I received my shipment this morning. I received 27 happy healthy chicks. I had ordered 25 plus the free rare exotic chick. And they sent me an extra white leghorn pullet! Yeah! There was no warmer in the box. I had ordered the gro-gel because I was worried about them having a stressful...

Hello, I guess this is where I need to be! My husband told me I had OCD! (That is obsessive Chicken Disorder!) Just because I have 13 hens, 2 roosters, 32 marans chicks, 25 chicks coming from Mcmurray tomorrow, and he found out that I had taken 18 eggs to a guy to have them incubated for me...
Hello,
Chicks came in at my tsc and I bought 6 chicks. The guy that helped me told me that the group P E T A got on tsc for selling them and they now want address and phone number to make sure we aren't going to kill them. Not that I know what good it would do to have my phone number. When I...

UPDATE:
Went to tractor supply and got Tylan 50 and injected my hen. I really hope it helps. I was a little nervous giving her the shot. I also bought her some poultry drench nutrient that is supose to give her a boost. I will wait a few hours and then give her some directly in her mouth...
Will the tylan 50 say how much to inject her with? And what size needle do you use? And where do you inject a chicken? I am a newbie and want to make sure I do it right if I can buy some at tractor supply in the morning! Thanks for all your suggestions. Oh and I guess she probably weighs...
I called Tractor Supply said they didn't have any antibiotics for chickens in stock. Although I did not ask for Tylan 50. Thanks for the heads up on the name I didn't know what exactly what to ask for. I will call them back tomorrow and see if they have any. I live in a very rural area...
Thanks for your replies. I looked in her mouth/throat today. No sign of cankers or gapeworm. She sounds worse today. Not just a cough but raspy breathing. She doesn't shake her head anyomore. I have separated her. I tried finding her some antibiotics today and no one around here had any...
