I had a hen die a few days ago, I noticed another wasn’t acting like herself the next day.. started looking around inside the coop and found worms in poop. I went to TS and they gave me some medicated pellets. My baby, I love all my hens, but this one is my baby, she thinks she’s my lap dog, she...
I added 4 new chickens to my flock a few months ago, unfortunately 2 turned out to be roosters. And of course it’s time for one of them to go cause I only have 7 hens. The bigger rooster is a real butthole and he’s very aggressive with my hens. At first I thought it was that he is trying to mate...
My mom picked up some diatomaceous from TS for me and she came back with a different one that I had purchased last time. I opened it thinking that it was just a bigger bag so it looked different.. or so I was hoping anyway but this one is white and it was brown the last time I got it. I didn’t...
I rescued 5 baby ducks that were stuck in my aunts swimming pool… do I need to worry about them giving my flock of chickens anything because they come from the wild? Do they need a heat lamp? What all do I need to know to keep them healthy until they are able to be released back into the wild...
So, I have a flock of 5 adult hens, 4 Easter Eggers & a white leghorn. I recently decided to add to the flock & got 4 baby chicks, they are around 11 weeks old now.. 2 New Hampshire Reds, which have turned out to both be cockerels. The other two are pullets, an Australorp & a Silver Easter...
Okay so I got 4 baby chicks about 2 months ago from my nieces maw maw. She didn’t really know for sure which chicks were which but she believed she had some New Hampshire Reds & Cinnamon Queens for sure.. so I’m pretty positive these are some New Hampshire Reds… I have 2 that we named Goldie and...
I posted about my chickens Bumblefoot in another post but I’m still trying to figure out how to work the website and can’t find my post🥴 So a few of my chickens have Bumblefoot, all of their feet look like they are healing from me just putting meds… however I have one that hers was worse than...
Hey guys, I have 3 of my hens that have very mild Bumblefoot and 1 that is worse than the other 3. They either are reddish or have a little scab with no swelling that I can tell.. I’ve been treating with vet. spray, blu-kote, and neosporin twice a day and epsom salt soakings once a day before I...
The first photo is after I washed it with a wet cloth and put vaseline on it. She’s a little over a year old, I’ve seen her comb get pale, bright red, and dirty.. but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it look so dark at the tips but I’m arguing with myself about if I’m over reacting or not lol…...
2 days ago my daughter noticed one of our hens had a foamy eye…last night I started to google and everything that I’m reading is freaking me out. This morning I went and got vetRX and cleaned her eye up and treated her with the vetRX. The picture is what it looked like 5min after I had just...
Something tried to get our chickens last night. That is the corner that they all 5 like to sleep in at night. What animal do you guys think tried to eat through the wood like that? We wrapped an extra gate/fencing around the whole coop to protect them tonight. And we also put a camera on them to...
