I have had 2 chickens die and another came ill. The conclusion was avian pox and a respiratory ailment for one of the deceased. I gave my sick roo 1cc of Tylan 50 for 4 days, once a day. He doesn't act sick except for that he is still walking heavy and walks with his legs bent. Will this go...
I have 4 female ducks. 3 pekin and 1 Muscovy. I found an egg Wednesday and another yesterday. I'm thinking it belongs to my Muscovy. How often do pekins and Muscovies lay? Will pekins lay this late or wait until spring? (They haven't started laying yet)
I have a Polish hen that has been ill, so I brought her in the house for chicken ICU. My question is, how will re introduction go? I am seeing awesome improvement in her and kinds figured that eventually, she will be well enough to go back with her flock mates.
I STILL have a sick hen. Her symptoms are: losing voice (sounds hoarse), sleeps A LOT, can't seem to use her right leg (toes are curled and walks with leg bent down) (not broken), starting to gape her mouth (respiratory illness?)
I She has been on Duramicin-10 since Saturday, also vitamins. I am...
She can't hardly stand, but when she does, it's one leg WAY behind the other. Her pupils are dilated, making her eyes look black. She's hungry and will eat, she just looks like she is drunk all the time. I keep feeding her water through a dropper and she will find her food and eat. She's getting...
It started two days ago when I found her upside down and couldn't turn back over. Since then, it's been down hill. I can get her to drink water through a dropper, and she's eating some scrambled eggs. She's just laying around. No mites, lice or wounds.
My polish hen looks swollen on one side of her body along her wing and back. It makes her head look like it's pushed to the side a bit. She has no open wounds. What could cause this?
I have a male and female Muscovys. My husband told me my female was flying this morning. I'm terrified she will fly over my fence (she's done it before) and the dog next door will hurt or kill her. I went outside and caught her so I could clip her wings. She wasn't so bad. I've held her a few...
I put fake eggs in my coop because I have 3 that will start laying soon. I went back to check on the fake eggs and it looked like my chickens had a game of kick ball with them.
Today, my son and I were at a little corner store in Round hill Ky (Butler Co.) I was getting ready to go into the store when something caught my attention. I saw a critter move under a truck. I kept watching it trying to figure out what it was... When I started walking towards it, it hopped and...
I have decided to go hunting just to see what the hype is all about.... I like guns, camping nature, 4 wheelers so why not? Are there any other tom boys out there?
Ok, I saw someone post that a BO roo will be two toned colored... I have 3 that ALL worry me. I'm only allowed two and have two crowers now.
One
two
three
^^major two tone!!
This chicken was found a few weeks ago and I'm not certain what breed/gender it is... Not sure of the age either, but I have a cochin about the same size and he's13 weeks
When putting food/water out for my flock this morning, I saw something I've never seen befote. One of my 12 week old BO haf want looked like standing oil on her feather lines. Is that normal?
I sit in my back yard quite a bit. Lately there has bee a hawk stalking my yard bird. The funny thing, is I have roosters EVERYWHERE! The one I THOUGHT would be aggressive towards outside birds, isn't.
When this hawk swooped, my mean, stink eye giving, chasing the dog, growling, Mr Redd does...
Sharing flock pics is a lot of fun, so I'll share mine
These guys are itsy bitsy here...
Such big guys! Buffy ended up Buff after he crowed instead of laying an egg. Redd was ALWAYS Redd
Dirty Boys
Daily stare down between T Bone and Buff.... Buff wins every time
