Thank you chuckchuck . I hope the rest of your friends flock is as lucky. You are so right on many points. Your friend has a caring ally in you :-)17 :-)08

True that... but not wanting to pick an argument... there's a strong argument why not to give anti bios. But lets not go into it. Cleanliness, quarantine, tonics and attentiveness is all I use. If I loose a chook I will do an ortopsy at need and if a chook looks like it's suffering too much I...

Hiya Bordercreek Welcome from deepest darkest Devon :-)99

If it is poison there are only two types I can think might get into a chook without it being a plant. Rat/mouse or slug. Either of these will potentialy be fatal. A quiet box with water and a lot of hope .... :-)06 However .. have you checked the crop ? It could be impacted .. that can...

Hi guys :-)99 I'm trying my skills at picture resizing. Here's the Favs I got from our very own Foxy :D I won't bother with the muts, but yesterday I was given (read "paid little for" to help someone out) a pile of other chooks :-)11 :shock: I might post picks of some before they have...

Advice please. All but (possibly) 4 eggs of the 15 eggs that are set in my Suro20 have hatched and continue as we speak. (First out was at 13.25 yesterday) The older chicks are quite liveley and occationaly charge around stomping one and all. I have the brooder ready for when the last egg has...

Hi all. Your opinions please. I noticed yesterday that one of my ex-Bats had a very dark comb develop overnight. I watched and went about my business for a while. (After checking to see the vent was not messy or behaviour different etc) :| After a couple of hours I had noticed the "Purple"...
