Hello! Yes, I know it's not as effective. Yes, I know it's best to give it to them individually. The issue is, it takes me about 2-3 hours to dose all of my birds and it is took me three 125-mL bottles for one dose and that is just not financially feasible. That, and I aspirated my rooster, my...

my older hen, henrietta (approx 8/9 years old), has been acting a bit strange. her head will softly sway forward and back, she’s having issues understanding depth or where treats are. if i’m holding a peach, she will recognize it is a treat, but peck all the way around until she eventually gets...

I have become overwhelmed by the amount of birds I have with with scabs on their feet. Most of the scabs are small, like the head of one of those fabric pins? The ones with the colorful heads? I recently attempted to remove the scab and look for a core...but there's no core? There's no cheesy...

Hi I have a one year old barnevelder hen who has been suffering with lethargy for a few weeks now. At first I thought it was dehydration (it had got really warm), and then I thought worms. I’ve been deworming her for 5 days now and she has only got worse. Her poop is a dark green with yellow...

just picked up 2-year old turkeys and want to make sure they’re ok. i got a male and a female and the female seemed particularly freaked out. i know blackhead disease could have yellow poo as a symptom...so i’m wanting to see if that’s what this is.

Hey! I somehow managed to convince my mom that our homestead would be much improved by some turkeys--and she loves the look of red bourbons. I want a tom and two hens, and through some of my research, it seems like they would be fine in a trio. HOWEVER, I may be purchasing adults here soon-...

Saw this white patch on my RIR hen. Is it fungus or something else?

hey y’all! was hoping you could identify my bird, blanche! she’s just recovered from a MAJOR scaly mites infestation, and it leads me to be so confused. she has feathers on her feet, which is quite confusing since i thought she may be a rhode island white. i don’t think she’s a cochin; the...

Found mites/lice on my birds and I read that Martin’s is good, but my local TSC only has Manna Pro. Are they comparable? Is it just as good?

hey guys! so it’s been raining a lot here. i was just about to leave with my fiancé to get some fencing and i decided to say goodbye to the birds and saw WORMS in the feces (pic below). I have the Chicken Health Handbook, so i know that it’s treatable with dewormers and i’m pretty sure it’s...

Hey y’all! I have an almost 4 month old rooster named Caspar. I believe he’s a blue wheatan maran and a wyandotte mix. I thought he was a female up until the 2nd or 3rd month. The issue is, he just started crowing and now he seems very cautious of me. We have another rooster, he’s about the...

I have chicks from 7-9 weeks and one of my speckled sussex pullets passed away recently. I found a guy about an hour away selling chicks that are 7 weeks. He doesn’t want to sell me just one, which I understand, but I have 14 chicks at home and 9 older hens and 3 ducks. My fiancé and mother have...

I had one of my pullets, Betsy, pass away this week. I’m interested in “replacing” her, even though I hate that concept. My birds are like my babies! Thank you.

Hey! One of my pullets recently died while I was treating her for coccidiosis. No other pullets exhibited this behavior. I’m interested in purchasing a speckled sussex to “replace” her. Although I am heartbroken by my loss of Betsy, I really would love to have a speckled sussex in my flock. I...

hey guys i have a small speckled sussex pullet and i think she may be exhibiting wry neck? should i treat her with as much as an adult? she’s really lethargic and scrunched up. she’s really sleepy and stands still for a long time. i always thought of wry neck as more violent but maybe hers is...

Hey yall. Im a little concerned about of my little chicks. Shes almost 2 months old. Shes a calm girl, always has been. On the easier side to pick up. The last few days now Ive started to notice that shes even more lethargic than usual. Just yesterday I saw her stand with her eyes closed for...

I ordered 7 chicks from Ideal Poultry and received 20, 13 males. One pullet wasn’t really running around with the others so I separated her. I made the wrong decision and put another pullet with her for company. The pullet wouldn’t walk and just sat there, like she was asleep but she was awake...

Hey y’all. So I ordered 7 pullets from Ideal Poultry hatchery and idiotically chose to have them send some males to keep them warm. Silly me didn’t know the box fits 25 birds - I thought they’d send like max 5 males. I got 13. I know it’s their policy and I could have checked no, so there’s...

Hey guys! I have an older hen who is a red comet. She’s about 5 or 6 years old... I’m not too sure. But she was recently molting, poor thing, and of course during the cold. I’m aware that she has frostbite on her comb, and she has an impacted crop. Another hen has feet lice and was wondering if...

I’ve been looking to get 5 new chickens since early Fall, and I’ve been mulling over this decision for what to get! I have a local seller of chicks - 30 minutes away - that only sells about 15 breeds. They’re all pretty standard. I talked with my mom and fiancé and we finalized our list! The “/“...
