    Help! Chicken sounds like she’s choking sneezing and idk what’s wrong!!!

    If I could go back in time and give myself advice on chickens - it would be: 1) It is almost never nothing by the time we notice it. 2) Get the sick chicken out and away from the rest of the birds. 3) Start watching the other chickens with an eagle eye and if they start looking off; pull them...

    Swollen eye on hen

    I have no idea - but a sterile saline wash - like contact lens uses use - to rinse it would be my first "home remedy". and probably isolation in case it is some darn thing that can spread.It almost looks like the chicken equivalent of "pink eye" where the conjuctive tissue is swollen.

    My hubby always said he was a "Chow Hound" when we were asked. We did the genetic test on him and it came up with a very tiny % bull terrier. Which seemed.... Unlikely.

    I'm baaaaccckkkkkk

    He was only 35 Lbs. He was a shelter mix. We guessed mostly Aussie something or Catahoula. He was my special boy - but he had a sever immune system problem and I lost him when he was about 8 years old. Still have the JRT in the photo and now added a Mini Aussi-Poo.

    Hen With Respiratory Problem

    I would seperate her from the rest of your flock as a first step; if you haven't already. isn't there something where a chicken can basically get a "clogged" crop full of food????? I am not sure if you have Vet access - but I for sure would not start culling a whole flock without knowing what...

    Will a ten year old rooster survive this

    A confined area sounds good - at least for a couple of times during the day so he can easily get to food/water. And do you feed pellets or crumbles? Whichever you do - maybe the other would be easier for him? Maybe test different color on him to see if he sees any better than others - then make...

    Chicks legs burned by brooder lamp

    I have 2 chicks about 3 weeks old. One buff Orp. One black astrolorp. Both managed to get stuck in the brooder lamp housing and burn one of their legs. I have them in the "hospital box" to keep them from the rest of the 10 chicks. I am applying Neosporin to the damaged legs once a day. I don't...
