Sorry to hear of your experience with this coop. I wanted to chime in to say that I think the company - as do most companies that only sell coops (not a coop with a run, because there are those out there) - builds these types/sizes with the expectation that the hens will free range. It’s...
Excellent! With what you are noting, I am thinking I’ll bring their very small coop and put that in my run and close that off with some chicken wire and maybe a bit of plywood for a no-see area. I can close off the original coop so the current hens can lay and roost but still have access to the...
I’m considering doing this - and will take the necessary precautions of quarantine prior but curious … my flock of 10 is well established (2 years). They come when called, there are several very friendly ones. Will adding two new hens (same age - 2 years; adding due to death of owner) change...
@Eggcessive - I've tried to do a search for Aqua-Mox dosage for chickens but not coming up with anything specific to Aqua-Mox. Can you help? My hen is about 2.5 lbs. Not sure this will work but willing to give it a shot. Thank you.
Thank you - I didn't know it could be given orally. I will do that going forward. I really, really appreciate your insight and help.:fl
Someone also said to give Pen-G (instead of the Tylan, which is what I had avail at TSC - Penicillin wasn't avail). Is that going to do the same/similar at the...
She's roughly 3 lbs. I gave her one .25 ml does last night via injection. I will give her two more today of same dose. Her tail is a little more "up" today and her poop - although still white - is firmer. It's still a bit of a struggle to get her to eat but I'm trying and I have nothing to...
Her crop is not at all full in the a.m. From what I can tell, she’s not eating at all unless I feed it to her - either by putting it in her mouth or by her taking very minimal amounts from my hand. This is what I’ve been doing for four days. I called a vet on Tuesday a.m. but have not heard back...
@Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @Kiki - I hope it's okay that I update you on the situation via this thread post - you have all been so helpful - thank you.
In four days, the situation has not really changed. I have all chickens on Corid drench, and Safguard (individual doses) - they all look amazing...
I posted a message a few days ago about my 1.5 year old hen. She's not laid since March but has generally been fine until now. She - and her flock mates - are just finishing their molt but she has been lethargic, isolates herself. She is not really eating. She does not have mites. The - great -...
@Wyorp Rock - thank you. I checked her vent/back end and don’t feel anything. I checked her feathers and there are still some pin feathers that have yet to “blossom” so moly may still be hurting. She ate some tuna and treats this am. I gave her some more NutriDrench and water. Will get Corid...
You are right - it was Mareks. Ugh - so many things! I see I can get corrid at my Tractor Supply. Think it’s okay to treat for worms and coccidosis at the same time? If not, why would you treat for first?
