    WHAT IS THIS? She’s so swollen

    (Her feathers are trimmed only below her vent), the rest is just kind of naked. This is after a bath. I’m assuming she’s got an infection… she has had diarrhea for a a long time with undigested bits. I treated her topically for vent gleet which seems to be gone but she still has all of this...

    Odd poop slurry

    I used 1.5ml of safeguard goat dewormer for half a gallon of water for 3 days (my 3 hens were all treated). Our cat had been diagnosed with tapeworm about six months ago so they’ve been treated a couple of times. We used this dewormer because it treats most types of worms including tapeworm...

    Odd poop slurry

    Hi guys! This is a strange question. I have a faverolle and she has been pooping like this for more than a year. I’ve treated her for worms, we did figure out we had some mites and they are gone, she’s currently on the fourth day of treatment for vent gleet after the mites gave her that. But her...

    introducing new chicks (three weeks apart in age)

    UPDATE: So, last night I went to check on the chickens in the coop after dark to see how the three that were left were doing while Pancit was isolated on the porch and since the other three were snuggled up together in the coop getting along great and keeping each other company, I dicided to get...

    introducing new chicks (three weeks apart in age)

    It's small but I have added many hiding spots. They do fine during the day when they are in the yard but when confined the older two gang up on the younger ones. Especially my flighty faverolle. I have two feed areas and waterers. and I try to let them work it out.

    introducing new chicks (three weeks apart in age)

    I already moved the Barred out of the coop... Temporarily and the other older pullet got lonely and started hanging out with the littles... So I'm going to wait one more day to let the other one get used to them and then let my BR back in so she's the new one... The others older chick had...

    introducing new chicks (three weeks apart in age)

    I have a trouble maker barred Rock mix that keeps chasing my faverolle and pecking her and she gets the other one started now too. I moved her out temporarily but I'm not sure how long to separate and if I can still let them free range together some of the day or if she needs to be seperate then...

    How long to separate?

    I'm attempting to move two chicks in with some older chicks 4 and 7 weeks old... And my barred Rock mix is aggressive and a bad influence on my other older pullet. They are terrorizing my salmon faverolle. She's an easy target. They mostly leave the Rhode island red alone. I moved the bad Apple...

    New chicken owner - first coop. Advice?

    Thanks. Can you show me pictures of what you are talking about? I was thinking about adding some plywood/masonite panels around the bottom of the cage when it gets to be hurricaine season. but I don't understand how you would attach it? or make some kind of slide system? (like one piece of wood...

    New chicken owner - first coop. Advice?

    Thank you :) no more heat lamp! I won't use one in the winter either. I'm still covering up drafty spots in the coop with some door draft blockers but that's about all I will do.
