We've dealt with yucky respiratory stuff the past week and everyone seems to be on the mend after Tylan treatment. However; I have one of my oldest girls who is 3 that seems to just still not be feeling great. I noticed that she is limping a bit and favoring a foot. She's in the past had a...

I’ve got some young chickens (not yet egg layers) dealing with something respiratory. A little sneezing, looks like maybe stuffy nose and labored breathing/crackling. Does anyone know how I should dose them? All antibiotics require Rx now and this is the formulation I have on hand right now. I...

Hello! I've got a conundrum here. We have our newer chickens in their own run/brooder/roosting area that we got in late April and were about to start integrating them with our flock of 3 years. The other day, I went outside to find our Black Copper Maran boy, Mavrick dead. He was young and I was...

Yesterday evening right as it got dark, I walked into our coop to headcount, we we have a new coop my husband just built so we like to head count to make sure no one is still out. I counted only 17 of my laying girls and all the youngins were there. I was missing Dlilah. Our D-low is notoriously...

I have a 3 year old cinnamon queen who has always been a healthy girl. I noticed lately that her feathers just don't look as healthy and they aren't due to our rooster or a molt, as she isn't necessarily losing feathers, they just look "ratty" is the best way I can explain it. Her tail feathers...

I clean our coop really well once a month and my ladies and gents are all free range so they’re only inside for laying eggs and nighttime.I noticed 3 of my girls have lost quite a few feathers and it’s even worse around the head and neck area. Some of the back of my mille and my red and blue...

Hi all! I keep getting conflicting information on this so wanted to ask here and get some actual opinions from people! I didn't vaccinate my last flock of ladies and they all got dry fowl pox with this last rainy and humid summer we had in Texas. They all did fine and healed up. We have 6 week...

We have 14 ladies and 2 roosters. Our roos are about 15 weeks and one of them in particular is very rough and downright harasses our older girls (20 weeks old). They run from him and when he gets on top of one, they scream and normally if the one can’t get away, one or two others will peck him...

I have a chicken that went through fowl pox (dry) and now she’s dealing with the scabs on her head etc. and every time I think they’re healing up, she starts bleeding because she reopens them with her nails Anything I can do? I’m spraying MicrocynAH on her wound areas, but it’s the contact...

We have a cinnamon queen that's 12 weeks old from a batch of chicks that we have had since they were 3 days old. Initially, I just thought she was sort of a loner, but I'm worried enough to think about taking her to the local chicken vet. She stands more hunched than the others, almost like...

One of my few week old chicks has been not feeling great. I treated the new babies we got woth CORID because I noticed a tiny amount of blood in their poop. I was sure that’s what was going on with her, but she isn’t obviously better like the others. I noticed a couple days ago some bubbles...

Our oldest girls are about 8-9 weeks old and we have one that is always calling for the others after she’s left behind. It happens if they’re exploring the yard or if they leave the coop to do so. She’s always the last and calls for them. I know she can see so I’m just curious, what are some...

I’ve been treating the 6 newest of my chicks for Cocoiditis because one of them I believe had it and the rest have kind of followed suit and then perked up after a few days on treatment, but our Brahma boy is keeping loudly and opening his mouth wide. He obviously doesn’t feel wonderful, but...

I have 6 chicks in the brooder right now (2-4 weeks old) and there is one that’s being extremely loud. Constant peeping and louder than the rest. I checked them all up and down and noticed one had pasty butt so I cleaned her up, dried her off and put her back. I thought the problem was solved...

We picked up 6 new chicks from our usual chicken lady and I’m pretty sure one of them isn’t well. They’re all a week old, aside from my 3 week old porcelain d’uccle. She seemed fine yesterday when we got her, but today she’s very sleepy, falling asleep while standing and just very docile. Our...

Ya’ll were so helpful with our little ornery chick situation and by the way, she is best buddies with all the ladies now and everything is harmonious! We’re trying to decide if a rooster is the right choice for us. We are adding new hatches tomorrow to our flock of 8 ladies. I had a scare a...

We are new to chickens and recently got 8 chicks. 7 of them are just over 4 weeks old and they're all different breeds. 1 of them is a Mille Bantam and she's 6 weeks. We got her a couple weeks after we got our first girls and she fit in very well for the first couple weeks and had no issues! We...
