    Chicken with Frostbite-Need help!Please!Pics

    Should I amputate the toe myself and how? Should I give it more time? I don't know if I could do it but if it will possibly save her, I'd suck it up and do it.

    Chicken with Frostbite-Need help!Please!Pics

    Thanks! Do I put a whole baby aspirin in her water? I don't want to overdose her. She did just try and walk around a bit for the first time since I brought her in. I feel so terrible for her. Our coop is heated but I think she may have stood in some snow for too long that was in their run...

    Hi, I have a sebright hen that got frostbite on her toe and leg. She's been in for 6 days and all she does is sleep. She eats very little and I can't even bribe her with scrambled eggs, oatmeal or any treats. The toe does not appear to be infected. I've been putting neosporin(without the...

    Japanese Bantam with Prolapsed Vent

    Thanks. I think you're probably right. I may not be pushing it in far enough. I'm so afraid of hurting her. I'm going to keep trying. She acts just fine. A happy little chicken. Anyone have any ideas on the dead tissue. Do you think it will fall off eventually?

    Japanese Bantam with Prolapsed Vent

    I have a japanese bantam with a prolapsed vent. I found her saturday evening when I was checking on my girls. She had an egg stuck to her and was bleeding. I managed to get the egg off without it breaking but I cant get the vent to stay in. How long can this take? I've been giving her warm...

    Very angry silkie! Do you think she'll forgive me?

    I thought I'd try it after seeing everyone else that had but it just didn't work for Delilah. She isn't having any of it! But there are some people that use them successfully with their chickens.

    Very angry silkie! Do you think she'll forgive me?

    She did look at me kinda funny this morning. lol Maybe she hasn't forgotten. In that case it's a good thing I'm going to work. Although, that does give her more time to plan her revenge.

    Very angry silkie! Do you think she'll forgive me?

    My poor hubby would be all excited when he saw the new thongs only to find out they are going on a chicken. Not sure I'll try it though. Delilah was looking a bit scary today. Fortunately she seems to have forgotten about it.

    Very angry silkie! Do you think she'll forgive me?

    I have one very upset chicken here. To make a long story short. She had 2 other sisters that turned into brothers and have been rehomed.

    7 Month Old Silkie Hen seems too skinny

    She doesn't have much of a comb at all. Mostly flat. She's not show quality. She only has four toes not five and a tiny little pouf on her head. She seems fine but I worry about her not eating enough. I've been separating her some of the time to give her extra food and treats now. She's my...
