I have a hen and rooster that have been in a pen with each other eating grower pellet, they are about 6 months old. Yesterday I saw the rooster was kind of drawn up. Like he was extending his neck out and he was kind of hunched over and his wings were almost dragging the ground. Brought him in...
You know, I think the one things that everyone is missing is LGD will protect livestock, chickens are not livestock. You will more times than not find a dog that will eventually kill some chickens. My family has ran GP for years with their sheep and they have often drifted over into the...
I have lost 3 birds in 4 days and did not know what was doing it. The birds were just disappearing with no sign. So I set traps around my horse barn for fox and this morning watched two coyotes stalking my Arecaunas. Tomorrow morning I will be ready with my rifle.

Update
I don't think there was a respitory problem, but I don't really know what signs to look for. When I think respitory I think they would be coughing or sneezing and they did none of that.
BUT...
I did start the hens on Tylan 50 for three days and added Teramycin to all of the waterers and...
I am new to the board, so hello! I have about 18 chickens of various breeds and they have a coop in my barn but have free range to come and go as they wish. I recently bought a few chickens from an auction and now a few of my birds have eye issues. The best way to describe it is, it starts out...
