    Fly Strike, Prolapsed Uterus or both?

    She’s eaten canned corn and cat food, and she seems to have an appetite. I’m going to give her pellets and see how she does with that. Maybe make a mash. Is it possible for the rupture to heal? Am I looking at intestines that have come through the skin? She doesn’t seem too uncomfortable. As I...

    Fly Strike, Prolapsed Uterus or both?

    My 2 year old hen was off by herself yesterday morning. We brought her in and found maggots around a bulge. We gave her a warm soak and then put povidone-iodine on the bulge. We weren’t sure what was happening and didn’t think she would make it. Isolated her in a dog crate and made her...

    Broody hen and five week old chicks

    Grit options for brooder hen and chicks in a run with grass

    I have three week old chicks with a brooder hen. They are in a separate coop with their own small yard which is grassed. Can I put out both chick grit and adult grit for the hen? I’m afraid the chicks will try the adult grit and it will be too big for them.

    Trouble Roosting

    Can I ask what the current result is? Is it still working? I have a similar situation with a roost bar at same height as the other not being used.

    Curled toe

    Hi, I have a 4 week old chick and just noticed that her outside toe on her right foot is bending to the side and back. She can walk ok and she gets up onto the perches, however, she’s a bit tipsy as she can’t curl that toe around the perch. Is there something I should do for her? I’m new to...
