Hi everyone! Really hoping we can get some answers or ideas on here! This problem is getting VERY frustrating. Basic problem: Cornish Cross broiler chicks seem healthy until about 3 weeks old, then they randomly start dying. We start noticing chicks that seem to be constipated, i.e. they...

Hi, I have 8 - 2 week old Barred/Blue Rock chicks that were hatched from prize eggs won in an Easter Hatch-a-long contest. You can see their hatch story and pictures HERE. They are being cared for by a Broody Buff Orpington, and have seemed to do great, but yesterday I noticed one chick...

Hello, Background - I was given 4 banty hens and a banty rooster from a neighbor last year. They all had lumps on their feet from Scaley Leg Mites and so I have been treating them with foot soaks and a natural oil/ointment to smother the mites and heal their feet. This winter I was trying...
