Thank you so much Wyorp Rock for your response! I have tried treating the flock in the past with Oxytetracycline as well as some members of the flock that were especially bad with Tylan 50. Their coop is very well ventilated and I keep it very clean as well. The only facial swelling I have ever...
Every winter, a few members of my flock seems to get "gurgled clucking" and the whole flock seems to sneeze occasionally. They also seems to get a little smelly around their faces. Otherwise, they seem perfectly healthy and normal. What should I be doing to help them?
After introducing one pullet (around 11 weeks old) to my flock of full grown chickens, I noticed that she had a couple bloody poops and assume that she is dealing with some sort of coccidiosis. I started treating her individually with Corid but now I am wondering if my whole flock is at risk and...
Thank you so much for your very informative and thoughtful response! I will have to look more closely at her feathering. Her dad was a cross with what looks like very strong game bird lineage:)
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your super informative response. Her mom for sure has at least one copy of the gt gene and maybe her dad as well. Definitely is Mt Mt though:)
Thanks again!
Here is my nine week old pullet. She is a cross but has quite a bit of Phoenix in her. Just wondering if she carries/is expressing the long tailed gene or if she just has a normal tail. If she was expressing the long tailed gene, is that a trait she could pass on?
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your reply! The lady who sold her to me has lines from Greenfire farms stock but this pullet has no spots at all...also some of her siblings did not have single combs if that makes any difference...here’s a pic of the pullet. She seems to be Columbian colored??
Just wondering if a purebred Swedish Flower Hen can have green/willow legs or if that would definitely indicate a crossbred. Thanks for your expertise!
Thank you so much @centrarchid @Kiki and @FortCluck! What a relief to see that I have been using the correct dosing (Corid powder). Thinking of introducing the two new pullets to the same building as my other pullet after five days of treatment but not coming into direct contact with the flock...
Thanks so much for your response @FortCluck. Right now, they are in a completely separate building than my other pullet that I previously had. I was hoping to move the two new pullets side-by-side with my existing pullet (but in separate cage) but didn't know if it might be too soon and my...
Recently, I got two 7 week old pullets that had some blood in their poop and presume they had coccidiosis. I have been dosing them with Corid for 3 days now and haven't seen any blood since the first 48 hours of treatment. These pullets are still in quarantine but I was just wondering when they...
It actually just disconnected and am wondering if it was just membrane or it the chick will be weaker if it was in fact yolk sack. I will get some pics right now.....
