    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Pet stores, except for Walmart, are all an hour away from us, so I got mine at Chewy last year.

    Everything you need I linked in the article. Here's where I got the pouches though: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4D5XLNC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&tag=backy-20&th=1 Ooh, they're on sale!

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    That was smart thinking not to give her aspirin or anything that would thin her blood! Even without the Kaytee you could still make balls and try to feed her a few. I forgot to mention to add a little water to help make the balls but you'd have figured that out. :)

    Sick chick help!

    Great new! And at least we know this has nothing to do with her laying eggs! You could go every other day on the Poultry Cell now. Keep doing about 1/4 to 1/2 of an eyedropper of the liquid B-complex per day though. Poultry Cell for many days in a row can cause diarrhea.

    Baby chicks dying

    I'm very sorry for your loss! :hugs The heat lamp looks too close to them. Can you put a thermometer on the floor and check it. It should be around 85-90°F. Their feed should be chick crumbles. They shouldn't have told you to give them amprolium AND medicated feed, but don't think that...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    It could be she's been in pain or still is and thus isn't eating. If you can get some Kaytee baby parrot feed (powder) Plus Fat, that's what we've mixed in with crumbles, a raw egg yolk, a couple of drops of Poultry Cell vitamins for a few sick chickens we've had. I roll this into balls a bit...

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    We live with farm fields and forests around us. We could trap until we're blue in the face, and it wouldn't do anything. We have barn cats that help, but the best thing is to use deterrents so they don't come in there in the first place. These work. Just be sure if you do this that you...

    what to do with bullying chicken?

    I don't mind a little chicken drama from time to time, but I've culled a hen for less than this. I won't tolerate very much. These are show silkies, and aside from molting, don't need anyone beating on them or pulling their feathers out. If you've addressed that they all have at least 4 sq...

    Debbie's Silkies

    She was on top of the nest boxes this morning, and I swear she looked more like a cockatiel. She lost her whole tail too! :gig

    One of those is not like the others. I'll get a better picture, but this is yours. :) Yup, wild with the rest!

    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    Going from what Bobbi Porto (silkie exhibition breeder) at indigoegg.us told me, she will not ship just one chicken in a box. I wanted two pullets from her, and she also would not sell me just pullets; I also had to buy, at a reduced cost, two roosters. By the time I was done, I had received...

    Looking for a source in the USA for standard size Silkies

    Bantam is a class reference to size and silkies can be considered bantam, but I've come across a few with true bantam breeds that sometimes don't like silkies thrown into that classification. I think it's a manner of thinking is all. I don't know what google was talking about with two...

    Looking for a source in the USA for standard size Silkies

    Gotcha. I have just silkies here. Not sure if they're considered standard or bantam as I never weighed them. These are show quality, and I strive to meet SOP standards. One of them recently won in a national competition in Ohio.

    Debbie's Silkies

    I got pictures of the chicks finally, right when they came out. These were hen-raised so wild as heck! There are some older ones to the right that live with them. I had hatched these and gave them to a broody for the purposes of helping my spring rush of people wanting chicks. I started...

    Carolina Coop - Painting, Staining, Upgrades, etc.

    We checked into doing DLM with ours. We chose not to, and went with horse bedding pellets. Why? We have a linoleum floor. We already have humidity issues (Wisconsin is a humid state, especially where we are) and DLM would make things worse, not better, and Horse bedding pellets are virtually...

    Looking for a source in the USA for standard size Silkies

    What do you mean by Standards? I call mine show quality (bearded and vaulted). There's a link to my silkie page in my signature if you want to see what I mean.
