HELP!!
I have 3 backyard chickens and noticed roundworm in the faeces 2 wks back. Easy enough to solve you would think. I went and got worm medications administered 1st dose easy. When it came to administering the back up dose 2 of the worst affected hens refused to drink it! This is after...
Thanks for replies everyone have since done a bit of reading on the Production Reds. Am happy with any chicken really. Just didn't want another broody girl! Have x1 Brahma that goes broody at a drop of a hat and a bit scary! Always feel a tad guilty that she doesn't have fertile eggs.
Hi am new to the Rhode island red breed.
Birds are10-14wks there are no obvious combs as yet but the tail feathers on one are high is this normal for this breed or do i have a emerging roo? Thanks

For anyone else that is in a similar position. I had no cage/broody breaker to place my hen. I locked her out of nest box for 3 days with success. It helps my other hen is going though a moult at present and didnt require a nesting box.
My 9month old Brahma has became broody. I have no extra place/cage to put her in. I have locked her out of her nesting box much to her dismay today. It is coming into night now. Should i place cold packs in nest box to encourage her not to nest in there??
Well Ive just successfully washed my first ever chicken. Alot of the eggs come off some needed a bit of help. A few are still there. Will spray again on the 7th day. Thanks for your advice..
