    Our rural king in kendalville is disgusting. And full of lazy people. I hate more than anything to see chicks with pasty butt. Out of all their chicks I would say a good 65% had quite a bit of buildup. I asked if anyone was in charge of taking care of the chicks. NO ONE knew what the heck was...

    A lot of people think that tilling with a tiller is a great thing. Yes it makes the soil nice and pretty and easier to plant in, but it also brings up weed seeds. The best way I have found to keep weeds out and have awesome soil is to mulch. I get the tree company to drop off a few loads right...

    Well I'm sad to say my last silkie has died. I have sent the last two birds off for necropsy to Purdue. I am awaiting results. I am just at a loss and it makes me so sad. To my knowledge it started with coccidiosis and has gone downhill from there. I've been fighting an uphill battle. And of...

    Thank you all for the advice. I think the bird may have been too injured. It passed this morning. My friend also had two others that didn't return home. I wish people would keep better containment on their dogs. Especially since this is a repeat issue with their neighbor. she said they only...

    Anyone here raise guineas? I ask because a friend had one of her keets attacked by the neighbor dogs. So we are trying to figure out what to do about the injury. Do we treat it just like a chicken injury? Here is the info I have: It has some meat taken out is a way to describe it. It's still...

    Okay...just spoke with the vet! She said that the test came back with nothing other than a low number for coccidia. So I am going to focus on pushing the vitamins, eggs, I am going to give them some raw meat here shortly. She did mention that she found that it is possible that Aloe Vera...

    Update: We called to check on the status of the poop samples. Husband only spoke with a receptionist...she said that they did still find SOME coccidiosis in their poo..now waiting on a call from the vet! ETA: This possibly explains that it may only be the nutrients vitamin def.

    @chickrookie I noticed changed within 24 hours when I started treating mine. If they were sort of lifeless in the corner, unfortunately those chicks died. I did turn on the heat light for them and they seemed to like that. If you end up with the same aftermath as I am, hopefully I will...
