Wow! Thank you for the follow-up inquiry 😊. Knowing that people here care really warms my heart.
The chickens are all “good!” I treated them for 5 days straight with fresh water and CORID each morning and they are all doing so well 👍🏻
I can not thank you all enough for all of the encouragement...
the roo is about 11 months. I am not sure of his breed but I am sure that he has some Easter Egger in him. He is tall, his feathers are dark greenish/black and red and his comb is not floppy. It looks short and bumpy.
The hens are anywhere from 1 year to 4. Their eggs are pale yellow and before this rooster, I had another one that was really mean and he did his job. The eggs were noticeable more orange and had the bullseye. I could not keep that rooster! He drew blood 😳. The one I replaced him with was not...
My year old rooster is not doing his job. None of my eggs are fertilized. It’s been this way for 6 months. I got a new rooster and he hasn’t been any more effective 🙄. What am I doing wrong?
Anyone have explaination for why my leghorn hen is laying her eggs out in the open. She laid one right in front of the water dispenser the other day and today she laid one on top of large bolder in the run 🤷🏼
Safeguard Aquasol … the measuring is in metrics and I don’t know metrics. I don’t want to mess it up. How much safeguard goes in a gallon of water? I can mix up a gallon and make sure all the chickens consume it in the morning and then allow them to have unmedicated water the rest of the day.
Do...
She is just at 11 months. I have no idea about her shelll quality, she is one of 11.
Her hind end feathers didn’t look drenched, but I will check them again in the morning.
I only saw the poop from the picture and that was why I was concerned.
I started treating the entire flock with CORID...
I started treating the entire flock with CORID today. The directions say 1 tsp per gallon (so that would be 2 tsp for my 2 gallon waterer) for 5 days.
Would you suggest anything else?
This is what is coming out of my favorite hen today😲. I guess I need some help. She never just lets me pick her up, but today was completely different. I have Corid in my first aid kit for the chickens, but is that what I should use? I don’t have anything else 😕. Should I use a dewormer? What...
Plus, they are the same breed (Barred Rock) and they don’t look at all like the rooster that came with them 🤷🏼. They don’t have the same big comb and waddle and their tails look like a hen
The woman I got then from (they came with a rooster) said they are hens. They just started crowing when I brought them to my house. I am so confused. They don’t look like the rooster at all.
check this out ladies! I have two crowing hens 😳

I acquired a Serama couple about two weeks ago. I gather that the relocation could cause some stress and hinder the hen from laying … what is ab average timeframe for her to start back up? How do I know if she is broody or not?
I wouldn’t take one opinion as the gospel. They could been egg bound, have worms, etc.. if they are are both showing the same signs, it is very likely something that could spread throughout the flock. I would separate these two from your flock and then find out what is going on with them before...
Thank you so much for this information! I will definitely retain it for future use. Nothing was working to help this poor chicken and so my son helped me to cull her on Monday. It is sad, but it was much worse watching her suffer. I thanked her for all of the eggs she shared with me and my...
I have used it. I open up and dump out the powder. I mix one capsule with coconut oil and divide it into two mounds and then freeze it. It becomes a frozen chunk (pea size). I did that this evening and gave her one with a calcium tablet and a dropper full of water.
Praying 🙏🏻
