Well that explains why mine keeps jumping on top nesting box roof sqwaking 🤣. We eventually put a nesting box on the roof & now she lays there(the sister, I have 2) One of them sounds like a duck😅
The bully is relentless but was our sick baby runt so we love her. We did indeed just add alternate nesting box. We now have 5 boxes for 5 chickens🤣. She actually laid one today. Idk of I helped but when she went in the coop squaking I gave her lots of verbal encouragement. 🤷♀️
I have a Wyandotte who got her neck feathers plucked by Barred Rock bully. She stopped laying for about 2 weeks but continued to be noisy like she does before laying. So I soaked her in warm water with Epsom salt, dried her off and bam, she laid for 5 days. Now she has stopped again but is...
I will. I just grabbed her and I don't see any on her. I see quite a few new feathers I guess? Kinda looks like porcupine spikes. Also I did hear a little more gurgle but nothing like before. And an occasional cough I guess...it's not a sneeze, I've heard those. I'll check the roost after dark...
I keep the coop cleaned. I even rake out poop from the run daily or every other day
We did just have 3 windy (very) cooler days & nights here in San Antonio
She no longer sounds gurgly after 1 dose of colloidal Silver & 1drop Vetrx oral, also applied to comb & waddles. Weird? Or have I caught it really early? She's out foraging now.

No mucus or eye bubbles she sounds gurgly, and that started today. But before that I noticed she was sitting separately , with the others sitting near her for a few hours mid day.
Wow!!! I ordered the med on the link. Thank you so much. I'm going to stop the auto delivery of meal worms. I tried to take over giving only a handful per day when I realized he was giving 5 hens 3 cups a day!!! And yes they seem underweight to me
Just thought I would try colloidal Silver first. It helped one last year with breathing problem but this sounds different. The other was hoarse. This is absolutely a gurgle
No. I did the eqiluimax last. I don't do the Scratch everyday but my husband just won't stop with "treats" no matter how many times I say a treat isn't everyday. He's an ass when it comes to this, and is retired
I did for the first time put lime on the ground. The dewormer worked for all.of them at .1ml in the fall. And there is some stress as another is isolated for bad behavior with 3 days left. New Country Organics layer feed and scratch since of age. Dried meal worms treats. All the same for over a...
Diet hasn't changed. They forage morning & evening in the back yard. New Organics layer crumble with scratch & dried mealworms as a daily treat. All same for the last year. Apple Cider Vinegar in water in the summer. Now I'm scared of Mareks after seeing another feather loss post. I'm going to...
I'm aware of the inaccurate pea size dose. I did
.1 on 1ml syringe
It did seem to work last time. What would mites look like & would they make her feathers fall off? Wouldn't the rest have them? They have 3 dust bath areas including the sand under my pool deck, regular dirt with a little DE...
They were all treated with ivermectin pour on drops in January as prevention
And all dewormed with paste for the same segments in the fall, all of them had worm segments.
