Hi all,
I’ll be going out of town and have somebody watching our farm. I noticed today on the poop shelf so clear liquid in two different spots. All droppings looked normal. All chickens are acting normal and eating/drinking well. I have 4 days before I leave- should I treat the whole flock...
Peahen started showing symptoms of illness last Friday (August 1), got her into the vet same day. Fecal sample was clear, exam was clear but her behavior was off, they treated with antibiotic (5 days in water) and anti-inflammatory (5 days orally). She was quarantined the whole time, she's not...
Hi - I have 7 mixed chicks that are 8 weeks old. They just moved outside with their sisters (separated of course). I just found one poo that looks like blood is maybe in it? Just this one and it looks like tomatoes almost but they haven’t eaten anything other than grass, dirt, whatever they...
We have an 8 week old chicken that suddenly became lethargic, wasn't eating/drinking, and was sitting in a corner alone super puffy, away from the flock. We started mixing Corrid in the water incase she had parasites and she instantly got better and was back to normal. We stopped the Corrid...
5 week old Barred Rock. Its been 4 days since she was at the bottom of the coop not responding or moving. I picked her up and she was very cold to touch, lethargic looking and having a difficult time standing, holding up her head. I immediately got a heating pad on her and noticed that she was...
I feel awful and recently had one chicken die from coccidiosis in our flock. She and her buddy were 8 weeks old and new additions to our flock of ten chickens. We free range our chickens during the day. They were starting to integrate although pecking did occur occasionally but I tried to keep a...
Hey everyone,
please take a moment to comment if you have any advice. I’m new to chicks. I have several different breeds from rural king and two from a breeder. The one I’m currently having issues with is a pavlovskaya chick. I thought perhaps it was hot because it seems fluffier than my other...
So as some of know a few months back i bought chicks that were very sick and needed to be treated asap. I took all the measures i needed and treated them and disinfected the coop on a daily basis and they recieved the intial 7 days at full strength and 12 more at half. Everyone has been off the...
I have 5 Serama pullets that I have had for about 3 weeks. I haven't mixed them with the rest of the flock yet. Frankly, I'm a little worried that our weather has been too erratic lately, 40's last night and 60's during the day. So I've been keeping them inside with a 40 watt light at night...
