I was talking to one of my neighbors last night about getting it checked out. She wasn't aware of any place I could take it. I have several other neighbors with chickens, so will ask around. We're still iced in today, and will probably be here another day or two. So I won't be able to get...

My neighbor had sulmet (we're iced in today), so that's what I went with. :-)

Should I treat them for coccidiosis and worm them at the same time? Seems I've read before to do one or the other?

Three weeks ago, we lost a 1 1/2 yr. old hen. My husband noticed one evening she looked a little sickly, but it was dark and she had already settled into the coop for the night so weren't sure. He said she looked like a hen would look if it had the flu. She died the next day before I could do...

We have had a few of our hens get broody in the past even though we do not have any roosters. They usually sit on some eggs (non-fertilized) and we just kick them out of the nesting box a couple of times a day and after a week or so they move on. However, I have a Buff that has been sitting in...

Right now we have 4 americaunas, 5 speckled sussex, and 5 black australorps that are almost one years old. We inherited a dominique from a neighbor about 3 weeks ago. Our most recent additions are 4 red sex links and 4 white wyandottes (about 5 weeks old), 2 buff orpingtons (about 2 weeks...

We are not far from you over in Denton.

I live on 2 acres in TX, so they will be out of the coop all summer wandering all over the property except for sleeping and laying. We have no predator problems, so their coops stay open 24/7. The coops have a wire bottom, so some of their poo falls right through to the ground, and the rest is...

The door to the coops stay open, so that wouldn't be an issue. As it is right now, our 15 hens aren't committed to either coop. Some nights we go out there and 13 of them are in one coop and only two in the other. But then the next night there will be 7 in one and 8 in the other. They also...

Is one coop that measures 4x4x4 with three roosts and four nesting boxes large enough for 15 hens? They free range all day. We actually are currently using two of these coops, but need one for our chicks.

We have 14 hens and I really don't know which one is at the top of the pecking order. None of them have ever been overly aggressive...just little things here and there. We just love how well our flock gets along. We have no rooster. They free range all day. We received a new hen from a...

Thanks for your reply! We were just using a regular bulb, but we decided to go ahead and remove that. I think I've about decided that they are just bored. The bottom of their brooder is wire, so they have nothing to scratch around in and spend most of their time just sitting (or pecking one...

We have 8 chicks...4 white wyandottes and 4 red sex links...that are about 4 weeks old. I noticed today that the tail feathers coming in on the wyandottes are red and a little bloody. They are in a 6x2 brooder. Should I try and put Pick No More on the wyandottes? Is it possible they need...

We have 14 hens, 4 are EE's. Two of the EE's had fluffy feathers under their chins (so much so that my kids named one of them "Beard-y"). About a month ago, both of them started losing those feathers. And now they both are missing feathers on their back right before the tail. No rooster...

Thank you so much...you just made my day! :)

Our chickens are almost 8 months old (14 of them). I had one that started having runny poo, but no other symptoms. I cleaned her backside up (it was a mess) and put Sav-a-Chick in their water for the last two days...just to give her a boost. My questions is, can we eat their eggs while...

We have 15 hens and 2 roosters that have been in side by side runs since we got them back in June. They are all 6 months old. We built them one larger run yesterday since we are now ready to have them altogether. As expected, the two roosters didn't play well together. One is an EE and the...

Thanks! We were suspicious, but he doesn't act like our other EE rooster. The white one is quite aggressive and mean to the hens. Guess we'll be finding him a new home, much to the sadness of our youngest daughter.
