I have a 9 yo hen with a cold. She has bubbles in her eyes and coughs. I gave her 1.5 cc LA200 on Monday and a second dose today. If she doesn't improve, should I start dose again? TY

No. Sorry

Mixed breeds such as black copper maran, black australorp, easter egger, dominique, buckeye, Wyandotte. I didn't think the roo going away contributed to the stop in laying it was just weird how it coincided with each other. Hopefully once this weather breaks they'll start up again.

Hi. My hens ages ranging g from 4 yrs to 2 yrs are not laying at all except for 1 maybe every other day. They haven't laid since August when I took the rooster away. He was mean. Any ideas?

Did anyone ever through a bold banty roo into a coop with all standard sized hens?

We gave all of the predators you listed. But which one leaves bones only. This was all in a matter of 24 hours. Carcass found in the woods

My 1 yr old black copper maran attacks my ankles and feet when I walk to the coop I have a few scratches from him. Is this aggressive or normal rooster behavior?

That's so creepy but I knew the answer to my question before I even posted it.

Will a rooster grow up and try to mate with its mother?

From what I have read some hatcheries do use this method and I know it is more likely an old wives tale. However for those of us who enjoy the suspense and gathering our own data, it is fun.

Anyone out there have experience with feather sexing? If so what do u think this might be?

The sisters do get along and the roo is docile and doesn't bother with the girls. Both hens seem comfortable in their present setting. Just wondering about the chick's when they hatch.

I have 2 Brahma banty sisters laying on eggs in the same next box. The only other chicken in the coop is a little banty roo. Do you think I need to remove the hens before hatching? First time for me thanks

Thank you all for your replies. I feel better about being eggless. Thank you. As for the 2 girls hanging out in the coop, I did see them out in the run today. But, I also did notice that they stayed away from the roo. It seemed like they were walking on egg shells when near him. In the...
