Ok! Went out and got her and checked her out and everything is fine. It was just some white poop that had gathered up on her feathers under her butt. Got it all off and clipped the feathers around there and put her back out. She's fine! Whew!!! Scared me so bad. She is one of my special girls...

That sounds great! I hope that's all it is and just poo or something like that. Yep, I wouldn't want to keep her in and separated if it wasn't necessary since she only has her sister and the baby out there with her, and they all get along great right now. Wouldn't want that to change. I hope...

I have noticed that my hen has not had her usual egg in her place for about the past 4 days. I just thought that she might not be laying or that she had laid somewhere else as she has been known to do before. But tonight when they started to go up for bedtime, I noticed that her rear was messy...

My roosters "gamecocks" are not aggressive to people at all and are like pets mostly, even the one that jumped on the "baby" (rooster that died of this thread), he is a very good daddy to the baby chicks and when the mother will no longer have anything to do with them and runs them away, Jr will...

Oooh! Good advise! I certainly will not EVER bend down where he could get to my face. He is not playing at all! When I had to treat him for lice once my husband and I had to get our gear on and go out at night while he was on roost and he had to hold him while I did the treatments to him...

So then apparently, the gamefowl rooster is a more aggressive of the rooster breeds? I know that I have an Australorp, that we got from some old people what didn't want their flock anymore and wanted someone to take them. He was the only rooster and 3 RIR, 2 Dominique or Barred Rock, I don't...

Well, I now have only 1 rooster free ranging, All the others have pens and even my last little cockerel from the last litter is in his own pen and I have to take him in and out on cold nights and stormy days and keep him in the shop during the bad weather, which he doesn't seem to mind. He has...

BTW, I am not a male! I am actually a female, if that makes any difference to you Centra.

What do you mean Centrachid by "at least in part"? It does involve free range chickens altogether. The problem was that he didn't have girls of his own and he wanted some (girls of his own that is). Typical male.

I have 63 acres here with lots of open space and also lots of woods around. Large areas, which is why I thought that the too would keep their borders, as they have up until recently. I have not had problems with them until about a week ago when I first had to break up the fight between them, so...

I will take a picture of Jr and post it after while so you all can see the culprit of this. He isn't near as pretty as the baby, but they are related, just that the baby takes more after his daddy than Jr does. The baby looks just like his daddy that was killed in an effort to save one of his...

Yep! I was warned also, but like you, I just thought that it would work out and the baby would realize that Jr. would whip his butt, and he would quit! I guess maybe the type of roosters may also play a part in that also, but everyone has told me that you can't have more than 1 rooster out...

Thanks so much Michael, you are so right! I have been warned also. I live on lots of acres also but my baby didn't have any girls of his own and he was just getting to the age to be wanting to fill his oats so to speak. I guess he figured that since Jr has 7 girls that he wouldn't miss 1 anyway...

You are so right, I know this is one of the reasons that my rooster didn't make it, since he would not eat or drink since the fight. Don't know if he wasn't able to eat or drink or if he was just too much in pain to try but I couldn't get enough water in him. I even resorted to making a mixture...

I do have a big bottle of the Penicillin G stuff, can that be used on cats and dogs also? I thought that it could be used on all animals. I will get some of that Baytril also though. I am getting a nice emergency cabinet started now, have syringes and a box of 20 gauge needles, Tylan injectable...

Th reason that I'm not on here as much as I used to be is because I have an online shop on Etsy and it takes up all of my time right now with the Christmas season shopping going on, so I haven't had the time to get on here like I used to and just read and research like I used to do. Just came on...

Thanks Chicknmania, I couldn't have stated it better myself. As you personally know, I have been successful at bringing some of my birds back from the point of death, with help from my friends here on BYC and medical intervention. I am very thankful for all the help that so many on here are able...

Centrachid, Well all I can say is that you are very blessed or lucky that you haven't had any issues with your animals, since as you can see from this site that there are many people that do, that I'm sure love and care about their animals or they wouldn't be on here trying to get help for them...

Hey Kitty! I would not let her back out with them as the wounds will not just scab overnight. Karen has a good idea on penning off a place for her where they can't get to her. If you put her back out with them they will continue to peck her as they will do that to chickens with bare spots. I...

If you get the Valbazen, it only takes a very small amount about pea sized on a small piece of bread given to each chicken individually. Check on here and ask about how much ect before you do it though to see what other more professional people say about it. Ask Dawg.
