    My chicken is unwell

    So sorry about your chicken. Pictures of your chicken and the poop would help. What does she eat in a given day? Was it always this weak or it's just getting worse every day?

    Is it appropriate to de-worm during molting?

    I've never wormed ours, ever, albeit using Ivermectin for SLM three times in six years, and that's x2 treatments each time. I know it's questionable if it really works on much beyond roundworms. I doubt I'd have anything to worry about feathers growing back weird though if I ever choose to use...

    Hi! Here's the European thread where you might find some from Ireland, but there are also some folks in there I noted up on diseases. For boredom busters, here are two articles from BYC: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/top-8-boredom-busters-for-backyard-chickens.76316/...

    North Central, GA

    Hi, To talk to folks from Georgia, here's the Georgia thread. For buying, selling, trading, or giving away, here's our Buy/Sell/Trade Forum. I also use my local and state poultry groups on Facebook a lot for buying/selling. If you don't have an acct., I'd make one for the chickens. Good luck!

    New chicks

    Awe, so adorable. ❤️ Sounds like fun! Do you have a ramp up to the nest for them? We raise silkies, so we have permanent ramps in as they can't fly or jump more than a few inches.

    What is wrong

    At first I'd think scaly face mites, but you're saying this is only in one eye in each of two chickens, correct? If so, in that case it could be corzya and they'll most likely need antibiotics. Does it have an odor? Do you have access to a vet who can test that?

    Scabs and missing feathers 🐓

    Strawberries, in moderation, are actually very good for chickens. I wish ours liked them more as they just take a bite and move on. Feather picking can occur for a few reasons but the top two are overcrowding and lack of protein. For space, they should each have 4 sq feet per bird in the...

    Securing chickens at night

    I agree. Maybe the door they could get their paw through, as ours is metal bars, but that's only one end and the chickens would be at the other. If yours is like ours, I'd just attach HWC over that, or if you don't have it yet, a piece of chicken wire X2 over that should do it.

    Every body post your feed tricks PLEASE

    This is a vertical nipple bottle. Chicks use these Day 2 until about three weeks old, then transition to the horizontal ones. In a pinch with adult chickens, we've hung one of these and they either remember or learn very quick and use these too. This is a DIY horizontal nipple waterer made...

    22 Week Old Hen - Right foot turned inwards

    I'm assuming she'll get better, so when you put her back with the rest, can you put in a lower perch for her? That way she doesn't reinjure it jumping so far. I'm assuming your perches are a few feet high.
