Hello there! I've been trying to track down some peachicks since last summer and have had no luck locally! Somehow I randomly stumbled across you and see that you are actually in my area! Both myself and my neighbor have been hunting for peachicks. Any chance you have some babies you still...
For some reason I cannot find local peachicks for sale! I've been in the market for over a year now. I'm willing to take a day trip to pick them up. I've looked in OR, WA, UT, CA and can't find a hatchery with chicks. ☹️ I looked into shipping them from far away, but can't justify a $45-50...
Hmmmm I was thinking about the possibility of infection because of the color. I did read not to take too much at once or she could go into shock so that makes sense. I wish they would let us buy some IV fluid bags. Its terrible to say but I also REALLY wish they would let us buy whatever magic...
I'm dealing with a very unwell black Sex Link hen. I don't know her exact age but I'm sure she's up there in bird years. She used to be an amazing layer but it's probably been at least a year since she has laid. Our chickens are our pets and egg production is not a requirement to live.
She has...
Ive never even heard of that until right now. Ive had chickens for about 10 years now and I've been mostly hands off with them. I've only ever given them treats. Never any meds or supplements. They have all been self sufficient and healthy. At the end of last summer I purchased some dichotomous...
I absolutely HATE the super worms but the chickens LOVE them. I only got them once and the second time was through Amazon. They were very well packed but somehow they got out and my mailbox was full of them! It was terrifying.
When I got home today I didn't really feel like her food was picked...
Sorry its taken some time to get back on here. I checked her crop before I left this morning and it was not as full as it was last night (10 hours later). It was still a bit gritty but dont they always have some rocks in there and such? I left her quarantined in my house with food and water for...
So its 9pm, I just got home scooped her up and rather than putting her on the roost I drug her back in the house. I feel like she had the most clucks shes had for me in the last couple of weeks but I was also trying to mess with her more. I also kind of think her comb/waddles are pinker than...
If it won't hurt to treat them I may as well just do it. I've had chickens for 6-7 years and this is the first issue I've had. I assume I can get Ivermectin from my local feed store? Is that something that goes in their water? Or am I going to have to tackle 16 birds and shove it down their...
I wondered that but we aren't very "hands on" with the flock so I didn't really know what I was doing. And then I figured if she had something like that at least one other bird in the flock would be sick. Right?? I will try to look again tonight. Its difficult because I'm gone from the house for...
I have a hen who started acting funny a couple of weeks ago. She moves much slower than the rest of the flock and stopped roosting at night. I keep finding her on the floor of the coop so every night I go scoop her up and put her with the rest. Most of the day she just stands by a wall or...
