That's a beautiful dog kennel, I wish mine looked like that! We used to have 12 dogs, 7 now but 4 are hunting dogs and 3 male so they can get seriously aggressive with each other and strangers if they pet any of the females...
I finally found a body of one of the baby chickens. Looked like it was grabbed a few times and escaped, but maybe died from stress of running in the dark? It's hard to tell. And of course it was my favorite one that I found. No one else has showed up that I can see, and definitely no babies. I...
I'm seeing 0/6 of the babies and 17/19 of the older chickens. I know each one separately but they keep moving around too much for me to figure out who's missing... Out of the babies I had my first two leghorns from my hatch.
I'm pretty mad right now, a fox decided to go into the baby chicken tractor and get all 6. Or at least I can't find any of them. The fox also got in with the big chickens and a couple I can't find, but 5 have come back. We shot at the fox but it ran.
The rooster is still the same, but more lethargic. His poop now stinks really bad, the levels of smell increasing. I have been changing out the pad he is on every couple of hours. He won't stand and kinda flops on one side with his wings droopy. His head is the only thing that moves, and only...
I can understand your feelings right now. I myself would seperate the hen from the other chickens and only give her the Wazine. Maybe a dog crate or something else. Food and only water is Wazine. If you give it to the other chickens they may not drink it, and get dehydrated. I had this happen...
Sorry about the chick. I think everyone has different viewpoints on when it's time to let something go. I personally say it's sometimes good to help, but other times it's going to go, so let it. I don't like hospitals keeping people alive for amounts of time being tube fed, never recovering...
I would be willing to do a necropsy if he dies. Though I'm really hoping he doesn't. I haven't put my hopes up yet, just my mind wandering and thinking about other possibilities and anything that causes it. Diagnosing is hard... I wish I could speak chicken. That would make it so much easier.
She might just be sleeping on the eggs... Try moving them over a few feet and see what happens. Being off them for that long would definently kill anything developing.
I put food and water in there for him again, and this time he ate a ton and drank a lot! He touched nothing last time. Maybe he just has severe diarrhea, but I don't really think so. He just looks like he's too tired and maybe heat exhaustion of some sort? We had a bunch of cold days with harsh...
Well, BYC tells me that Kathy has been offline for at least half an hour. I'm going to put him in a crate with food and water and hope for the best I guess...
My dad and my family go to the Ducks Unlimited dinners, Ducks Unlimited is an organization. And a couple years ago we bought a ton of raffle tickets, and folded each one and put them in. No one else folded theirs, and out of 50 guns available to choose from that night, we won 27. It was so crazy...
He isn't thin. He's got a pretty large keel, seemingly perfect to me. I can't find anything on his skin except his neck, but I think that's just where he's been pecked because a lot of the hens are still bigger than him.
His poop looks just like in the pictures from The Chicken Chick. The same to me. The one in the nest box is full of the poop that looks like the picture.
