I'd say good job! As others said, there are not any pics or much paragraphing, but you obviously know your stuff, and in my opinion that's something you don't always find. It's good to know what meds to use, and you have definitly researched.
Besides, most people (at least me) read many...
We've all known the problem... Here is my experience and observations after treating half my flock, many of them more than once, for bumblefoot.
I had a flock of 19 chickens - 15 Hyline Browns (AKA Red Sex-Links), and 4 Barred Rocks.
Soon after we moved to the Eastern Shore (of Maryland), I...
For the future: one of my girls was doing this often, and losing weight. Her crop was small and empty, and she’d only eat wet feed. Her comb turned a red/purple, and she sat huddled in a ball as if she was cold all day. We fed her fermented feed, and she completely recovered.
I don’t have any experience feeding it to chicks, but it worked wonders on my sick hen. They love the stuff as well.
For my recipe, I used a high protein scratch from my local mill. It was a mix of pellets and grains. This gave the best of both worlds - it made the grains easy to digest and the...
No... the younger pullets/roo just started.
I will ask for photos. I don't really want to go over there, if you know what I mean.
Do you think I could attach a normal video, or must it be a YouTube link?
I didn't think of it. I haven't held her in a while - since we found they had lice, about...
A few other notes: the neighbor took Gobble to the vet recently, and the vet didn't mention her gasping while being picked up, although I don't think they asked the vet about it.
They have been treating her for around a month for lice. I am not sure exactly what they are using. At first they...
Thanks all for your input - both the positivity and the suggestions. I'll work on it. There is always something to say when someone takes time to write a reveiw, or read it slowly enough to find where it needs help!
Hi all,
My neighbor recently got some chickens from some relatives in the south. The differently numbered flocks are from different family members. There are 7 total chickens:
An Orpington from our flock (who was totally healthy, currently 11mo old.)
3 hens, around 2yrs old. A Delaware, a...
Also, how about the smell/toxic level of it? I recently used Nu-Stock on my birds (applied outside) but the smell got carried into the house and it smelled caustic. Would I need to make sure the coop was well ventilated after I apply?
