Thanks YC I could do wtih a bit of luck with my chooks, as you know I have lost a couple of gals recently and I still have two roosters, Joffrey and his son. They dont get on so Im looking around for a new good home for him. It such a pity these guys dont get on like other animals, it a sad...
Hi I posted pics about a week or so ago and its difficult to say. There was thoughts that this one was a guy and there again not. I am praying she is a gal. She is a Poland and about 9 weeks old now.
Thanks for any thoughts.
My two little white polands, I feather sexed them at about 2 days old and accordingly It appeared they were girls. But I have a hunch im in for some bad luck and they may be boys. They are about 8 weeks old now. I wonder if anyone would have their own idea. Maybe i should wait a bit longer...
What a lovely article CCUK thank you its a sad thing but makes one realize how we have to adapt to these situations and that others can understand the difficulties we all go through.
Thank you so much for your support and advise. Im so glad that you say I have done the right thing. I keep trying to tell myself that. We appreciate our chickens and im spending lots of time out with them especially at this time. My stomach is churning as its a difficult stage for us to get...
IM getting over things everybody and thank you all tons for the support advices and hugs. I just wanted to mention that the vet said she seems to have the symptoms of mericks and suggested he send a sample off to be checked. the cost to me would have been £150 for that analysis and I am not a...
Lectra, you deserve to fly with the Angels. You were a true lady, you were very polite and cared about your chicken friends. A great loss. Rest in Peace.
Thank you CCUK I guess this is something we can share and understand the pain as being humans seeing this going on, Its the way things are I guess. I think there is a cost to check them for Mareks, The odd thing is that both silkies had the issue within 48 hours of each other and all the other...
I see you are going through very similar issues. We do our best for these little ones that we dearly love and it does hurt us, I guess theres a lot they dont understand which is maybe a good thing. All the best to your little one.
Thank you CCUK its hard seeing them get ill. I phoned a vet and its less than £19 to have hear euthenised, which isnt too bad, the problem is the vets I called are very busy. At the moment she is ok just sitting there looking around, i guess a bit like if they were siting on eggs, just looking...
Well she is stable made some improvement breifly. She doesnt move but seems quite content like she is sitting on eggs. I have to still hand feeder and of course she cant walk. I am unsure if she is sufferrig at times. I walk around the garden holding her and I place her where she sits...
Thank you CCUK and everyone who have helped and pointed me in the right direction. She was still alive this morning so I gave her some of her layers pellets mashed a bit with a bit of vitamin and some water. She has just been eating well whilst sitting on my lap i the garden and I have given...
