    Hen won't eat, stands still, weak

    Quote: LilBizzy, I called around the Southern States and some other farm stores, and the SS in Smithfield had a really good selection of farm animal medicines. I got a bag of areomycin, mixed with water, and used a syringe to squirt several loads down the chicken's throat. She won't...

    Hen won't eat, stands still, weak

    Quote: Hmm, I think her crop is pretty empty. It does stick out toward the bottom, but feels baggy. I feel the other birds' crops and they are much bigger. I have been feeding her yogurt with crumbles. I will find some antibiotics today. Thanks for your reply.

    Hen won't eat, stands still, weak

    Quote: Thanks, LilBizzy. They do look like an egg yolk color. That was my first guess, like a cracked egg. Some internet searching found that yellow poop may be caused from not eating. There are green blobs in the middle, too. I got these 5 hens three weeks ago and they were laying white eggs...

    Hen won't eat, stands still, weak

    My young adult Blue Andalusian has been acting lethargic and stands to herself. I noticed this behavior on Saturday after being away from home since Wednesday. On Wednesday, everybody (14 hens) was fine and happy. I keep them in the coop 12'x12' and run 12'x20' since the hawks are out. She has...

    What to do about rooster crowing?

    Thanks so much for all the advice! First I'll write a nice note to each of my neighbors asking if they are bothered by the noise. If either of them are then I'll post on Craigslist/our coop electric magazine/feed store/ask around at work. I shouldn't have a problem finding a new good home. It...

    What to do about rooster crowing?

    Two of my mypetchicken/mcmurray hens turned out to be roosters. 4 out of 8 of my tyson hatchery chicks turned out to be roosters and the two giant roosters crow like Barry White. The other two don't crow....yet. I didn't know they were Cornish Xs when I got them and I pamper them and sparingly...

    Turkey not acting the same...

    I had the same thing happen to my chicken - walking funny and not peckng around like the others. I carried her in and out of the coop for a few weeks and kept her with the rest. One morning I came down to the coop and my biggest rooster was stomping on her back trying to kill her or something. I...

    Golden campines- what are they like?

    Mine was supposed to be a hen but turned out to be a rooster. He is about 2.5 months old. He is smaller than the rest of the bunch (dominique, leghorns, easter egger, star) but is the most outgoing. He likes to crow a lot and is very talkative. He likes to be held the least but is the most fun...

    Dyed/Colored chicks @ Ideal Poultry?! Disturbing!!

    I agree completely. Animals shouldn't be messed with and I believe it leads to buying compulsion. If you want a pastel animal buy a stuffed animal toy. How would everyone feel if they dyed orphan children different colors around easter? Seriously, write a letter and say that x many people from a...

    Black Star smells sour

    I have a variety of 7 chicks from mypetchicken. All seem healthy and happy and act the same. They are 5 weeks old and share a brooder. The black star has always smelled sour and has sour smelling poo. The poo looks normal, though. The other chicks smell fine. Is the common to the breed? Should...

    Lily can sure be hard to love...

    New chick pics and meat chicken pics

    Quote: Thanks for the tip. I think the problem is with picasaweb so I put them on photobucket and that works better because it is a jpg. I did some research to get that far on the chicks to chickens and it is hard to tell because the feathers will come in different.
