    Advice please

    Thanks you, I actually don't mind if they don't lay, as they are more pets than anything else, I was concerned that maybe there was something wrong with them but they all seem happy healthy ect. Xx

    Well I have checked the entire garden and seen no signs of eggs any where, obviously can't guarantee that some other animal isn't stealing them but previously they have always led in the nest box, technically we are still in summer here in the UK but tbh the weather has been rubbish, in terms of...

    Dutch bantums

    I have a small group of Dutch bantams, they currently have a coop and large run, I would love to let them free range like my Silkies, however every time I have tried to let them out they disappear off to the neighbours or the church yard behind our house. I just wondered if anyone had managed to...

    Advice please

    So my silkie hen has gone broody. My husband is fascinated by polish chickens, so my question is this. If I let my silkie hen hatch some polish eggs, obviously she will hatch them and care for them but I have resisted having polish because I’m not convinced our set up is ok for them, we have a...

    Gape worm

    Thanks for the reply, my husband is going to go and get the premedicated food, we used the powder before and mixed it ourselves. Perhaps this little one just didn’t have enough. I am going to speak to the vet again today anyway. X

    Gape worm

    Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about my silkie hen, I thought she may have a mild respiratory infection. I actually took her to the vet yesterday and now have some antibiotics.

    Vetrx

    Thank you, I understand all of this and their coop is squeaky clean and well ventilated. I am aware that it will not cure a respiratory infection but I don’t think that is what she has, having read up about vetrx there is a lot of positive feedback. Unfortunately the vets here either will not...

I have ordered some vetrx to see if this will help clear it up however I wondered what the best way to use is, it seems you can add to water, rub on top of beak...
