    Worms?

    Thank you for replying. : ) I was thinking that it might be a cecal worm. Were I to treat them with the wormer that you suggested (in lower doses of course), would I have to stop using my hens' eggs for as long as I am treating them with the wormer?

    Worms?

    Hi everybody! Today I was out in our chicken run and noticed a white thing lounging in one of my bird's fresh poop. Upon closer inspection I observed that it was a worm that was moving slightly. So I picked it up with a stick, put it in a plastic bag, and disposed of it. The worm was about...

    How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens? - OLD

    I've been raising chickens for two years. Our first two were purchased at a local farm event back in 2009. Now we have eight hens of a variety of breeds and one obnoxious, but amusing, rooster.

    Broody hen has runny nose!

    Thanks for the reassurance! I have never had to deal with disease in my flock before, so I was a little more than concerned. She is a Red Star Sex Link. She is the last one of the two original chickens I purchased. Her "sister" was killed by a dog while we were away from home. The dead...

    Broken toe

    My rooster dislocated or broke is toe while being chased by a hostile neighbor dog. It never turned a different color though. I just let it heal on its own. For a day or so he seemed to not want to walk on it. Now it has healed to a certain point, but the toe still points at an odd angle...

    Broody hen has runny nose!

    She just sits in the box without any eggs under her, then when one of the other birds lays an egg she moves and sits on it. I just grab whatever is under her. It seems as if every time we come back home from a trip she has gone broody! I forgot to say her behavior is normal. Because she's...

    What breed is this rooster?

    Thanks everybody for the info and compliments on the roo. I went to have him tested for Avian Influenza earlier this evening, and the young gent picked up compliments there too. Ha! Ha! Ha! I'll probably just enter him in the fair under unknown or mixed.

    What breed is this rooster?

    Hi guys! I am going to enter this rooster in my county fair: I'm not sure what breed he is. I kept calling him a Rhode Island Red, but I know that's not correct. Does anyone know what breed this bird is? Thanks, Anthony

    Pullets with a rooster

    Thanks guys; I appreciate the advice. I think I'm probably just going to wait a week or so more, and then join them together. Both runs are right next to each other, so the little ones and the big ones are fairly comfortable with each other.

    Pullets with a rooster

    Hi everybody! Several months ago we got 5 chicks. We started them out in a brooder box, but it wasn't long before we transferred them outside to live in a bunny hutch with an enclosed run. Well, now they are young pullets, and are definitely outgrowing their hutch and run. I'm really...
