    Hen pooped on ducks back

    Thank you for the responses. Actually I was just back to the hen house and the duck looks clean already. All that worry for nothing I guess. I did give them a tiny tub of water and it looks kinda used so perhaps he got in and took a bath. I was just worried about the hen poop "burning" under the...

    hens eating their own eggs

    Aha! I was wondering what to do about this. I've been finding a lot of cracked eggs recently which has really ticked me off 'cause I don't sell them cracked; we eat them ourselves but still it's getting to the point where there are as many cracked as not. I have a small flock of 23 and enough...

    Hen pooped on ducks back

    Okay, so it's -30 here with a wind chill making it -40. To keep all the birdies warm I put my duckies in with my hens. They don't mind, they've spent time together before. But when I was in the hen house making sure everyone had all their needs met, the ducks in their frenzy stood under the...

    Hen pecking Roo's comb!

    What can I put on his comb to stop her from pecking at it? She's not grooming him. She started this afternoon and now there is a tiny red spot; she won't stop! If it gets bloody, they'll all start pecking him. Any suggestions?

    Deep litter method

    What is DE? I use wood shavings and straw. Can hens have hay too? I thought the hay would be bothersome to their intestinal tract. I've been cleaning the hen house out once a week. But now I'm thinking of the deep litter method. Sounds like it should work, especially for cold winter months that...

    Stopped eating, drinking and preferred darkness

    I've just lost two of my girls to something; don't know. They appeared healthy as in no obvious problems. Clean butts, healthy feathers, no discharges. They didn't want to eat or drink though. I brought one in and she would take water from my fingers if I held them to her mouth and take yogurt...

    17 week old barred rock hens bleeding from vent

    Hi Folks, just to let you know that I contacted my provincial vet who gave me a water additive for cocciodosis just in case that was the case. My girls, although, it was difficult to make them drink; I put bread in the water to get them to take the medicine. And, I treated the rest of the flock...

    17 week old barred rock hens bleeding from vent

    Hi Folks. Noted two of my girls were splatting pure blood from the vent instead of feces yesterday (Thursday). I isolated them and got amprolumium from vet to treat in case it's coccidiosis. I'm treating the entire small flock of nine hens/two roos and the 15 pullets expected to mature in...
