    Weird gum-like thing found in chicken poop

    the inside stuff was white and squishy. we do have chickens laying blue eggs. it did not look like gum since the inside was kinda white ooze. update: fully taking it apart makes me think it was an egg shell or membrane type thing

    Weird gum-like thing found in chicken poop

    I don't even know what to look up to figure this out. My roommate found this in/on a pile of chicken poop.

    Necropsy results - how to treat rest of flock

    @Waterfaery I have few enough that I can dose them individually with safeguard. They won't appreciate it, of course, but it's good for them. Unfortunately the necropsy doesn't list what type, but it was free so I can't complain. :D I also have a guineafowl in with them - what is the worming...

    Necropsy results - how to treat rest of flock

    @KsKingBee The bird was 3 months old, not weeks, if that changes your assessment any. The final cause of death was breaking its neck somehow, I'm guessing on the bars of the crate I had it in to keep him from being picked on by the others (though I've never had that happen before), so the worms...

    Necropsy results - how to treat rest of flock

    I just got necropsy results back from my peachick that was failing to thrive. I've attached the full report but the overall result is: The technician suggested a broad-spectrum wormer for the rest of the flock. He deals primarily with chickens so I figured I'd follow up here for specifics on...

    Mixed up mothers?

    I would make sure they can't get through the cage wall and have to stay with whichever mother they're following now. If some of them are following neither mother, I'd put them in a brooder with heat and care for them myself.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I haven't done any vegetable gardening this year, just trying to take care of our roses and clematis and keep the weeds from taking over. <3

    New chick just not thriving

    pictures. I'm concerned he is actively dying but not sure what to do. he has been opening and closing his mouth a lot and making kind of pathetic sounds and is wobbly. @casportpony sorry to tag you directly just not sure what to do. see above post as well ETA he does have a hole in one of his...

    New chick just not thriving

    okay wow it's been 2 months and he is now notably smaller than everyone else. we were out of town for 2.5 weeks and when we came back, everyone else had grown and he hadn't. so I separated him out incase it was resource related or bullying and I've had him inside in a dog crate with heat lamp...

    New chick just not thriving

    We bought 2 white peachicks that are hypothetically only a week or so old but one is definitely a bit older than that (more feather development). He mostly kind of stands around huddled and closes his eyes a lot and just kind of rocks back and forth some almost like hes dozing off. His toes are...
