I have four chicks that I purchased at a local co-op that were from a hatchery. I need to know if they are boys or girls because I have until the end of the weekend to switch any out that I need to. My housing addition does not allow roosters - at all.
I have 4 chicks.
Astrolorpe - Originally...
So far so good. She seems to be improving. She actually hopped with both feet yesterday! I am giving her the vitamins twice a day as you suggested and the rest of the flock once a day just to make sure. Thank you for all your help!!!!!
How long should I continue? Couple of weeks? Longer?
A little over a week ago my cat jumped up 3' and reached into the dog crate I have my chicks in and swipe one of my babies on the head.
At the time there was blood on her head but I could not find any other damage. I put vetericyn on the wound. My cat's claws were super sharp at the time...
I treated my flock about 3 months ago with elector PSP for what I thought were mites. I cleaned out the coop and thoroughly sprayed it also. I have not seen or felt any little critter's since then.
I just examined one of my girls. She has had ascites for years. She had some poop on her...
I just cleaned the cage - and her - after a huge runny poop. She will not drink water alone, but will eat food in water. Yes, she is so weak. I feel like a horrible chicken mom for not noticing earlier.
I came out of my meeting and she had moved, though still laying down. She ate quite a bit of the wet food. Her right eye opened up fine. Her head is still a little jerky. I believe she is trying to sleep. Leaving her alone for now. Holding my breath...
I gave her the vitamins and put her back into the cage. She did open her eyes and is eating the eggs again. Her right foot is contracted.and she is now leaning to the right. I have to step away from her for an hour. Concerned what I will find when I get back.
Her eyes look normal when I can get her to open them. She was stumbling so badly I don't know if one leg was weaker. I will try to get her to eat wet food and vitamins.
Thank you for the resource.
I purchased a an Easter egger pullet approximately 6 months ago from a local farm. She has been feisty and vocal ever since I got her. She was picked on grossly by the chickens where she was and is the low man on the totem pole in my flock, however, she was able to recover well. When I brought...
I tried to reply to this, but it looks like it did not post. You can't really see the swelling in pictures, but her legs are wider apart than normal. Her poops look totally fine - totally normal. Her appetite is VERY good. I just don't know what to do. Where do I get fish mox? Could I go to my...
