She does not look pale but I will check for mites anyways and I am not sure the last time she laid an egg. I did feel her stomach and she did not feel egg bound though. And I do feed them crushed egg shells and I have not noticed any issues forming shells with any of the eggs I have collected...

I have a hen that I noticed was acting a little sick yesterday so I gave her some NutriDrench and she did not want to get on a perch so she slept in a nesting box last night. I checked on her this morning and she was still exactly where I set her. I gave her another dose of NutriDrench and put...

I'm not sure how old the wound is. I noticed it yesterday but it is something I could have easily overlooked

I will attach a picture. It was pink when I cleaned it out with saline last night then I put a banixx ointment on it and this is how it looks this morning. I don't think they are overcrowded, just bored. I tried letting them out to free-range but there is a predator issue so they haven't been...

I have a chicken with a pretty deep wound. I isolated her and rinsed her wound out with saline. I am spraying her with Banixx too. She keeps trying to pick at it so I am considering putting a child shirt on her to prevent her pecking at it. The wound is towards the end of her wing near her tail...

Are you feeding your chickens apple cores with seeds still in them? One of my hens died from poisoning from the stuff in apple seeds and before hand she spent a couple years pretty much featherless. Ofc I didnt know they were poison and the other hens were fine but it is a possibility that her...

Update: Thank you to everyone who gave me advice. I ended up taking him the the vet and they cut the yolk sac off. He seems to be doing well other than his leg being a bit turned. The vet said she thinks his leg will straighten as he grows. I am feeding him a critical care mixture so he gets all...

Hi, have you seen any mites crawling on them? It is possible they have them but it is more likely if they have already had contact with other birds. I know tractor supply sells a mite spray that I use on my hens but I'm not sure how old the chicken needs to be. Chicks do preen but if you think...

He is kinda walking but his leg is pretty turned. The yolk is still attached and I was trying to keep him in a coffee cup with a warm wet paper towel. He wasn't too happy so I lined the incubator with warm wet paper towels so he was sitting on wetness for the yolk. I am keeping him in the...

Yes. He had been in there for about 2 days and his head was in a very bad position. He was gasping for air like he couldn't breathe and his tooth had fallen off. I did some research and people were saying that if he was gasping for air I needed to help him get out ASAP. All I did was get his...

I am trying to hatch my first couple ducks. Friday afternoon both my eggs pipped and yesterday my first duck hatched perfectly fine and is doing great. Today my second duck hatched and it appears to still have it's yolk. It's legs don't look right either, it can't walk. I'll attach pictures...

To check for egg binding you should feel for a lump between her legs. And something you could give her to maybe help is nutri drench. I recommend putting it in a syringe and forcing her to drink it since she is sick.

For her joints you can give her Cosequin for cats. It has to be for cats though. ( I'm not sure why but the person that told me emphasized it very strongly to me.) Just sprinkle a capsule on her food when you can get her to eat. Nutri drench is really good. If you give it to her in large doses...

Thanks for your help. There is a possibility she could have broken her toe. I did order duck shoes but they won't be here until the end of the week.

Thank you for your help. Do you have suggestions on how I should empty it?

I have a Khaki Campbell and last week I noticed a swelling on the top of her foot. I grabbed her and brought her inside yesterday thinking it is bumblefoot. I will attach a picture. The first is the spot where I noticed swelling on the top of her foot and the second are a few spots on her other...
