    New Hampshire Red walking funny

    Just an update on Izabeal. Since we drained the yellow liquid from her belly and gave her medicine, she is doing much better. Her comb is bright red and she walking normal. She is running with the rest of the flock in the yard during the day and enjoying the hot muggy weather eating bugs...

    Thank you. I will show this to my husband. We have needles to preform this, but will have him do it and I will watch. I have antibiotic already from the last time I went to the vet for my Rooster. He gave me much more extra for emergencies. However, my hen does not look that bad as in the...

    New Hampshire Red walking funny

    Oh my. I read the articles. I don't want to put Izabeal down, but I do not want her to suffer. Right now she is eating and drinking and enjoying the free range but is just walking bow legged and is puffy in her bottom. If she starts to decline, well I will not let her suffer. I have...

    New Hampshire Red walking funny

    I have a New Hampshire Red Hen and she is walking as if she is loaded down. She had the runs and I cleaned her off and cut away the dirty feathers. I noticed her bottom seemed swollen and puffy and maybe that is making her walk as if she is over loaded down there. I gave her some RX drops and...

    Can too many roosters cause my hens to not lay?

    I have been observing my chickens and they seem content. They are not being chased, stressed out or they are not fighting with one another. There are debris of small and large feathers in the coop and pen area but I do not see any signs of fighting between hens or roosters. I can not let them...

    Can too many roosters cause my hens to not lay?

    I have 14 hens and 3 roosters. Some of my hens are older and most of them are young and should have started to lay already. I have a 5-year old Rhody rooster and I hatched five and two were roosters. All the roosters seem to get along fine since I hatched and hand raised the two young...

    Isaac the 6-week old rooster

    Isaac was hatched on January 3, 2013 and he is a cross of Black Jersey Giant and white Leghorn. When he was 5 1/2 weeks old I started to hear a strange sound coming from the chick pen. It sounded like a squeaky door that was slowly closing. Then I heard the sound again, and days later once...
