Hello, I recieved the final report dor my girl. She had leukemia. From what I can understand, it had invaded her entire system. She had always been a calm girl. So I didn't notice her becoming more calm. But I look back and I can now see she had been sick for a while. So the illness was not...

Hello and thank you. We loved her. She was a unique character. I still miss her. I did send her to do a necropsy at UC Davis. So far preliminary report is nothing to be seen.

Hello!!! She actually spent a good amount of time outside in the front garden area. She was like a dog, in and out. She sunned on the deck, dust bathed in her corner and shredded my plants to her hearts content. I loved her. I took her to Davis to have a necropsy done. I have a preliminary...

Oh OK. Well she's still amazing and sweet. I'd love to know what she is. Thank you!

Her diet is regular all feed. She's also supplemented with red lettuce, fruit, applesauce, eggs, salmon. I've never wormed her. Her vet called back and she's clear of worms and or parasites so we're now waiting on the giardia test to come back. All her symptoms tell me coccidiosis but she's not...

I just got a call from the vet and she's clear of parasites but we're still waiting for the giardia results. She's never been wormed since she's been house raised and lives inside with me. I have checked for mites and I see nothing. I check my outside girls as well and have only seen it on one...

I will. I'm desperate to help her.

I have a 4 year old old english hen. She was hand raised and has the love of all of us. However she is ill. At first I thought coccidiosis. She has all the symptoms, but the bloody stool. The Corid isn't working but she's still on it. She has a gray comb and wattles. No sneezing, no wheezing...

She did. We all love her. So I'm going to accept that she's a buff seabright. She doesn't have the lacing but it doesn't matter. She's perfect how she is.

Sorry this comes so late. I didn't think of a seabright! From what I can gather she came from a breeder farm here in town. However I don't speak Spanish and it's hard to get my questions through and his answers back. So as far as I know, she's a purebred. But what breed? Haven't a clue. I really...

It could be sadness or depression. Chickens are flock birds. Roosters are affectionate whether it's to us or the girls. Since he's young, he's got a bit of an overload of testosterone right now and has trouble controlling himself. He will mellow with age. It would be better for him to be housed...

We named her Lulu. My neighbor didn't want her and she was gifted to him along with a black serama. She's suppose to be pure whatever she is, from a breeder. She's so tame and she's so gentle. She scratches to be picked up, yells at the front door to be let out or in. She's slightly bigger than...

She's a bantam. So she's very small.

Omg. Where are you located? Or what vet will do this for you? I have been looking for this option for the longest time. There are you tube videos but there's no way I will do it without anesthesia.. please let me know the name of the vet. It's worth a drive or plane.

I was given this little hen from a neighbor. Apparently his friend thought he wanted her and he didn't, so I have her. But I can't figure out her breed. Thanks for the help!
