My 5 month old New Hampshire Red Becky has suddenly started behaving strangely. I let the flock out to free range yesterday morning and she was acting fine. We live where temps get really hot so we bring our chickens inside from time to time to cool off. We brought her in last night and she...
In the past month we got around 20 fertilized silkie chicken eggs for incubation.
Our neighbor requested us to hatch these eggs for her since she knew we regularly hatch eggs a few times a year.
When the chicks hatched we had one that seemed pretty weak and was not able to hold its head in a...

Hi I went in to my chickens coop this morning and I looked on The floor and I saw this. It looks like worms in a pile of bloody poo there was more but I must've stepped on it. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to treat it
I don’t like just taking someone’s word for something, it’s caused problems for me in the past and let’s be honest, a lot of people spread bs around without realizing it’s bs, like the medicated feed toxic to waterfowl myth for example.
So I was curious about Oxine’s supposedly curing birds of...
Hey there, about 4-5 days ago one of my hens got really weak and sick, however it showed no sign of respiratory illness. I dewormed the entire flock, and gave all of them a easy-going basic antibiotic. The course for the antibiotic is over. However my rooster develop respiratory illness. He...
I finally did it: I created an article on how to wrap chicken feet. I consider myself a little bit of an expert because I’ve been dealing with an ungodly amount of bumblefoot in the flock lately. *sigh*
Wrapping feet is necessary after any sort of foot pad surgery (most commonly to treat...
Based on everything I’ve read cryptosporidiosis isn’t treatable, the amoeba parasite resists pretty much anything thrown at it, odds of survival depend on the immune status of the victim infected by it.
But the university of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine just cracked it with a...
For those that are new to poultry keeping that don’t know what Aspergillosis “asper” is like myself when I started raising ducks and geese, Asper is a highly fatal opportunistic illness caused typically from inhailing spores or less often having them infect a wound... and the spores are...
A few days ago I noticed my amerucana rooster has no feathers on one leg and has lost quite a few tail feathers. Also his skin is very red in those places without feathers. His leg appears to possible be trying to grow feathers back. He is in a pen/coop with 5 hens and they are all perfectly...
Dear chicken friends.. We all know what Covid and the fear of Covid has caused throughout recent history. :barnie
We also know that our "government" CANNOT be expected to know what is in the best interest of the PEOPLE but are indeed looking out for their own interest, whatever that may be...
Here is what worked for my chickens
De-Solv-it.
A multi-purpose cleaner sticky spot and stain remover.
Natural Citrus Base.
The mites get under the scales, and use skin to build caverns for themselves. If you pick up a piece that has fallen off then look under a microscope you will see the...

So, you may have seen my post before where I explain how my flock inherited MG from a “hatchery” that sold me sick chickens. So far I have gotten the disease under control but symptoms keep popping up in another chicken every time one beats it. I have a few questions on how to proceed from here...
