I'll post more when she dries off and more later when she's a little older so we can see if this issue has long term affects.

Thank you so much!! I mixed up some electrolyte water and gave her some drops last night and she drank them. I put some antibiotic ointment and coconut oil on the area being absorbed to keep it moist and put her back in the bator overnight. When I woke up this morning she was finally on her feet...

I've had time to do more research on the forum here and it sounds like it may be the yolk wasn't finished absorbing. It has continued shrinking through the day and the picture below is what it looks like now. Any different opinions would be helpful but the chick is still alive and doesn't appear...

Hey everyone, I incubated some eggs from my hens. The incubator broke during incubation and only 1 hatched. I had a late egg I started 4 days after the others which was malpositioned and pipped externally last night because it was unable to pip internally. I proceeded to start the assisted...

So what ever happened with the egg??? Super curious as to whether you incubated it, cracked it open eventually, or what? I wanna know what was inside!!

I did, she was like a cat that's been made to wear doll clothes, And I had to take it off to take pictures, she was happier with it off.

I know this is an old thread, but your chickens injury resembles my chickens and I'm trying to decide what to do next. I don't know if you actively use BYC anymore but if you do, would you mind me DMing you through BYC with pictures and advice?

Update on the Pekin Pair!! The biggest one is a male! Just found out when I saw him mounting the female. I could hear a duck honking very loudly and went to inspect what was going on, and the biggest one clearly has a penis and was standing on top of the littler one. The little one escaped and...

I'll post updates to this Incase anyone has a similar injury with their bird. I hope this works!!

That's okay! Thanks anyways. This is a learning experience, I've washed her neck with a saline solution before wrapping it again with a pad with manuka honey and antibiotic cream on it, then wrapped it with gauze. I believe this will work. She is resting comfortably in a basket on my couch in...

Hi! Yes, well the vet is out of the question unfortunately because we're in dire straights right now after just moving and now needing to afford rent at $1500 a month for a 3 bedroom. Rent is ridiculously expensive and my hubby is working as a plumber journeyman 3 years into a 5 year program of...

Should I give her a bath or run her under warm water? I'm washing her wound with saline solution now and am going to attempt to wrap it again. What do you guys think?

Here's the feathers from the rooster and the amberlink Here's the scalped feathers from the back of her neck. Here's my poor roosters butt, he has piece of broken feathers stuck and the other birds have picked a couple out which he doesn't seem to mind for some reason, maybe because they need to...

Hi everyone! We had a dog attack last night and early this morning. Found my rooster last night in the mouth of said dog, brought him in and secured the coop and run. He had all of his wing span feathers and tail feathers out. Brought him out this morning to see his ladies. Seems to be doing...

I love this space and it's perfectly set up specifically for chickens and their needs. When I used to see a space like this before I had chickens I would think to myself, that looks messy and a little unpleasant to the eye. But my yard looks just like this now, with things I have put together...

Ya know, Its funny you say that because when the flowers fall over the fence into the yard I'll often find little peck bites out of the flowers and have never seen the chickens sick, I am very diligent about making sure I chuck the flowers back over the fence because I don't need little saplings...

So he has actually started trying to crow, well has twice one morning a week ago but hasn't tried again since so I'm not sure when he'll belt it out but he is taking his sweet time.

I have had the hardest time with an extremely invasive plant in my yard, I dug up the whole root system this past spring and it still pops up everywhere. Trumpet Vine or trumpet flower is poisonous, and itchy, for all animals and humans, and yes my chickens. The original plant is in my neighbors...

Ok thanks so much! I'll now commence my research on amberlinks, I love the little rabbit holes I get to go down with these chickens.

Hello!! I thought I hade a white rock hen, but am now noticing this strawberry blonde color seeping into her feathers. I thought it was dirt at first but it's the coloration of her feathers. Does anyone know if she is really a white rock or guesses as to what her breed might be? Just super curious!
