Ok, I think I've got the plan. Get him a new hobby because he really spends most of his time supporting our kids in their hobbies (sports), use the flirty eyelashes and then only bring home new chicks when I can get him something for his yet-to-be-designated hobby on my way home. I did use the...

About 5 years ago, I asked my husband what he thought about getting chickens and the answer was "No Way!" Well I had only been thinking about the possibility of getting chickens until he actually said No. Then I had to have them. After a few hours of explaining why it would be such a great...

Thanks for the comments. I did look around on "broody" to get some ideas. I had no idea what a behavior change it was. I thought it just meant that she didn't want to leave her eggs. I had never heard of the puffiness and growling! It was spot on. I've had her locked up in the rabbit hutch...

So how do I keep her safe at night? Do I put her eggs in the dog crate so that she will at least be in a place that I can lock her up at night? We don't have a rooster so her eggs will not hatch. Do I just leave her sitting on them and maybe take a few out here and there? And then will she...

If they are drinking and eating, that's a great sign I have to go to the feed store today and I'm just praying they don't have any silkies that are too cute to pass up. I've always wanted one and no one wants to go with me. I will be good though just because we are in chicken drama central...

I don't think you need to treat the older hens. I had a similar problem with my younger chicks. The key is to make sure the chicks are actually ingesting the Sulmet. Mine were to the point of not drinking at all because it took me two days to get the Sulmet. The two that were just at the...

I need some help trying to figure this one out. I have 4 girls that have been together since day 1. 2 Polish and 2 Wyandottes. They've been together for the last 2 years. They free range during the day and go in and out of the raised coop for food and nesting boxes. For the last week and a...

Been able to get them to drink by dipping their beaks but they sure get mad at me. Not eating great but no more bloody poop and they are still getting up and walking around when I come in. Had to go to work today so I'm nervous but hopeful. Can you get Corid without a vet? None of the...

we tried to put a little water to her break and dip her beak but she wont drink. other chickens are doing good now but the sickest wont drink he water with the medicine and is still very sick

we bought something to day to force water into their mouth but i dont want to hurt them

Three of the chickens seem fine and are drinking the water with the medicine but the one chick with the worst poop and the most tired one is not drinking or taking any of the medicine. i am very worried

How long does it take to work? I went to the other feed store this morning and they only had the Sulmet. I was really hoping to use the Corid based on what I could find on line. Can't find a vet with it though so I will just use the Sulmet. Just wondering if anyone knows how soon I would...

Off to the feed store, hope they have what i need:/

When i woke up this morning, they were all asleep and looking very tired but now they are up and moving a little more but feed store doesn't open until 9 i hope they can make it!

I forgot to reply the older flock is about a year old but they are separated. I will have to find some Corid in the morning and I will treat all of them. I just hope tomorrow's not too late. I'm not going to sleep at all tonight.

Is there anything I can do until the morning when something opens? Will yogurt or DE help until tomorrow? Anything?

Feed store didn't have corid. They said to give them Duramycin-10. Will this work? Not other stores are open.

I have four chicks all 8 weeks old. My two polish have bloody poops, one much worse than the other. The two Wyandottes have normal poops but much less active than usual. I started putting them outside about a week ago for several hours in a small pen since the weather has been so nice. Based...
