Once again I am coming to the more experienced chicken keepers
My 5 wk. old Lavender Aracauna is showing symptoms of Coccidiosis. Yesterday, I noticed loose stool with blood in it. She's isolated now and crying for her 4 hatch mates. it's really heartbreaking.
I've dealt with Coccidisis...
Hi Everyone...
I have a Lavender Aracauna (yes, a true Aracauna) chick that was pipped and zipped about an hour ago. She was pretty tight in her egg and her pip was high on the large end of the egg. When she came out, I noticed a little red sac hanging from, what I though was, her vent. It...
My Bantam
Lavender Orpington roo's feet are very swollen. I started treating him for Bumblefoot, but my Avian vet said it doesn't look/act like it.
Anyway, in picking him up to inspect all over, I noticed this nasty fire-red rash on his chest. It has yellow scabs on it and looks painful...
Need to downsize my flock as soon as possible. I have 3 beautiful SF Cockerels with great temperaments. They've been raised as family pets and want a great home that will treat them as pets, also. They get along with each other, and my SF pullets. Asking $10. each, or I can set a lower price...
This is a new problem for Rosie, and seems serious to me, yet, she acts fine...maybe a little depressed? Her original story can be found here: Help! Young pullet brutalized by young cockerel
I've posted her condition in the above Thread but want to have the best chance at getting some...
When I let my Swedish Flower flock out to forage 3 days ago I noticed one of the pullets hopping on one leg and using her right wing for balance, placing the tip on the ground.
I picked her up, went all over her and found her right leg has no muscle mass, her left leg is strong and muscled...
I have a 5 mo LF Red Orpington pullet, and same age, breed cockerel. They've been together since birth and one doesn't go anywhere without the other.
Today I was out doing the weekly physical exams on everyone and picked this little girl up, turned her over, and all of her tail feathers are...
Of 3 eggs, 1 chick popped out, picture perfect all the way.
The 2 other eggs pipped, but haven't done anything since. They were moving around until about 7pm (PST)
One of the 2 still in the 'bator pipped this afternoon. Shortly after the 1st one was born, A CRACK APPEARED in egg 2 from where...
This morning, one of my Blue Orp Hens just didn't "seem" right. She was out free ranging (the area is fenced and I am with them). All she wanted to do is drink water. When I put her flock mates in their play area, she didn't follow them or seem to know they even left and continued standing at...
