    baby chicks dying

    Thanks everyone! Hope this is it. If I treated the adult layers with Corid as well, do I need to not eat their eggs for awhile?

    baby chicks dying

    Will it hurt to worm them if I'm not sure about the cocci? I did see a little bit of bloody poop.

    baby chicks dying

    We had 27 baby chicks shipped in mid-October so they're now about 3 months old. Just this week we've lost 5 and they just appear squished in the pen. Still have heat lamp and plenty of space. One day there were 3 dead and all the rest were laying on top of them. Any suggestions?

    broiler chicks dying for some reason

    We started with 52 broilers and are now down to 40. One minute fine and then dead. Some are very small and not growing. Not respiratory. When we find them dead, they're almost flatened. Don't know if that's anything but strange. Good feed and water.

    how much feed for a large flock that free-ranges this time of year

    Just curious what the amount of supplemental feed I should be giving my girls (we have about 60 now), when they are free-ranging all day. I think I may be overfeeding them with laying pellets and cracked corn. So I need a formula if anyone has one!

    Deep Litter Method and Poop Trays

    We're building a new coop and I'm thinking about the DLM. Where do you get these poop trays?

    worming free range chickens

    1. What's the best way to worm free range chickens? 2. Old hen has nasty vent - bloody, clogged, matted feathers. I cleaned it off with warm rag as good as I could. What else?

    too many chickens

    We've had chickens for almost 10 years. I get new ones every other fall or so, since we're selling eggs. We've lost many over the years to predators (mostly opossums and hawks) and one whole flock to marek's (now we get them vaccinated). They're completely free range and a lot of them are...

    integrating flocks

    This past spring one of my hens disappeared and came back 3 weeks later with 7 chicks. She raised them in the barn away from the chicken coop, then moved back into the coop and left them on their own. Now, they need to move in with the rest - I don't want the mess in the barn. I've moved them...

    huge crop impaction

    One of my older hens - probably 5 yrs. old, has a crop impaction like I've never seen before. It's as big as she is. What should I do?

    who sucks eggs?

    Okay, this has just gone from bad to absolutely ugly! My daughter was just looking at this egg with the hole in the end of it and the egg started wiggling!!! She screamed and I came running. I smashed it and probably 50 nasty looking worms- 1" long, hard looking like - were crawling around...

    who sucks eggs?

    I've been suspicious of something stealing eggs, but no proof. Last night I found an egg with a hole in the end and it had been sucked out. It's way too cold for snakes - in the teens here. What could it be?

    sitting hen killed, can I try to hatch the eggs?

    I REALLY want to try this. She was a wild game hen that just flew into our yard one day several years ago. She's the only hen I ever had that wanted to sit and has hatched out several times, crossed with our naked neck rooster!!! He died and now someone gave us a Japanese silkie rooster. Can...
