    Looking for new waterer

    I have a metal double wall waterer Little Giant 2 gallon. Although only a month or two old I’m already seeing black patches on the interior base. I’ve researched plastic waterers and seen lots of complaints about leakage. I tried the cups system / they get slimy and hens didn’t like them...

    What breed might thisbe?

    This hen was gifted to me with no background details. Any ideas? She’s not laying so don’t have any egg color to consider. Age is also a mystery. Thank you.

    Alternative feed to Scratch & Peck organic layer feed

    Thank you / I want to support my local feed store rather than use major corporations in this instance. The feed you suggest sounds like a good alternative - I’ll check with my store to see if they know about it. Thank you for responding.

    Alternative feed to Scratch & Peck organic layer feed

    I’ve always been a big fan of the organic Scratch & Peck layer feed. I typically buy in 25lb bags from my small local feed store - I can manage to carry them and they fit my limited storage. Now, however , the manufacturers have decided to only make that size bag available from Chewy and...

    Monique, Belvedere and Silky crosses.

    I have the chance to buy two young hens - Belvedere/silky cross and a Monique /silky cross. They are being hand raised. My research tells me that both the Belvedere and the Monique tend to be broody and silkies are really broody! Anyone had these types of crosses or can give me advice on what...

    Black scab on 2 year old Welsummer

    In mid-November she suddenly couldn’t walk and I had to carry her about to move her. She got Antibiotics and vitamin b12 - also took her to an animal chiropractor! And she gradually regained the use of her legs. However she roosted one night which I thought was ambitious on her part and in the...

    Black scab on 2 year old Welsummer

    Thank you! She is currently sleeping on hay at night as she’s not able to roost for long periods. That is probably why she’s getting cecal poop on her legs.

    Black scab on 2 year old Welsummer

    Just noticed this black discoloration/scab? on my hen’s right leg. I check them daily but didn’t notice this previously. It almost looks burnt. Any thoughts? The other two hens are fine with no apparent discoloration. Thank you for any suggestions.

    2 year old Welsummer legs not working

    I misspoke - it was actually the vet at the state of California department of agriculture where they deal with avian health. They will euthanize sick chickens and conduct necropsies to monitor any virus spread. They were very helpful. Good luck with your search.

    2 year old Welsummer legs not working

    Update - just over 4 weeks since Poppy couldn’t walk. Since then she’s had vitamin B and daily favorite treats as well as a visit to an animal chiropractor who works primarily on dogs as well as horses. I think the stimulation to her nervous system might have helped because she was noticeably...

    2 year old Welsummer legs not working

    Thank you - she is eating and her energy is good. She is not lethargic or looking miserable, which I am taking as a good sign. Have been in touch with the state vet - she was very helpful - and plan on a necropsy if it comes to that. They will also euthanize for a very reduced fee. One thing I...
