Thank you for all your timely replies! I have been worried. We hadn't eaten any of the eggs from the past few days. I was wondering if it was safe. I think I'll let the flock finish the portion in the mixed feed - prbably 2 or 3 days worth and then discontinue feeding them the medicated...

One of my hens had a sucking sound in her throat. Two days ago I found a bag of medicated crumbles. It is called Aureomycin. It says it is for chickens, not chicks. I don't know what my chicken has, but I thought these crumbles would be a good prevention for the whole flock against the...

OK, I just got the bag of crumbles. It is called Aureomycin. It says it is for chickens, not chicks. It is to prevent CRD and air sac infection caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Escherichia coli susceptible to Chlortetracycline - this is the active main ingredient. Other ingredients...

I've been feeding this to my hens for two days now. I've also mixed it into 30 lbs of feed. So, I should throw away all eggs collected the past few days? And throw away all the eggs produced for the next 2 weeks? I sure wish that I'd have checked here before I fed it to my hens! Thank you!

Hi. I have 2 RIRs One is making a wet sucking sound. I can't tell if it's coming from nose or throat. She breathes normally most of the time, but every once in a while she makes this gurgling wet noise. Any idea what she has? Should I quarantine her? I have the 2 1-yo RIR, 6 22-week old...

I am new to raising chickens, but am absolutely addicted! My baby is two, so I needed something to care for! I have 2 RIR hens 1 yo I got them 2 months ago. I just added 6 Red Star 20 week old pullets. The pullets are not laying yet. They are so funny! They needed to be put to bed (the...

I have 2, 1 yo RIR hens that I've had for 3 months. I purchased 6 hens (unseen) last week and was sad to see that their beaks were clipped. I have them in separate henhouses & in separate runs sharing the same fence. They have been observing one another for 1 week. I tried to mix them today...

Okay, crumble or pellet question. I have 2 unclipped beak 1 yo RIR hens and 6 20 week old Red Star pullets (not yet laying) that have clipped beaks. The RS's leave a great deal of the crumble behind. The RIR's snap up everything! I haven't mixed the flocks or this would be no problem - the...

Quote: I'm a total newbie, but I think they completely stop laying during the molting process.

Thank you for all the responses to read here! This is a problem I was having, too! I have 6 new 20 week old Red Star hens (not yet laying) and two 1 yo RIR hens. I will put empty milk jugs in the four nesting boxes at dusk tonight. Can anyone let me know how old a RS pullet is when she...

Beautiful!

Hello. I'm new here and new to raising chickens. We were given 2 RIR hens two months ago and are hooked. We've ordered 6 pullets scheduled to arrive late next week. Now we are on the lookout for a nice rooster! :o)
