I’ll definitely still keep her inside the house, since it’s quite cold in Lika and there’s snow. I stopped giving her veggies and fruits last week, so now she is on chicken feed and water only. Her illness looks like a common cold, but it’s been like that for a month and a half now so we’re...

I’m currently on a trip, but I’ll ask my mom to take photos for me. She looks normal, nothing out of ordinary, we did check for lice and mites and she did have them, but we got rid of them with neopitroid. Neopitroid is a biocidal powder, insecticide and it’s for lice, fleas, ants and ticks, our...

Yes it is, it’s an oral antibiotic and she was on that for a week since out vet told us to not keep her on that for too long, but it didn’t help one bit, she kept on coughing and sneezing. Then we tried again and we kept on giving it for about two and a half weeks, but again nothing changed...

Neopitroid is a biocidal powder, it’s an insecticide and it is used to control lice, fleas, ticks etc. It’s one of the oldest methods, in fact two of my vets recommended it, they said it’s not harmful to birds if it’s not used too often and we use it maybe once a year, the rest of the year they...

She eats ground corn, poultry feed, tomatoes, spinach, basically we give them all kinds of fruits, vegetables and grain, they rarely get a little bit of bread. She’s about one year old, unfortunately I don’t have any pictures at the moment, I’m on a trip, but I will ask my mom to take some for me.

Hello, I’ve had a problem with one of my american silkies for a few months now. She’s constantly coughing and sneezing and her nose is always running. She’s about one year old, bit she’s extremly small. We have talked to our vet, he told us to give her Enroxil and it didn’t help her, we tried...

Sadly I have news. He didn’t survive the night. I tried everything, but I couldn’t help him.😔

I think my rooster recently had a stroke, he’s still very young. He barely drinks any water or eats, he eats and drinks only when I’m next to him because his head is constantly moving to one side and I think he can’t see very well, when I offered him some food he started pecking next to the bowl...

That’s true. It’s probably both, the same thing happened to me and later that day one of my Brahmas got a heart attack from the trauma and they didn’t lay any eggs for a few days. Also they’re moulting, I have 24 chickens, 5 of them are roosters and others are hens. I’m lucky if i get 4 eggs a...

I did the same thing. We have a really bog yard and it’s full of trees so I have no idea how he got through it, I was in the yard the whole day watching over them, feeding them, petting them, gardening and I ran into the house just to get some coffee, I was gone for a minute and it happened. My...

Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t have much choice. Big girls don’t want him and Katica is the only one his size. I always take one rooster and two hens from the same breed. Sadly two months ago a hawk took one that was simmilar to Katica, she was just white, with beige and brown dots.

They’ve been separated from the others for a week now and he’s just not interested. Today I returned him to the flock and he immidately ran after my Welsummer😂 I don’t mind that, I’m not trying to get chicks yet. I started buying chickens this summer. I just want them to bond since they weren’t...

I guess I’ll see when he grows up, he hasn’t even started crowing yet and he’s already huge, that’s actually why I thought he wasn’t an ordinary rooster. Recently he hurt his leg, he can’t stand on it at all, it seems almost paralysed, but the same thing happened to my naked neck rooster and he...

Thank you :) I would love to share some pictures and stories, there are of course some good and some bad stories. My whole flock is still quite young, but I love to see them grow, it amazes me. This is Jurek, he’s a Croatian breed and looks quite simmilar to Seramas. He has a girlfriend, but...

I live in Lika, a valley that is surrounded by mountains. Summer has perfect weather, chilly nights, but it’s very warm during the day, there isn’t a lot of rain and my land has a lot of trees that provides enough shade for my chickens, although they still have enough sun to sunbathe :) Winters...
