I had two chickens with vent gleet. Very sure from the smell that was what it was. I treated them with Monistat, and it cleared up nicely. Now, I have about eight chickens with it. I purchased some Medistat. Does anyone know how to administer it without giving it individually twice daily? Can it...
I have a red Bantam Cochin, about 2 -3 years old. We have hatched new roosters that are getting larger and very dominant. Our bantam is the only bantam in the flock, so we thought now would be a time to get him his own bantam flock. The bigger boys are giving him a go of it.
We aren't concerned...

Roscoe is almost a year old. My little Cochin roo has begun chasing him endlessly. And Roscoe attacked my legs twice in one day. I really do not have the heart to cull him. I am I eastern NC, does anyone know of a rooster rescue or someone who might want to give him a new forever home?
I have always had good results when purchasing from TSC. However, I bought 4 chicks that were supposed to be calico princesses . But they are about 3 months old and they are all solid white. They have green/ grey legs and no beards or muffs. Do calicos come in solid white? I didn’t think so!
I brought home a bantam cochin rooster last year and added to my standard flock of 20 hens. They accepted him and he is a good protector. He mates alot but due to his size we will never have chicks. So about 8 weeks ago I was gifted a 12 week standard RIR Rooster. The hens still chase him off...
I have a roundworm in one chicken poop and I'm freaking out. I have had chickens for a couple of years and never had worms. I did get a small rooster form a friend about 4 weeks ago and he may have brought them in, but this is the first I have noticed. We have about 25 chickens and they need to...
I have some friends who purchased some chickens from TSC. They were mixed evidently and they are unsure of the breed. Any ideas? The black ones have feathered feet.
I feed my girls eggshells and oyster shell. They love the eggshells, not so much the oyster shell. I buy Manna Pro; are there any other alternatives (that won't break the bank)? Manna Pro seems a little big for them. They eat the small pieces and waste the larger ones. We can't eat enough eggs...
I have a bantam rooster at least a year old. We added him to out flock about 3-4 weeks ago, right after we added 3 month old pullets. Our original flock is 11 hens that are around a year old. They get on fine, until bedtime. Everyone jumps on the roost and and the Rooster runs our 3-4 month...
I am lucky enough to have a friend that is allowing me to adopt her bantam rooster. However, I am at a lose as to the breed. Can anyone help? His short tail is "stumping" me. He has feathers on his legs.
I have a Cinnamon Queen, about a year old, that has sour crop about every couple of months. I give her yogurt and acv and massage her crop for a few days and she gets better. But she keeps getting sick. She is the only one. She looks so miserable and I feel horrible that I don't know how to...
I have 4 RIR/Cooper Marans that are 4 months old. I also ave 4 other chicks (2 buff and 2 red sex links), they are 3 months old. I have the RIR/BCM in a coop with a small pen. I have the 3 months old in a temporary pen in the shop. They all free range all day, and retire to their own places at...
