Anyone?

Unfortunately, we don't have a vet nearby. Thank you, though!

17 weeks old? I'm pretty sure you have a rooster.

I'm not a very experienced chicken owner either, but I think I read somewhere (I do a lot of reading) about someone whose chicken's tongue fell off. Apparently chickens can survive just fine without their whole tongues, so I think your chicken will be fine. Did the vet say you should put...

Henley Reeves, one of my Delaware hens, has a severe prolapsed vent that I'm guessing comes with vent gleet (due to the stink), and I'm not sure what to do next. We've soaked it in epsom salt and applied antibiotic cream (without pain killer). However, when we tried to push the vent back in...

Please? We're trying to sew it up with thread but she keeps fighting it. She's a strong little bugger.

My hen, Speckles, seems to have been the victim of a raccoon attack on our coop. Her throat has been ripped in the front and her tongue is hanging out. We haven't done anything so far other than clean the wound with water and rubbing alcohol. What should we do next? We don't have a vet...

I have my flyer and my contract ready! Both are totally unprofessional, but please give me pointers! Flyer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JQH9TqczFetHomjsnX9l3ohKsMzHs-IFX90FFpqKV7c/edit?usp=sharing Contract...

Thanks, I'll prepare different shoes for each coop. Or, bring some disinfectant.

Thank you for all of the advice! I'm getting the word around to all of my friends, who all seem to know at least one family with chickens in the area.

Another thing... I don't own other fowl, but I have done research on them. Do you think I could offer pet-sitting for all types of fowl? I don't think anyone around here owns geese, but there are definitely duck owners.

Thanks! Library is a good idea... or somewhere like a park. In fact, I'll make a flyer right now!

Thanks for your support! I think I'll stick with $10 a day. Do you think I should post an ad on BYC's Buy-Sell-Trade?

I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow. The only thing the feed store here offers is Purina Layena, so they're on that stuff. All of the rest of my ladies have full, lustrous capes, but not these two.
