One of my chickens has Vent gleet and I was going to give her Nystatin oral solution 100,000units/ml. Can anyone tell me the correct dose for one chicken ? Also, is there any egg withdraw time ? TIA

I have 6 hens.

They start to fill up the cartons fast! I have 3 full ones currently!! So pretty!

I have seen them eat the oyster shells! I also thought about doing a powder supplement for now!

It was stuck inside vent. I Epsom salt soaked her for 20 minutes and felt right inside and she started pushing it out. She ended up getting it out then. She is acting normal this morning thankfully. But thank you for your input. I hope they all start laying harder eggs soon!! It's a mess at the...

Hey everyone, I have 6 chickens, 4 that lay brown eggs and 4 that lay colored. These girls just started laying last week. Yesterday I got 2 perfect little brown eggs, but this morning I found 3 soft shelled eggs that were laid off the roosting bar. Could this be because they are young? They are...

I meant like all the egg shell that was inside her. But I think she pooped it all out! This morning she is acting like her normal self!

Where do you get this supplement? And what dosing ?

Soaked my hen because she wasn't acting herself. I did get an egg out. Had a really soft shell, but didn't seem to have all the shell when it came out but did have all the internal egg with it. She has now passed a large bowel movement now after. Should I be concerned since the egg broke but had...

Thank you! I appreciate your input. I actually have a stash of egg shells that I have been keeping in a gallon freezer bag in our freezer for a while. Everytime I eat one I throw the shell in there until I have enough to bake them and break them up to give to the chickens!

Congrats on your first egg!! I just got my first egg the other day! Random question, what type of camera do you use in your coop? Thanks!

As I have posted over the last day or two, I have been having issues with my girls either laying in the run or off their roosting bar in the middle of the night. Well I finally got my first egg in the nesting box today!! Not the most beautifully shaped, but they are only 16 weeks old! SUPER...

No I am not running the heat lamp. That was back when it was cold here in PA. Once the temps started staying in the 40-50's at night, I stopped turning it on at night for them!

Hello there! I live in Central PA, and have 6 chickens who are now 16 weeks old! 2 ISA Brown, 2 Black sex linked, and 2 colored eggers assorted. I started with a backyard flock as a hobby for my family and I to enjoy together. My husband didn't want chickens but is now completely in love, and my...

Thank you for your input! I appreciate it. Makes me feel better that they may not be egg eaters after getting a taste one time from a broken one. They do eat anything so it makes sense. This is the nesting box with fake eggs in it.
