    Rooster having trouble walking

    My 3 year old Brahma rooster I have noticed is having trouble walking. His legs are super shaky and he spends most of his time sitting down. I think the cause is he has been overloaded with mites. I got a spray and have been taking care of him for a day now. He is now isolated and has food with...

    Wasting away disease help

    Howdy, for the past few months I’ve had a 5 year old barred rock slowly loose more and more weight. She is now only skin and bones at this point. In the fall I noticed her lethargy, not really eating unless I gave her wet food and separated her from the other girls. But with the cold I’ve had...

    Rooster’s feet question

    Howdy folks, have a little question. I have a 3 year old Brahma rooster named Lenny and he’s a bigger bird and I noticed something with his feet. I tried to take a few pics but it seems like his inside toes are curved inward or broken in a way but I just want to make sure he’s ok. He seems to...

    Old Barred rock, to euthanize or not

    ill crack an egg on top of food and she will peck at it a little, but she will really only eat in the morning and in the afternoons when i go out and hold her to eat, otherwise she would have starved to death

    Old Barred rock, to euthanize or not

    Ill check and try to get some pictures. Her poops, as infrequent as they are seem just fine. no mites to be seen, and ill give her some poulty cell to help boost her.

    Old Barred rock, to euthanize or not

    Yeah trust me i thought that too, molting can be a very diffiult time. but i have noticed with her this has been going on for months and her new pin feathers growing are mishapen, they are often curved and sometimes dont break the skin like an ingrown hair so i think its curious. She just seems...

    Old Barred rock, to euthanize or not

    Howdy folks, I’ll keep this quick I’ve got a 4-5 year old barred rock who has gotten super skinny and lethargic. She just roosts around all day and only eats when I prepare wet food for her and hold her. I think she has some chronic illness or is just getting old and with the molt going on she...

    Impacted Crop will not clear

    Great to know, what kind of digestive enzymes are there i could get? Any specific brands or ways to break it down? I tend to give her plenty of long massages, i try to break it up instead of cupping her crop in my hand. Ill also try the stool softener as well, i may also get a head start and...

    Yes, i have massaged and constantly give her water via syringe to help loosen the food in her crop. I am considering getting a stool softener, do you know any other treatments to an impacted crop?
