Re: [CHICKENS-101] my sick babies

 

I'd probably label it as stress from their illness, but has it turned cold where you are?  My laying chickens aren't laying much either right now.  Could you add lights in your hen house to lengthen the daylight hours?

first of all, thanks to all of you that answered me two weeks ago about my babies. they were all congested, wheezing, and had eyes swollen shut. i ended up giving them .5ml of tylan 50 and .5ml of B complex, and they have all recovered. again, thanks to all that responded.

HOWEVER, i have another issue now. prior to them getting sick, they were cutting back eggs to 2-3 aday. (i have 11 hens and they will all be a year old the last week of november). for two weeks now, we havent gotten any eggs at all. i understand them not laying while ill, but they have been well for at least a week now. but i am still not getting any eggs.

does anyone have any suggestions or words of encouragement or experience that they could pass along to me?? i am feeding them purina laying crumbles and oyster shells and whole kernal corn as scratch feed thrown into the yard. thanks in advance for the help
