I use wormwood to worm my chickens, does anybody else do this?

I have a 4 year old rooster who wheezes on a regular basis. He is perfecty fine otherwise. At first I tried everything, nothing helped, then it got better on it's own. It is sporadic and occurres at different times of the year. Just keep an eye on your roo and use your judgement. Chickens are...

We just moved to a house where there is a hawk's nest with 4 hawks, we think a mom, dad,and 2 juveniles. It took a while to figure out how to hawk proof our chickens. They have gotten 4 chickens, we had some younger, smaller breed chicks and 2 were small enough to squeeze through the fence. One...

How old were they? If they had just hatched they may be ok.

We had a very bad mite problem. I tried DE, neem oil, you name it. The only thing that worked was dusting the coop with sulfur powder. I dusted every nook and cranny. I even dusted the chickens with it. You do need to be careful to not breath it in, nor allow the chickens to breath it in. I put...

I hope you get some solid advise soon. Chickens are resilient, so maybe she will heal. I have dealt with many injuries, but none that were internal. Does she seem to be in pain? The fact that she is eating and drinking is a good sign.

What kind of chicks did you order and from what hatchery?

Looks like barred rocks to me. They are nice birds, I think you will be happy with them.

I am very curious now, I will take some better pics and post them

Here is our roo.

Very interesting! I will be thrilled if they are silver leghorns! They are larger than the slate leg birds, and feathered out sooner. Here is a pic of my silver phoenix roo.

Oh really? Let's wait and see...

I will take some pics tomorrow. Here is one of our silver phoenix pullets. We received 4 silver and 1 golden phoenix pullets, 1 roo, 2 Cochins,, 1 lakenvelder, 3 dominiques, we lost a couple early on that we are not sure of. What other breeds did you get?

This little one is taking so long to feather out, and it has more white than the others. This is one 15 from Murray McMurray in their ornamental layer collection.

They are from Murray McMurray, so yes.

Correction on age, they are about 7 weeks old

He is beautiful! We received a Silver Phoenix roo from Murray McMurray and we love him. Ours was received April 13th. When did you receive yours? From what I read he is not a bantam. I think yours might be a Golden Phoenix, we have a Silver Phoenix.

Is it possible for a Phoenix to have yellow legs? I have 2 with yellow legs and 2 with slate colored legs. The ones with slate legs are not quite feathered out so it is hard to tell yet. They are about 9 weeks.

I would pass on both those offers. You could require a home visit if you feel uncomfortable. Good luck!

Bump, any guesses?
