    Sick silkie?

    1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) White silkie, about 9 months old, not sure about weight but does seem a little lighter than the other silkies but I figured because she’s younger? The others are about a year older than her...

    Ivermectin and corrid at the same time?

    I feel awful and recently had one chicken die from coccidiosis in our flock. She and her buddy were 8 weeks old and new additions to our flock of ten chickens. We free range our chickens during the day. They were starting to integrate although pecking did occur occasionally but I tried to keep a...
