    Unfortunately no vets nearby who fool with chickens. I didn't see anything inside the beak. He won't open enough to see his throat. Will try the Nutridrench, should be able to find some at Tractor Supply . Really appreciate the help...we've had the boy for several years now, hate to lose him if...

    RI red rooster yellow exudate

    Hi Eggcessive, thank you for responding! No respiratory issues ever, neighbor has no chickens. ;Mucous appears to be from his mouth, not nostrils or eyes. I believe I hear a slight wheeze on occasion which makes me wonder if he's not aspirated. Crop is empty and he's very weak today. Not eating...

    RI red rooster yellow exudate

    Neighbors have been caring for my chickens while I was sick. Came home to this- poor guy isn’t eating and obviously looks pretty rough. All the hens have pasty butts too. No idea what to do for them, any help appreciated.

    Rhode Island Red Thread

    He's actually from Chattanooga. He was hand raised by a friend's family member, very friendly little thing. They have a very small flock and had both this bird and a gorgeous lavender buff orpington roo. I already have a RIR rooster though, so I'm going to have to find him a home.

    LOL! Sorry Sean, didn't see that you were from Ireland! I saw the $ in your post instead of the Euro sign. My bad :P

    What dog is best for guarding chickens?

    Great Pyrenees are fabulous dogs, their natural instinct is to guard...but as with any breed, they require training. No matter what dog you get, there's an investment in time and effort to ensure that you understand the dog, the dog understands you and what you want it to do, and what you don't...

    Okay, Coop Is Finished! Whaddya think? *PICS*

    What an amazing coop! Would you mind sharing how much it cost to build? I love all the detail...the egg finials, the rockwork, the awesome screened in walkway. The wallboard is an especially nice touch, easy cleaning, woot!
