Hi Pam, Your farm sounds like a great place for him! He's just such a sweet boy, I want him to have a happy little chicken life. He is back to his normal active self now, but still starts to limp if he overdoes it (its been just under two weeks since he sprained his leg). I've been...

We have the sweetest little rooster, Fitz, who needs to go to a loving home that feels their chickens are pets. He is just 13 weeks old. Fitz sprained his leg about 2 weeks ago and is now doing great, but this meant he was living inside with us and has become attached to us (and we've become...

They have all be rehomed!

Simon, our 12 weeks old bantam white cochin roo is pretty sweet and really adorable. His crowing is starting to sound a bit more... like a crow. He also has frizzle genes and his feet are getting ridiculously fluffy, LOL. We also have, I am pretty sure, 2 bantam light brahma roos and a bantam...

The towel is a great idea. My silkie is a sweetheart and only 12 weeks old, so my heart is breaking for her. Did you just use a saline eye flush from the store? I just don't know how all that stuff is going to drain from her head?!?!?

LOL. I'll have to try that!

Thank you. I am heading to the feed store to get the drops. No one else is showing symptoms yet. I have a whole new flock and they are all 9-12 weeks. She is 12 weeks. She is still totally alert and active. Doesn't seem to have labored breathing or in other distress. It's why I'm trying to fight...

I'm really hoping anyone has an idea on this? Has anyone seen this before?

new pictures...

Thank you for the reply. She is on Oxytetracycline in the water and I am helping deliver it to her via a syringe, which she accepts. She is not eating. Her face is so swollen her beak no longer lines up. But she is active and alert (and upset about being by herself). Any other ideas who I can...

Any ideas on what I am dealing with? Planning on getting ACV and antibiotics, but I know different antibiotics work for different things and if it's viral they won't help. She's separated, warm and dry now, but we've had some pretty wet weather the last few days. I just saw this this morning...

Thank you!

Oops. Vancouver, WA outside of Portland.

Our sweet boy is a bantam white cochin with frizzle genes, or a straight feathered frizzle. Raised around dogs, kids, people and on organic feed. He just started crowing at 8 weeks. We will have too many roosters in our new flock to be able to keep him, so I am looking for a loving home for him...

I think you're right. I'm assuming these guys were breed from a silkie/cochin maybe and just ended up with the cochin genes bc my other two frizzles have the cochin fuzzy legs. I also have a black sizzle who has straight feathers, and I think is a roo. I'm hoping to do some egg hatching...
