Tractor supply. The bucket of bantams.

These instructions are for prohibit that I use on cows and goats right? The white and red baggie?

I have heard that in the gonads of both hens and roosters that 1 is a neutral gonadotropin meaning it has the ability to change into the opposite sex organ. You may have heard of hens spontaneously turning into roosters or vice versa. It is rare but it can happen. I am not sure if this could be...

Thanks for your info. My birds were free range their whole lives.

Me and my grandfather wanted to deep fry but I also don't want to waste the meat. Are they too old and tough for deep frying? Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

Thank you so much for your words and knowledge this makes me feel better.

I live in middle GA and just got a bird diagnosed with mareks as well. Confused and upset but hopefully it's not a super deadly strain.

BLUF: One of my chickens was diagnosed with Mareks. Is the rest of my flock of 40 doomed? Should I just give up on my chicken hobby? (Breeding and hatching) So I just started my backyard chicken venture last June. Today I have 40 chickens in my back yard. Recently a couple of my hens(so far...

Feeding corn and layer crumble. I don't think any of it is bad.

I found my hen in the coup with her feathers ruffled and an empty crop. Not much else to report for symptoms than the droppings you see.

We've had a pretty wet winter here in Georgia and I recently I've been losing a few chickens. I've been trying to troubleshoot what the issue may be and I've begun to think it could be coccidiosis. Can anyone look at this picture and tell me if it looks like coccidiosis in the hen droppings...

Thank you. I gave her food and she ate a good amount. Still acting a bit sick but I guess if she has an appetite that's a good sign.

She seems to be wasting away. I do see her pecking at the ground but her crop is never full. Also her comb is hanging down today and she doesn't look so good at all.

Can anyone tell me what poop this color means?

I am currently going through fowl pox too. Several of my pullets got bubbly eyes , especially the ones that had pox legions near the eye. One of my hens died suddenly like the one you described. I think this is due to wet pox which has a higher casualty rate. They can get both wet and dry...

Here is a pic of her foot. It appears to be gnarled though I do not know what this might indicate.

I have seen a very small amount of blood on her leg. Less than 1 drop. I also moved her leg into several positions and she didn't seem to feel any pain which makes me fear paralysis. Her toes do, however, grip around my finger when pressed, which may offer counter proof of neurological disease...

New chicken tender here. My chickens were all born around the beginning of June 2020. Up until the last 30 days my 20 chickens have had an impeccable bill of health. Recently 6 of the flock has been stricken with fowl pox. I immediately separated them. About 2-3 weeks after separation I found...

well I mean they are aloof as in they don't care to be near people. And like the guinea fowl they are flighty or skittish...moreso than regular chills.
