    Hen-pecked rooster solution needed

    Yes, that is Little Red, a Serama bantam rooster. He is very tame. Unfortunately I have 6 more roosters than hens, and housing costs are getting ridiculous. Right now I have 57 chickens and 23 houses. That is still not enough houses to separate all the roosters. When the little ones fight, the...

    Hen-pecked rooster solution needed

    My non-aggressive Welsummer rooster molted his tail feathers, and the hens are worrying him sick. Will Blue Coat stop them, or is there another solution since I have no safe place to put him separately other than a dog crate?

    When you have 23 separate coops and still need more in order to separate all the roosters. When you go to extraordinary lengths to save a sick rooster who is crop bound including administering an enema. When you can identify each rooster by his crow. When you know all 59 of your chickens'...

    LOL! Topcat 40. I gave her a little mineral oil just to get her to poop at all.

    Smallflock 3, I just read your post and I want to thank you for all the good information. Now I feel better about my hen not roosting yet! I'm looking forward to making my own Calciboost!

    Post egg bound chicken not doing well

    I only wormed twice a year when I was using Ivomec. The VermX is all natural and was only recently approved for use in the U.S. It has been used in the U.K for a long time successfully. It is, however, a monthly thing. I was impressed that it is safe to eat the eggs all the time. With Ivomec I...

    Thanks. I will look into the Calciboost and do some more research on feed. What do you know about when to stop calcium in older hens. I read that once they stop laying, even the layer feed can cause kidney damage. My Buff Orpington hen is four years old. Before I acquired the Welsummer hen who...

    Try Poly Visol liquid vitamins, electrolytes, and yogurt. I think that's what is helping my little Serama. Best wishes with your leghorn.

    Post egg bound chicken not doing well

    Is rooster booster OK for hens, too? I have seen that online before. Have you used VermX for worming? I hope it is effective! You don't have to miss eating any eggs with this product. It is an all natural liquid that goes in their water once a month. I switched to it this spring. I have to dust...

    Thank you for your kind encouragement. Maybe someone else will know about acetaminophen. How is your leghorn today?

    Post egg bound chicken not doing well

    My exhibition Buff Orpington hen who had not laid in over a year laid about 6 eggs so far this year after I introduced a Welsummer hen and 3 Rhode Island Red pullets to the flock. I thought she was sick yesterday as she stayed on an empty nest all day except when I forced her off to see if she...

    Post egg bound chicken not doing well

    She wasn't much better this morning when I left for Bible study, but when I got home this afternoon, she was almost back to normal. Before I left home, I put her back in the pen with her babies, and she scooted to a shady corner. All her chicks stopped what they were doing and laid down beside...

    Post egg bound chicken not doing well

    My little Serama mother of seven chicks who are 5 weeks old was egg bound this morning. I soaked her in warm water and helped her successfully pass the egg which was hard shelled and intact. Later today she was able to walk around a bit and eat, but this evening she did not get on the roost. She...
