent sexing to tell the sex? TIA

I need to make space. I have 7 wonderful hybrids (3 Amberlinks, 4 ISA browns) They lay xxl eggs, every day. 1 year 4 months old. NPIP certified and AI clean flock. Free of external & internal parasites. I simply need to make some space, and these ladies lay too many eggs for our personal needs...

I wanted to know the dosage for Enrofloxacin 100g/l for a 10 lb Pekin duck. @casportpony, i remember you helped me with the dosage for my hen a few months ago. My pekin has developed bumblefoot or has a dark big wart looking thing on her foot pad. They always had nice healthy, clean feet, but...

Hello, I inherited a quad of Light Brahmas a few months back, and the Rooster (1 1/2 years old) has had red/inflamed pores on his entire skin since i got him. They came to me in poor condition. The hens had feathers missing everywhere and his leg feathers where also almost non existent, since...

Hey there, I have ordered Albon 5% Oral Suspension for a Rooster of mine. After running two fecal floats, i found he has coccidia in his gut. I am sure the dosage is going to be on the bottle. But I'd like to ask others about their experience with Albon. How long you have given it, and how much...

I have 5 chicks that came from a jubilee orp hen and a light brahma rooster. Both boys have yellow legs like daddy, three girls have flesh colored legs like mama? Possible?

I have raised 4 handsome boys to age 3 months. They are loving, and need to go to a good home. As pets/ flock protectors, not for meat. 3 are light Brahma/ lavender orps, one is ee/ light Brahma and carries the OE gene. I love them all, but i cannot keep them, since 8 boys crowing, would be a...

Hello all, I have a hen that has been having facial scabs for over 10 months now. No vet could help, no antibiotic is working, no other treatments have been helping. In fact, her skin issues are getting worse. I have done some research and am now thinking it may be a vitamin issue? I...

I got a young chicken from the lady that I got my jubilee orpington from. She's my 4 yr olds pet chicken. I don't know if she's a Polish hen, as I was told she was. I discovered today that she has 5 toes. Gray skin and feet. Her feathers are just starting to come in, excuse the wild look.lol...

I guess you can call it random rambling. Lol Hermine is making landfall around tallahassee tonight. Thank God I have only 3 chickens and they can easily be brought in when **** hits the fan tonight. I am kind of scared, I don't like tornados, and I sure don't like hurricanes!!!

Hi! I finally got my chickens yesterday. The lady that I got them from said she isn't sure if they're both hens. I took some pictures of them and the one on the right side is taller and has a more reddish comb and wattles. His/her tail feathers are also pointing down. I don't mind having a...

I finally found a nice lady that lives nearby that has a LOT of Jubilee Orpington hens. They are around 7 months old, not laying yet. I am going to look at them later today and hopefully bringing home at least 2,or 3...or 4. Lol Anything that I have to look out for, other than them looking...

I recently started to look for laying hens to buy in my area, but all ads of sellers in the surrounding area,mysteriously vanished. I don't know if I am allowed to post this here, but I'd like to ask if anyone near Tallahassee, Monticello, Perry,FL has any younger hens that are already laying...

I am so excited and happy that I found this forum :) I have had chickens before, mostly for meat and that was 6 years ago! Now we live in the outer skirts of Tallahassee and have plenty of room for my beloved chicken that I've missed so much! I just recently ordered an Xtra small rabbit...
