Again I want to thank you for replying back when you did. What you said was i keeping her alive for her sake or for mine . Made me realize i was doing it for me as I felt like I left her down when I could not figure out what happened to her . We did not have dry ice. But my husband did the...

Thank u for a quick reply. I took her to an avian vet when first noticed when she was a couple months . Very disappointed expected something for that trip and money. Maybe he did not like to work with chickens . So what I learned was from backyard chickens. Do you think carbon monoxide wouldbe...

I never received a repky to this post but have been using all suggestions mentioned on other posts. My poor little hen still has twisted leg on one leg and other leg joint seems to want to pop backwardsat times. She cant stand any more. I am now having to come to the hard decision to put her...

Well back again . Have four young cochins that are about 3 months old. They all seemed fine but about a month ago noticed one was turning one leg sideways. I have tried the sling, the chair splinting and wrapping it. The leg can be slowly brought back in position and she can move her toes. Now...

after my chickens were attacked , I set a havaheart trap out and put the poor hen in that he killed as bait. Never came back to the dead hen . My hens were sitting on some eggs. Had to put them in an incubator. So far four hatched, one lived a day and died, something was wrong with its back...

I would like to sign the petition , when I see those trucks carrying those poor chickens it makes me want to become a vegetarian. I think it is cruel . they are stacked on top of each other and no matter what the weather is they are not protected. Probably half of them are dead before they...

thank you for your welcome. this is a great forum. people are so nice. Donna

thank you for your reply. I got rid of the maggot eggs. But on closer examination the hens beak is shredded up past her nostrils and are not there anymore. So sad because she is perky but there is just an open that her tongue comes out. she does drink from a syringe, but cant exist like that...

Hi I am and am a new member. Monday night I had a hen killed and a rooster and another hens head torn up so badly that I guess I will have to have to have them euthanized today. The culprit was a raccoon. He was still in the coup. My roosters head is badly torn up and his beak is split on...

I posted my questions at the wrong place. Thanks to all of you who welcomed me and for directing me to the right area. I have standard cochins, 10 of them. possibly eight after this. Monday night we got home a little after dark , I let my chickens out during the day. shut them in at night...
