I was given a rooster yesterday who had been in a cat box for 10 hours with only popcorn to eat, yes wrong on many levels. Anyway he won't stand up. He is eating and drinking voraciously(I put rooster booster in his water) I felt his legs, they appear fine. He grips when I hold his claws. Any...
It's either broken or bumble foot or something? How do I treat it. It is hurting him and has gotten bigger every day for the last 3 days.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
My male turkey, Mr T, has a problem with his toe. I'm not sure what is wrong with it but we're going to grab him tonight while I have reinforcements. So what should I do? how will I know what's wrong with it? How should I treat it? Any thoughts appreciated!!
Hi
I'm new to turkeys. I incubated 8 bronze heritage eggs which were born the 2nd week of May. All but 1 went to a friend. The 1 I have has tremors when she lifts her leg to walk. She'll hold it up and shake for 45 sec then pick up the next leg and shake, etc. then she'll run around and it will...
So my newest dilemma! My black copper maran who had some feathers missing and a little cut, I believe from her clueless rooster, that I put Blu-kote on now has a gaping hole in her back probably due to hen pecking (I'd take a pic but she is hiding under the bathtub) so from what I've read on...
I have 9 hens, 7 are laying. 2 Copper Marans are taking their sweet time (Are they typically late to POL?)
My swedish flower hen started laying about 3 weeks ago. Gang buster, egg every day in the nesting boxes. (The rest always lay in the nest boxes) She stopped laying about a week ago when...

Hi
New to chickens and so far we have the one worst stains of Mareks, coccidia, too many horney roosters with frost bite and its freezing here. But please tell me green earlobes on a chicken is normal. Not sure if I could handle another sickness!
Good morning. We have Mareks, a very virulent strain of it and its breaking my heart so in the future I'm hoping to start off with the odds in our favor. We live in upstate NY so need a cold hardy breed. I had hoped to have a rainbow of eggs but so far my Easter Eggers have been hit hard, (4 out...
I have lost 2 chickens this week to I don't know what. 1st one stayed on the roost so around 10am we took him off, i gave him some water, he squeaked, gurgled and he died in my arms (americana 4 1/2 months old) 2nd one, a few days later, I could tell wasn't acting right (Cream crested legbar...
