    Skin rot on chickens

    Thanks again Coach723 (your handle is very fitting :) )the coop walls are chain link fence we added the chicken wire on the outside. We also added more roosting area and moved the roosters out to a different structure so there's more room and way less stress/fighting. Looks like we still have...

    whistling chicken??

    Thanks Wyorp Rock. I looked into her beak and a little ways down her throat & can't see anything. I'll try to get a video. Have you ever tried VetRX for breathing issues? I also reading about fresh herbs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar but I'm pretty nervous for her. She's so small and her...

    whistling chicken??

    thanks LaFleche. I tried giving her fresh herbs but she didn't want them. Good idea to make into a tea. I've also been reading about apple cider vinegar & garlic in the water. Or a little olive oil and lots of folks suggesting VetRX. Any experience with VetRX? She sounds pretty bad now.

    whistling chicken??

    Our little bantam Floofy is suddenly making whistling / labored breathing noises during both inhale and exhale. She's about 7 months old and was fine yesterday. I can't see any obstructions but she won't really hold still for me to look down her throat. Her nostrils (are they called nostrils...

    Skin rot on chickens

    Just a quick update - we are pretty convinced it was a bobcat reaching into the coop. We added chicken wire around the coop, sealed up the top and so far so good. Also, the injured birds have nearly all recovered. One (Hurty Birdy) still has issues but we're doctoring daily and she is getting...

    Skin rot on chickens

    @coach723 sort of hard to photo but here's a pano of the inside & one from outside. There are 20 hens. We need to build another roost since we stole one to put over with the boys in the tractor. Just found another hen with a wound under her leg. I say wound but it seems more like they are...

    Skin rot on chickens

    we were able to get the young roos into their own chicken tractor so we hope the hens will do better. Last night I went out to see how the hens were doing and some were piled onto one another in a corner of the coop. It is a chain link fence. Now I am wondering if the girls got smashed and...

    Skin rot on chickens

    thank you coach723!! We will for sure start building up our home vet supplies. We're also going to deploy a critter cam to see if small predators are getting in the coop somehow. I don't know if we can save this hen because upon further inspection - it is really bad. Our roos don't yet have...

    Skin rot on chickens

    Our chicken has a nasty skin disorder. Dry, rotted, hot flesh around legs & under wings. Can someone help diagnose/resolve the problem? Fly strike? Warning!! Graphic photo. This is heartbreaking.
