How does everybody do a fecal float test or where do you purchase a fecal float test? None of my vets around here will do a fecal float test for chickens. I don't want to keep randomly giving my chickens different wormers without knowing what I'm worming them for. Thanks for any advice.
I'm pretty sure I have a hen. There's no crowing and I don't see an egg but I know that they mature later. I do have one that is a definite rooster and he is crowing and has the beautiful tail feathers.
I know this is a long shot as they're only 10 weeks old. I'm 99% sure that the black one is a young rooster because he's already tidbitting. And has more waddles as far as the buff maybe somebody can tell me that has more experience with silkies if there's a chance it's a female? Every time the...
I have a young hen who has one swollen earlobe any idea what this might be? There doesn't seem to be any other symptoms no sneezing no discharge from eyes or nose I do not see any swelling of the actual ear. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Any idea why a young rooster would attack people that he doesn't see very often? He hasn't attacked me unless I try to him up when he doesn't want to be put up. I've never had a rooster that just randomly attacked other people any suggestions I really want to keep him.
I know it's still early to post this but I bought two Sicilian buttercups as pullets they are approximately 4 weeks old one of them has a way bigger comb and has feathered out much slower hasn't even started showing signs of much tail feathers I'm thinking possible Cockrell just wanting to get...
I have a buff minorca who has gone Broody twice. I was told that these chickens don't go broody and she is under a year old but she has successfully sitting on two viable eggs about 4 days gestation. Anybody had luck with a buff Minorca??
I bought these two as chicks they're supposed to be pullets. I'm just not sure. They are 11 wks old. The silver laced has a much more pointy tail. The gold laced is slower to feather out.
I have a 10 wk old cochin who was acting fine until 2 days ago. I let her out of the coop and she was puffed up and acting slow. I have her inside now. She is not able to really pick up food and is drinking water oddly. She has had a little water come out of her mouth a couple times since...
She is 13 wks old and started acting weird 3 days ago. First she was just puffed up and then she started stumbling a little. She's doing splits and I believe one or both of her legs are paralyzed. Now It's getting worse. I gave her a drop of nutri drench but no luck. She is a tiny Dutch Batman.

Help ..I gave my chickens wazine for worms about 10 days ago. I just notice a bunch of lice on my rooster crawling on his tail feathers.
Is it safe to put ivermec on them??
I have this Sapphire splash I got her from my local feed store as a Pullet around 8 weeks old. Currently 13 to 14 weeks. I think it's a Pullet but not a 100% ? Does anybody have any idea?
