This is just me being a worried chicken mom, so we've given our 3-ish month old chicks Corid water for about 10 days, (diluting it the past 3) and I just want to see if it would be wise to re give it to them in another week? I've read that it is recommended but want to get info from fellow...
No photos of the poop, I probably should've said this, I ment that we refill the water every night so it goes on through the night and into the day, so the only source of water day and night is the medicated water, we are using liquid Corid(also have powered) the weather has been VERY warm so...
Hello, so we are dealing with an outbreak of coccidioisis with our 2 month old chickens, this is the second time we've delt with this in the 15 years of having birds. We've given them the medicine in their water every night, so far none have died, the. But I'm worried because a few of them are...
I separated her in the morning but she is never really around the other ducks, she for at least two years stays up in the woods alone, she did have a friend named Amber but unfortunately she did recently die, Amber helped her navigate around when Cuddles was just blind in one eye, but even...
She can hear, I moved straw around and she'll get a little defensive. I don't know when she ate last, I'd assume it was the other night, she might've eaten some of the pellets but I don't know as shes outside, the light is a good idea! I'll look into that in the morning, thank you
So we have a about 9 year old duck, She is a khaki Campbell and her name is Cuddles..
Awhile ago she lost her eye become of our two boy ducks, and she's been slowly going blind in the other eye, as of recent I'm pretty sure she is completely blind.
She is separated from everyone else so no one...
DE may not be the name of what we use, as we have a different kind of dust but we used to use DE so that's what I'm calling it, but we have used DE since we've had our birds (14+ years) unless my parents are calling it the wrong name, but thank you!
Alright thanks! I'll probably go use DE dust stuff, and dust around were it was up in the woods just to be sure, if the people we want to check don't have Guineas then we may go to Facebook, thank you for correcting me on what they are called!
The little thing has just made chirping sounds and...
I know about the diseases and such yes but I don't think any of them actually interacted with it as they were more scared of it, I just am worried and wonder what we should do or look out for if they start acting strange.
We don't know if the neighbor has them, we just know that they have had...
So I went out to let the birds out, once they were all out our rooster saw something.
Looked in the woods and there was just a young guinea hen.
We don't want them, so I cought it and put it in a cage, me and my mom think we know were it came from, maybe two neighbors down.
If it's not theirs...
Hello! We just had a little incident, a raccoon was around our birds and got in with our goose and 2 ducks, luckily nothing happened and we are going to before it gets dark fix the area were it got in and set two traps, we've had raccoons in the past and we first started trapping and then...
Hello, I come back for a simple question, we have a hen who's not doing well and we are now thinking about trying to put her down just so she stops suffering. We have never really put down our birds except for once and that was our first year of getting chickens so we don't know how to put them...
This is nothing recent, I just want to share this, idk why really but I feel like its right. Maybe so other people who've had birds pass from being deformed know they aren't alone. I don't really know. But I did cry while typing this.
So I had a Leghorn named Sunny(she is my online name...
Hello! I just wanted to say that I have and my dad- have been flapping our arms whenever he tries to hiss/attack us, and this is causing him to turn away and stop, sometimes even hide.
I hope we aren't challenging him because as I see it us flapping our arms like that is telling him that we are...
Alright, but if we see signs hes trying to mate with them we'll have to move them during the night.
His separation anxiety is so bad that once the two runners were on the inside of a fence and he was outside, when I was putting them away I saw him and saw that his eye was really red so I had to...
Okay thank you! We have never had a goose before and frankly didn't do proper research for personalitys, when it stops snowing we're I am I'll attempt to get him into our yard and just sit there with him, I'll give this information to my family as well so they know to :)
Alright I'll keep that in mind, usually when he hisses at me I'll try and grab him and put him in-between my legs, my mom has been trying to get him to eat from a container from her hand and he has but then he got scared and ran away- thank you
