    Dead Hen - Do I worry about the others?

    She was weak, lost weight, pale comb - I did give her a de-wormer yesterday but obviously it was too late. I will treat all hens now. From what I've been reading, it's better to just treat routinely. Right?

    Dead Hen - Do I worry about the others?

    How do I know if she really had worms? or not. I am just guessing here.

    Dead Hen - Do I worry about the others?

    We had a chicken die tonight - I "think" due to worms - by the time I realized what was ailing her - it was too late. I did give her dewormer, but again, too late. Anyway, she was separate from the other girls for a couple of days. The other girls aren't showing any signs - but do I treat...

    Lethargic, poopy butt, hen w/ tail down

    I've tried to check her vent for maggots but she keeps getting away from me - good I think because she is moving faster. She ate the watermelon and her tail is up today. It's also 20 degrees cooler today. I'll check her crop and vent tonight when she gets in the coop. The 8 other birds...

    Thanks for all the great advice! I'll get her some watermelon and ice for the waterer, check her for crop, and check her vent for maggots!

    Lethargic, poopy butt, hen w/ tail down

    I noticed yesterday that my 1 year old Americauna is quite lethargic, she has a poopy butt, is not eating a lot, and has her tail down. I don't think she is laying. I did think she was broody the other day because she would not get out of the nest, but now that she's acting different, I'm not...

    Bloody when laying?

    Yes it is blood on the outside. I'm thinking it's okay, but wanted to check.

    Bloody when laying?

    I've had a few eggs from some newly adopted girls - that have had blood on them. Is this normal? Should I be worried about the eggs? or the hens?

    Introducing Flocks

    Will they be able to co-exist in the same coop? or will I need to build a separate coop?

    Introducing Flocks

    A week ago, I lost 6 of my girls to a fox - which left me with 4 bantams. Having raised these girls from chicks, I do not want to get rid of them. (Before the fox issue - I was getting 9 eggs a day ... now I'm getting 1 egg a day.) I didn't really want to start with chicks again, so I looked...

    Eggs Safe?

    I'm new here and I need some help! I applied Blu- Kote to some of my hens because they were pecking each other. THEN I read something about not using it on animals for food production. Can someone tell me if it's safe to eat the eggs?

    Blu-Kote Safe for Egg Layers?

    I had some chickens getting pecked, so I sprayed Blu-Kote on them. Then I noticed the warning - that it is to not be sprayed on animals that produce food. Does this mean I shouldn't eat the eggs?
