    Ok thanks for the reply! I was wondering if the apron was the catalyst for the bullying. Makes sense i suppose.

    To wash or not to wash eggs? That is the ?

    I have found if I keep up on clean nesting material in the boxes & daily collection it really cuts down on dirty eggs. BUT sometimes they just get poopy. If they are really bad I pitch them. If its a spot or two I use a Scott's green scrubby to dry buff the "dirt" off. I have heard of using...

    Bullying?

    I have a chicken - the smallest in my flock - who I think is either the roo's favorite or is being bullied. Her feathers look terrible and she has skin showing on the "shoulder" of her wings. No broken skin. She has a lot of energy and is eating & drinking as far as I can tell. I have 20...

    Chickens losing weight!! Breast bones protruding!!

    I don't think so... Its hard to tell. I had to work the last couple days 12 hour shifts. I'll watch them more closely tomorrow. I'm most concerned about the Hen Boost electrolytes / vitamins tuning the water green! Like neon green.

    Chickens losing weight!! Breast bones protruding!!

    So, I have given them wazine17 and followed that with Hen Boost in the next batch of water. The Hen boost turned the water bright green!! Was I not supposed to put it in a metal waterer?? The package didn't say anything about this. I am feeding them 1/2 & 1/2 regular layer feed & higher...

    Chickens losing weight!! Breast bones protruding!!

    Thank you for the reply! I feed them Purina Layena pellets. Not rancid. This is my first time with flick problems so I’m only basing my thoughts about worms / worm load off what I’ve been reading. I’m going to give them Wazine17 today along with some probiotics/enzymes from Hen Boost.

    Chickens losing weight!! Breast bones protruding!!
