Thank you! I hope that's the case!

Hi, my daughter and I have 4 chickens-an EE, a barred rock, a buff orp, and a RIR. All but the EE started laying eggs in June/July and were laying for a couple of months. We live in Central Florida, and as the temps rose, they slowed egg production quite a bit. Then the EE started laying (I know...

Thank you!

Thank you!

Realized today when I checked the spray we have that it is permethrin and we have been using it. Any suggestions as to how often we should spray it? I have also used DE sprinkled around the coop but not sure if that helps or not. We do have a red ant problem out there right now. I don’t think...

I wasn’t able to try the Benadryl until this afternoon but when i went out to the coop to give it to Willow, the swelling had gone down and the lump was only about half its original size. I had a hard time getting her to take to pill (in a grape) and I’m not sure she got it all. Will see how she...

The lump does look bluish as you can see from the pictures. Does the comb look normal to you?

Thank you! We will have to check for ticks tomorrow when it’s brighter outside. I will look into getting the spray. Do I need to be concerned that she may have a tick-borne disease already? Are her eggs safe to eat? All 4 chickens are laying brown eggs so not even sure which are hers.

How do you give a chicken a pill? Thanks.

Hi everyone-We have 4 chickens that are about 6 months old. We have an Ameracauna, a barred rock, a buff orpington, and a RIR. They started laying eggs about a month ago. Today, the Ameracauna-named Willow-developed a golf ball-sized lump below her right ear. It was not there yesterday. Her...

If I knew the exact age of the white one, this would be easier. I see streamers on the head and the wattles are quite large but the comb is smaller and she is much lighter and smaller than the other one. I had them in cages next to each other last night and they slept in the corners as close to...

The jury is still out on the white one, who I have named Dollie. Sage, the dark one, who was sage-colored as a chick, is definitely a cockerel...crowing all morning. I have to re-home her. Thanks for all the help! :(

You are right! Crowing like a madman this morning. Thank you.

Well, you are correct! Sage the dark silkie is a cockerel!! He was crowing like crazy this morning and LOUD. I will have to re-home him. Thank you for your help!

I sure hope so, thanks!

Because of the wattles and comb or...?? Any thoughts on the white one?

I posted earlier about my 14 week old silkie who could very well be a boy. This is a second silkie...same question. She is slightly damp in the pictures because i tried to wash her feet off. I got this one today as a trade for my polish cockerel that I had to re-home. They think this white...

Can you tell me what you see that means cockerel? Trying to learn. Thanks!
