    Chicken Hemorrhoid? What's going on here with this chicken butt?

    She's got the bird "Sunshine" in the bathtub washing her with dawn to clean and disinfect the area now. She will apply hydrocortisone cream and vetricyn spray after pushing the (gag) thing back inside her gently. (I'm the squeemish one, she's much better than me, think the tv show " Bless this...

    Chicken Hemorrhoid? What's going on here with this chicken butt?

    Hi, We have 5 Buff Orpingtons about 18 months old. This one had runny poop on her butt this morning and after looking we found something poking out of her vent area that looks like a hemorrhoid about as big as a quarter in diameter or maybe a bit bigger. I am unsure how long this has been since...

    Hawk attacked one of our chicks

    All 6 look so similar, yes they are pretty, and very sweet. It was heartbreaking to see the attack and to see her in the grasp of the hawk. We realize we had not taken enough precautions, but it will not happen again. Never did we imagine they would not be safe with the cage set up we had. Ron...

    Hawk attacked one of our chicks

    Thanks for the response, I'll admit I probably should have cleaned it out with some hydrogen peroxide or something, my thoughts were such that the hawk really had his talon in the thigh and there was no way I could clean that depth of injury, I was sort of freaked out by the whole thing and just...

    Hawk attacked one of our chicks

    Hi, we are new to this forum and have a situation we do not know how to deal with. We have 6 Buff Orpington chicks @ 7 weeks old and things were going well. We have a 3'X6' cage that is wrapped with chicken wire that we can move around the lawn. We thought it was impervious to predators. We keep...
