Hello! Thanks for checking in! I've lost 3 of my original 4 hen flock. One 7yo survivor! Along the way I got a Bantam (two, but one got killed by a hawk) and she's had quite the life... She got broody some weeks ago because a rodent started storing whole pecans in her nest and she started...

I need this post to come two years later. That’s exactly what I’m looking for..

I appreciate it. It's thought to reconcile that learning costs lives :(

Thank you. Not really, I suspect it was a coccidiosis relapse but I'm not really sure, I'm amateur at best. The mites are under control and the rest of the flock seems to be doing well, but now I have three grown Barnevelders and two tiny Bantams, not a lot of integration happening.

I just buried my second Ayam Cemani pullet, which I got as a 12-week old pullet about a month ago. Her sister died a week after I got her, I found her dead in the coop, her pose stroke me; she was contorted with her head and neck thrown back, her wings slightly opened and her legs stretched...

Hello, how did your pullet do with this? I have one in the same situation now.

Thank you so much for your reply. She is in a dog crate with roosting bars and mulch on as floor Inside the chicken coop.

Hello. I adopted last Friday two Ayam Cemani 8 week old pullets. They were doing okay but two days ago they started to act a bit strange, they were eating and drinking but one specially was constatly fluffed up with her head close to her body, but still moving around. She was dead this morning...

Going backwards!! Lol!!

Thank you so much for your reply!! I will continue to read, I've only made it to page 850! 😅

Hello worm-farmers! Newbie here. I started with about 1000 three weeks ago and had to leave town for 10 days (the worms were an unexpected gift) I placed them in a small drawer set with oats and two veggies per drawer, upon my return it was full of mold, now I'm sorting the live ones to a clean...

I'm glad your girl is doing better, the treatment seems to be having a positive effect in mine, their vents look better already. I'm so distraught to have caused one to die :( tough learning.

That's awesome. Thanksfor sharing

I would like to add their poop seems normal, no diarrhea but they must be discharging something to have pasty butts.

Yes, they seem to be free of parasites
