Six little chickens-I actually read that article today. I went out and added straw and wood pellets to the floor of the coop and gave it a good stir to dry up any moisture that may be in there. I also loaded straw into the nesting boxes hoping to insulate more.
In a few days we will be down to...
I can take pics tomorrow. His wattles are discolored around the outside edges, I just don’t want it to get worse. He’s such a sweetheart, but I hate to remove him from his ladies.
Hello, I have a beautiful rooster with a large comb and wattles. It went down to 18 degrees last night, and today I’ve noticed he has a bit of frostbite on the edges of his wattle. His comb looks fine. I’ve recently moved him to a larger coop (Over Easy-large) with 10 hens and him in it. We are...
I had asked over the summer if anyone knew the temperament of these Roos, since I had a surprise roo with my last batch of pullets. I had planned on rehoming him, but it fell through and I decided to keep him as long as he behaved. Attached are pics of my Ed Norton. He is the sweetest roo I’ve...
I ended up with a roo from my pullet purchase. No white dot on his head. After two weeks, he started coming in barred. Crowing at three weeks..... so far he’s a sweetheart n afraid of his own shadow (12 weeks old). Fingers crossed he stays sweet. Any Roos I’ve ever had ended up being jerks.
Hi all! I bought pullets 8 weeks ago from TSC, and ended up with a Midnight Majesty Maran Roo.I was wondering if anyone has a roo of this breed, and what their temperament is. He’s already found his voice, is more aggressive, but his flockmates and I love him.
From what ive read, corid leaves them vitamin deficient, which is how it fights off the bacteria. I guess I’ll wait a few days and see how they are all doing. Violette, my little girl who was sick is doing so much better. The others in just a week, are so much bigger n stronger than she is...
We’ve had the heat wave here too! We’ve had a reprieve the past couple days, but looks like we are in for another heatwave next week. I know what you mean about the “mothering instinct”. I fall deeply in love with them the minute I bring them home....even Ed, lol.
It does take a lot of energy...
Hi, Im new to this forum, but have had chickens for 4 years, and also as a kid. I currently have a mixed flock of 10, plus 4 newbies-4weeks old (Including one surprise rooster, Ed Norton). I’ve read your threads here for awhile when looking for specific information, and have always found the...
I used it for seven days. 1/2 tsp./qt. I had used nutridrench before hand, not knowing how sick she was. She didn’t show much improvement till four days in of corid. Now she’s doing great.
I’ve just treated my newest girls (4 weeks old) with corid, due to one sick chick. I had read somewhere I should follow up with nutridrench but cant remember how long to wait/how long to administer. Also, do you recommend the follow up dose of corid two weeks later For 3 days? I’ve had chickens...
