    Drooping comb and won’t eat or drink

    Here are some pics of her and her poop. It’s just watery with a bit of yellow. I felt around everywhere and she feels normal. She doesn’t have a crop, which Im pretty sure is normal for a chicken that won’t eat but if it’s not let me know. She made a squeak when I picked her up but then she...

    Drooping comb and won’t eat or drink

    Her crop felt normal and I haven’t seen her poop yet but he backside is extremely clean so I don’t think it would be messy but I’ll keep an eye on it. I appreciate your insight, I mainly wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything or wasn’t doing anything I should. Im not sure the last time...

    Drooping comb and won’t eat or drink

    Last night when I was putting my flock away I noticed one of our Rhode Island reds was acting funny and had a dropped crown. She had what looked like sweat on her face and neck and was panting heavily. It’s been very hot here recently and she has just turned 5 years old, so I’m not exactly sure...

Here is a picture of her, I set her down by the water and she stood up while drinking. The other picture is from her back tailfeathers. I dont...

    Acting strange, cant walk

    Yesterday one of our hens didnt come over for treats and I found he sitting down panting. It was 97 degrees yesterday and just as hot today so I assumed it was heat related and brought her inside and gave he time to cool off. Shes back out now and seems to be limping around and sitting down...

    Gasping hen

    I have a hen that at night she makes loud noises like gasps. She doesnt do it during the day that I know of but I hear it putting them away at night. She just started laying eggs. Any idea what it could be?

    Mites?

    Will regular dust from regular dirt work or does it have to be the permethrin dust?

    Mites?

    Ok sounds good I'll do that, I used some elector psp and sprayed the hen and the coop a bit, does that work at all with lice?

    Mites?

    I noticed these above one of my hens butts today. Shes been having a messy bottom and we recently lost a hen to flystrike so I've been checking her alot to make sure that wont happen. I think these are mites, which is better than maggots. How do I get rid of them? I know elector psp can work...

    Introducing a flock to another

    We are introducing a flock of adults, 5 hens and one australorp rooster to our flock of 2 buff orpingtons, 2 reds, and a well summer. Our chickens seem hostile and three of them fought with the big rooster. The rooster didnt start the fight but he participated in it. It ended quickly all three...

    Is it safe?

    Ok sounds good, we are twisting wire around some of it and using the zip ties for up higher but I'll probably in the future use the metal wires around everything, but if it's good in the short term then it will work for now. Thanks for the input

    Is it safe?

    a little over a week ago we had a fox show up and kill 7 of our 14 chickens. They were outside in their run and it happened past 7 in the morning which was a surprise. We had chickens for 3 years with no problems like this and it really was hard to deal with. The original run wasnt covered and...

    Chick food and adult food

    So what I've done is put the chick food outside with some oyster shells because the chicks spend all day outside, and put adult layer in the coop for the adults who go in and lay eggs. I feel like that's working out but I found poop in the coop this morning and I'm pretty sure it was from a...

    Chick food and adult food

    Ok thank you, what low calcium feed do you reccomend? I'm using the food the chicks have had since they were born, when does that change and should it? Thanks

    Chick food and adult food

    Were introducing 7 week old chicks to the flock, but I'm not sure how to feed both because both old and young chickens have access to food. Right now were going to take out the layer feed the others use and put just chick food. I know that's not the best for older chickens but it is just...
