    Cold rooster??

    I have one of the radiant heater pads that can be placed on the wall or the floor of the coop without igniting any materials. So far, it has been down to 8 degrees windchill and they do not seem to notice it exists. They do not huddle near it or stand on it to absorb the warmth. However, it is...

    Our Cockerels First Adventure

    Everything I have read via books and online chats say to quarantine them. The time period seems to vary from 1 to 2 weeks. I would still follow this and check closely for any types of illness symptoms. Then add him into the flock via a cage for a week or so to get acclimated to the flock. If...

    Our Cockerels First Adventure

    I understand quarantine to be in an area not close to your existing flock. So, I would put him in an area where the hens are not exposed to him. Then once the quarantine period has expired without any issues, allow him to join the hens being exposed thru a pen inside the coop. Once that is...

    egg yolk peritonitis? My buff Orpington is sick

    First try presenting it like a treat in the palm of your hand. Mine ate it greedily. It even amazed the Vet. I made sure to place it vertical to the beak.

    Denagard Dosage

    I had a necropsy on the first one that died and it ruled our Mareks and a couple other major diseases and had the second one affected tested and treated and he lived. I told them to test for everything. I then treated with amoxicillin for the entire flock per the Vet. That was probably in...

    Denagard Dosage

    i just purchased the product and gave it to my flock of 12 at the recommended dosage on the label of 3 teaspoons per gallon for 3-5 days. The flock is still sneezing at day 6 and a few have a diarrhea. Not sure where to go from here. They have received probiotics since day 6. I have other...

    Balding bird?!

    Typo, sorry! They are still cute as ever! I hate spell check! I am pretty good with English but spell check changes things on you that you are not aware of. I guess more proof-reading is required with today's technology.
