I have medium sized metal chicken waterer , and I have noticed some rusty spost in the trough that the chickens drink from. Whenever I wipe at the spots the red looks like the wind blew it away, it leaves behind white spots in the metal. The waterer is only about a year old. Can the rust harm my...

Funky, and Sugie are the same age, Funky and Sugie fight often. Sugie is untamed.
Pippen is about 5 months old, and tamer then Sugie. Funky ignores him. Pippen has a sister that he hangs out with would I need to get rid of her?
Will Funky get along better with Pippen since hes younger...
So I am assuming this problem started about 2-3 months ago. I kept noticing that Funky ,my beloved almost a year old RIR roo kept having dried poop on his feathers on his but. So I washed him, and noticed that the area looked red, like ants had gotten him, but the "bites" didn't have puss. A...
I tried to get rid of most of the pine chips. Snow the momma is taken out at ounce a day to got to the bathroom. What would be the best bedding for the brooder house?
I have finally got some bedding its pine bedding. Found at walmart. The pieces, are kind of small, so I didn't put it in with the chicks. I'am hopeing its ok. What do you think?
My white silkie roos crop has been empty now for at least 2 days. He has grit out for him. He eats a small amount, and drinks. Has a resptory issue that I have been treating. Whats wrong with him? Thanks
My silkie roo sugie's crop only had like 3 pices of scratch in it. His crop was EMPTY. He was getting ready to go roost tonight. I put a bowl of grit out today. They have a resptory infection that I am currently treating with tylan. What is wrong with his crop!!!!
Thanks.
I have 1 RiR and ! silkie Roo. Pros about Funkey (rir) He protects the flock from Dogs, and hes a good hawk lookout, Funkey finds treats for the girls, and he is the friendlest chicken of the bunch, Hes the only one that lets me interact with them. He is so pretty!
The bad things bout...
Normaly you can hear a faint roo here and there. But today at 4:32 Am my chickens were having a conversation with a few roos, and you could hear all of them. Roo calls sure do travle!
How do you use tylan? Water? By mouth? Can I still eat the eggs? HOw much would I use in a 5 gal waterer for a flock of 4 1 standred, and 3 banties. How much for a chick waterer with 2 5 week old chicks, and 1 bantie mom? Thanks.
I really don't have a quarantine area. Don't think I can build one. Can I put the new birds in at night, and then treat the entire flock for whatever? If I can treat them, then with what? In case you can't tell I'm a little bit lost.
If there are 3 roost 4 ft wide how many chickens as banties ( standred chickens 2X Banti.) The other half of the coop is nest box. They have an huge run outside.
At walgreens there was a preadtor motion activated light with ultra sonic sound, that worked up to 30 feet. Did I mention solar powered? I don't want to bother the chickens with the noise it makes. Can chickens hear ultra sonic sounds???
