warning: long story my little girl, our og, passed away on the 29th of january, 22:36 AEST. this was the last chicken i had left of the very first 7 we got in 2018. i’m 14 years old, so i was in primary school the day my dad picked me up. there was a box on the back of the ute, i asked him...

that’s what i was thinking, just needed another opinion lol thank you

this is my boy jeff. he was rehomed on the 6th january, 2022. we got him in the last half of 2018 (maybe 2019?) along with his brother, harry. harry had some stomach issues and passed away only a few weeks after bringing them home. jeff then became attached to our old dog, tonka. he actually...

aww, i had a chick that looks like the one in the middle. her mum is currently in a towel laying on my bed right now, she’s sick:(

hey guys

where i am it’s in the mid 20s (celsius) so i’m doing good. we actually were in the 30s a few days ago

I have a rooster and a motion activated light, as well as 2 dogs (but quite frankly i can’t rely on them as one is old and they both sleep up st the house and probably wouldn’t wake to a predator). my chicken house is an old wooden childs playhouse so it has flooring already. we also have a tree...

i think her age is finally catching up to her. i haven’t tried the sugar water yet but i’m going to do my best to make her comfortable. i should have mentioned before, she hasn’t been acting herself for the past few weeks. her condition has worsened and now she isn’t eating, but she still drinks...

someone mentioned that what i’m seeing may be dead skin, which i think is the case. it covers the top of her cloaca, but doesn’t actually come inside of it.

i feel extremely terrible saying this but the best thing to do would be to put him down. a chicken without legs wouldn’t be able to live it’s life the way it should be lived, even if he does seem happy, it’s only a matter of time. i personally wouldn’t be able to cull a chicken myself, so the...

do you have a photo? dogs usually don’t mean to hurt or kill the chickens when they bite out, but they don’t realise how strong they are and how fragile chickens are.

9 is very old for a chicken, but mites are infamous in my coop for causing death. we tried everything; placing herbs in and around the coop, making our own sprays, but then we were advises to use Pestene and within 2 days the mites were gone. you just have to spend a bit of time sprinkling it in...

i ended up using dishwashing soap and a few drops of apple cider vinegar in the bath, pink Himalayan salt in the water and saline solution for the maggots, but i think i had already gotten 99% of them off just after i posted the thread. she seems really unsteady standing and walking around, for...

we don’t have any undiluted hydrogen peroxide, are there any substitutes for this situation?
