Awww thnx. Definitely a horrible experience. Also since the hurricane we can’t know if something got in the pond water etc. everything has been quarantined around here so there’s just no telling what happened.
Thanks guys. I looked it up and I guess it’s possible. I have 60 chickens so I definitely don’t know who’s laying and who’s not. I don’t know if there’s a way to keep up with that. This is all new to me. I will definitely try to watch more closely. She didn’t have any of the other symptoms...
Thank y’all. This support really helps. You aren’t prepared for these things when you start raising animals. So happy to have a “support group” . Now I’m gonna go have a glass of wine
Well I had written yesterday about her belly being really swollen and plucked clean. None of the other chickens have messed with her at all. Today most her insides were dragging the ground but she was just walking around and panting a little. My neighbor came over and put her out of her...
Also I treat them for mites periodically but I'll check again. She looks extremely healthy otherwise. Some of the chickens do have fowl pox though, but I don't think it has anything to do with that.
No. It was before the hurricane but it's all mowed now for a couple weeks.
well I really didn't want to press it so I'll have to check that and get back with you. I think on the squishy side though. It's just so big and really hot
I am new to this and ordered chick and ducklings in March. One of my bantams is broody I think and I'm just wondering if she's old enough to raise chicks or should I keep taking her eggs and make her wait?
Hi I'm new to all this. I have 9 hens and two roosters. I also have 2 geese who have already laid, and 5 ducks. Just hoping to find a helpful community as I'm learning and also give back from what I've learned!!
