I’m in western NC. According to that map, no outbreaks on this end of the state and I haven’t heard of any either. Any other year I wouldn’t second guess coccidiosis but right now just makes you wonder ya know. I got them at TSC… not sure where they get their chicks from. I have 18 others and...

How do I know for sure it’s coccidiosis and not bird flu?

I just gave her two drops. She seems so weak. I feel so bad I didn’t catch it sooner. Hopefully it will work quick…

I’m not sure why I did not think of that. I just checked, the poops are runny and a little bit green. I will get some corid today. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I am not new to chickens but I do have a chick with an issue I have not encountered before so I’m not quite sure what it needs. She is about four weeks old and for the last 4 to 5 days has just been standing with her feathers slightly fluffed out and sleeping more often than not...

Hi everyone! This one is stumping me but I'm still fairly new to chickens so I'm hoping y'all can help. I have a hen, around 18 mos old, that has a swollen breast down to her legs. I know that can happen after a day of eating but I think there's more to this. She also has two fleshy spots, one...

This is all very helpful. I have three roosters to my 17 hens. It seemed like a good ratio for a long time but now I'm not so sure... I didn't consider this could be damage by the roosters so now I think I may need to get rid of one. As far as my broody hen, she does pretty much exactly as you...

Yes the broody hen is in the coop 24/7 even tho she has the option to go out each day as she pleases. She choose she not to. She does lay low in the box, growls and gives the stink eye. She's been doing this for about two weeks now

I hadn't considered that she might be getting picked on... there are three of them out of my 17 hens that look like this. I considered mites but wasn't quite sure what I was looking for...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping you can give me some insight into what might be going on with a few of my chickens. All of my birds are roughly 10 months old. Three of my hens look like they could be molting. However this is my first flock and I have no prior experience with chickens, so this...

I got some nice bands from Tractor Supply, I have them on two of my girls and haven't had the first issue. I did get a size larger than I thought I needed to prevent them from being too tight or getting stuck. So far, so good.

Hello! Forgive me if this topic is covered elsewhere - we have have our chickens since May 2017, they were chicks and have all been raised together. We have 18 hens and 3 roosters. Yesterday, I noticed a particularly aggravated hen spending a lot of time in the nesting box. When I came near to...

Well I joined then went MIA. Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I am excited to be with like minded folks and continue learning how to improve my flock!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, I am new to chickens. We were given 31 chicks at the end of May and it's been an experience and adventure in learning since! Currently down to 26 birds, 12 of which turned out to be roosters. We have two roosters that we are...
