    Green and yellow diarrhea

    I have a 3 yr old hen with exactly same symptoms. My vet has her on STZ antibiotic but I am not sure it’s helping. All my chickens have constant access to food and water. She just picks at her feed but she will readily eat BSF larvae. I have her isolated from the others just in case.

    What’s your opinion on Mealworms?

    Oh man. I made a mistake on brand of BSFL I use. It’s FLYGRUBS.com. I really like this company. Compare the prices. Read about the company. Really good quality.

    What’s your opinion on Mealworms?

    I toss them 1 cup of BSL every other morning when I let them out in their yard. That ends up roughly 1TBL/bird. They get a helpful amount of protein and calcium from them. They go bonkers over them too. On the off days, they get fermented grains, I just started fermenting last week. It's...

    Official BYC Poll: How Is Your Run Covered?

    I have a 10x20 secure run attached to the coop that is wrapped in hardware cloth and the roof is tin. I let them out into a yard that is fenced deer netting that is also over the top. . I ran 3 strands of electric fence around it. 7'x100' rolls of deer netting from Lowes. We have hawks...

    That's encouraging! Question, if they don't, will my hen remain broody until some chicks do hatch?

    I messed up.

    I’m sick about this but when collecting eggs last night, I brought in 2 marked eggs that are due to hatch in a week. They’ve been sitting on the counter room temp until I got home from work and checked the hens only to find broody only had one marked egg not 3. I put them back under her...

    Advice on treating the face of a "Biter"

    When I had 2 younger roosters who were fighting for cock-of -the- walk, one of them ended up getting all bloodied on his wattle and neck. I couldn't even catch him. He was pretty aggressive toward me (that's another story) but he needed to be treated so I waited until they were well roosted...

    Dominant too vs the other guy.

    Ok. Thanks. If I made a 2’x6’ cafe out of an old table and 1/2” hardware cloth, could I keep them together? They understand their pecking order.

    Dominant too vs the other guy.

    I have 2 roosters to 13 hens. 1 must go eventually. One is dominant, even does the domination dance towards me sometimes. He bosses everyone around. He doesn’t seem to be violent though. The other is non of these things. They are 4 months old. Which one should I keep?

    Thank you. Good info on the roosters. I will watch for any tell tale signs that one will be more caring of his girls.

    13 hens, 2 roosters.

    Thanks Mary. I appreciate your detailed reply. Do you think I need to wait to decide which one to keep or just pick one? Your discription of humanpuoltry relationship sounds just right. I don’t want pet roosters but I want nice respectful roosters. Or a rooster. I was feeding them to get them...
