Thank you, azygous! Thanks, azygous, You make a great point about the increase of hydration when the temperatures suddenly and dramatically rise and fall. That happens a lot here, especially during the Spring. I will give the rice and carrots a try. And, Thank You, LaFleche for the carrot...

Off and on for months. One of them got pale and weak last fall. That's when I dewormed the flock with the red pepper, and then fenbendazole. There was some improvement, but it was short-lived. None of them are pale or lethargic now but I'm sure it must be irritating for them to have dealt with...

Thank you, azygous! None of the hens are sick, pale or weak looking right now. I did have one last fall that got pretty pale and lethargic for a couple weeks. That's when I tried the organic pepper deworming and later, fenbendazole. She did get better then and the other hens seemed to improve as...

Thank you, Lillith37. I just ordered some of the Equa Holistics Healthy Gut Protection for Chickens and Poultry. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TSL55B5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I was under the impression that daily fermented feed would meet all the probiotic needs of...

Thank you, LaFleche, I will try all these suggestions and update this thread with any progress. To answer your questions, I've never dewormed the flock since I haven't noticed problems before but I will do that immediately. I'm in the coop everyday for cleaning and have never noticed any mites...

One of my Black Copper Maran hens has been suffering with diarrhea for a few months. I can also see that she has a pale comb, she seems less active, eats less and seems sleepy more often than normal. She is about a year and a half old and I've never had any other health problems with her or my...

Hello, Everyone! I picked up my first hens two days ago and wanted to share my first photos with you. I got 6 birds, 2 Pearl Legbars, 2 Black/Copper Marans, and 2 that I'm not sure about (perhaps you can identify them). I asked my breeder to email me the breeds but he failed to do that. One is a...

Thank you, cmom! I will check those out.

Thanks for the welcome, Cynthia. Always grateful here as well!

Thanks for the welcome message, LadiesAndJane! I'm excited to see them. I have no idea what to expect at this point so, I'm glad to know that my breeder has made great choices for me.

Thank you, Isadora, I'm so glad to have found this site and I look forward to learning with you!

Thanks, Dawg.

I appreciate the advice pickles. We used two 4' X 4' slider windows in the sided house area and the pen will be hardware cloth.

Thank you, Sourland.
