My girl had some poop in her rear so I picked her up to clean her and realized the vent looks prolapsed but it also looks like she has a scab/infection.
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Easter egger about 5 years old and...
Howdie,
So my beautiful CoHo is one dainty Salmon Favorelle. She has a huge hernia on her belly and for some reason her feet always bleed. She has feathers coming in and I am sure she hits it or something. She is appx. 12 weeks old and has been in incubation for a bit bc she had some...
Howdie,
So my gal Coho the Salmon Favorelle has a hernia on her stomach and the vet said she's ok until it rips open or she pecks at it (she's had it since the beginning). Today I noticed a scab on the hernia so I went to clean it and put ointment on it and realized she has a huge scab on her...
my pullet has the same thing. She is about 10 weeks now and the vet said it's a hernia. She just stands around all day (rarely sits, i am guessing bc of the hernia) do you think we need to put her down bc we don't want her suffering. Also, if you are going to say something like, "it's just a...
No....we drilled into the bottom black plastic but not the actual coop. I will take close up pics tomorrow so you can see how we did it. This thing is a friggin' lifesaver!
Howdy ya'll so I just went outside to bring the girls some treats and saw a bobcat walking on the top of the fence. He was trying hard to figure out how to get to the girls (**** that thing was scary). Putting a clear roof on once winter is over here in Colorado which is at the end of May :(...
Breed: So we bought 15 chicks and I kept 4. I am unsure of these two though. The gray should be a Blue Orpington and the black should be a Black Copper Maran. I am afraid that it could be one of the other varieties we got with the order. They were Blue Copper Maran, Barred Rock or Olive Egger...
I am looking to pick up 3 or 4 of the following. Preferably a variety. Understand that some of the rarer breeds are more expensive. I can pick up this week or next and will drive 150 miles from zipcode 80302, FEMALE only!
Black Copper Maran
Blue Orpington
Dominique - not rare, can get from...
Oh no im so sorry to hear about ur chick that didn't make it. That is my problem too if the door shuts the chicks are screwed especially with constant 60+ mph winds in the winter. Did you look at the link with the post I put up???
anyone have one of these, http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-VueZone-Video-Monitoring-System/dp/B009SPUYP4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=0YR0S54QH4JKD0XTZF4N
Thank you so much where did you purchase your cams?? We no longer have FiOS like in NJ but are on Skybeam and get ok access 18up and 15 down with the speedtest just performed.
So I am trying to find a video recorder that is wireless and even better would be to run on batteries. Since I fractured my ankle, it is much harder for me to make sure all the girls (8 total) make it into the coop. I have never had a problem but it helps me sleep better at night knowing they...
So we hang our metal feeder under the coop and it's raised about 12" from the ground. Do I need to still be worried about mice eating it? Can't wait to buy Grandpa's Feeder.
Also, can someone recommend a feeder that can be on the ground that won't let them spill pellets everywhere. It's...
