    Inflamed eye

    She's not a young bird anymore...she's of laying age (but as far as I know has never laid). Which makes me wonder if the implementation of deep littering for the winter is what led to this??? It's been like that for a few days, ad doesn't seem to be bothering her. I haven't once seen her scratch...

    Inflamed eye

    Lol we are just getting into the first molt. The worst one so far is my silkie roo. Although, he was already well into his molt when I got him in September I.e. no tail feathers! He looks like such a ragamuffin! At least now I can see the beginnings of new feathers working their way out (as...

    Inflamed eye

    You all have been wonderful and so helpful. Thank you SO much! It's nice to feel encouraged. Aoxa I am grateful you shared your address with me so I could send you that picture. I've only had my flock since May, so I'm still pretty new. And I love my flock so much that every little thing I...

    Inflamed eye

    Thank you aoxa. That sounds better than a disease, or "she's gonna die!" could I flush it out with an Epsom salt solution? And what about applying neosporin to the area? I'll certainly start adding ACV to the water. I can tell you, her vision doesn't seem to be impaired. That bird avoids me...

    Inflamed eye

    No worries! Chicken ADD is OK with me :P I like the response though. I feel like every chicken ailment is so doom and gloom. Makes me feel hopeless. Maybe this will just be "one of those things". Here's to hoping. I researched like mad this afternoon but nothing matched her symptom. And that...

    Inflamed eye

    I've got a bird who has one eye where the tissue on the bottom of it is inflamed. I just got a hold of her and looked close. To me, it doesn't look like a worm. It is pink, and looks like the tissue just inside the lid is inflamed. She doesn't scratch at it, and doesn't seem to be bothered by...

    Prolapsed vent in a bird who hasn't laid for a month

    Thanks Jim. I've read countless threads on the matter on here. Success stories seem few and far between. And I'm rather discouraged that she re-prolapsed just from pooping, not even from laying an egg. I I wasn't feeling very hopeful. Just wanted some confirmation from other chicken folk before...

    Prolapsed vent in a bird who hasn't laid for a month

    Howdy peeps. I'm still pretty new to this chicken business, any advice would be appreciated. I have a Sebright bantam hen. I've had her since June. I don't know exactly how old she is but I'm guessing she hatched between feb and march. When we first got her she laid 4 eggs in the first 2 weeks...

    Blood in stool from an otherwise healthy appearing bird

    Hi folks! I have a sebright bantam hen that I have had for 3 1/2 months. She is about 5-6 months old. This morning I witnessed her drop a bloody poo. I did look at the poo chart, but I'm not 100% on what I think it could be. I looked up coccidia in my chicken encyclopedia and, it listed pale...

    Mixing bantams to standards

    I might also add that before adding the silkies to the enclosure with the rest of my flock (I keep my birds enclosed in a run attatched to the coop. My neighbors dog free ranges the neighborhood and I don't feel like sacrificing my birds to her...) we put the silkies in a temporary enclosure...

    Mixing bantams to standards

    I have a mixed flock. I started with 9 standards (of varying breeds). At about 3 months after hatching I lost one to illness. I replaced her with a golden comet and a pair of sebright bantams. They are all older than my original flock. So when I integrated, the newbies bullied my orginals. As my...

    How long do you separate a bird who is pecking from the bird that's being pecked?

    Thank you!
