Edit to add: she has always had issues with pasty butt, since being a chick. I’ve posted before about it and it was basically determined she’s got too bit of a fluff butt since she never had any signs of illness. We just trimmed her butt and went about it and she was always fine. But maybe...
I just found my fav girly dead in the coop. She layed an egg yesterday and the day before, was running around yesterday with the kids totally normal behaviour and then I went to collect eggs an hour ago and she was dead. No egg bound, no sign of trauma, no reason for me to think she was sick at...
I started back up the triple antibiotic cream since it was bloody when I found it & I’ve been spraying her with the anti peck spray. I think I’ll get her a cover too. I’m hoping it grows back. Is there a chance she won’t regrow feathers??
She was doing great, feathers started to re grow so I thought it was good to stop but I checked on her 48 hours later and she was fully packed clean & cut open again. I didn’t see these notifications or I would have read that the new feathers are tasty! :(
I did as you recommended, we also set up a camera to see who is doing the pecking and 90% sure it’s her..she’s our special chicken out of the bunch so it doesn’t surprise me…😖 also the wound got covered in shavings overnight from the ointment, is that ok or should I try and cover it?
I let my girls out today to free range and I was able to catch my smallest lady & found a huge wound on her back. Looks to be an older one but the weather has been so horrible I haven’t been able to get to them in about a week besides to fill water. I didn’t notice it earlier this week but as I...
LITERALLY! What a joke! 😂 I marked it in my calendar, we were so excited to finally get an egg & nothing! I’m glad my one baby is laying tho! We get 1 a day so it’s not enough for a big family but we’re not a huge egg eating family anyways so it’s enough for us for now. Her eggs are an...
Okayy! We got ours from the local feed store so I don’t they are that fancy! Our main girl gave us eggs at about 19-20 weeks but even google images doesn’t know her breed. It gives different answers every time I take a pic LOL
They are 29 weeks now & my one has been laying every day for weeks. The two still haven’t given us any. Am I right to assume we won’t get any until spring?
They are suppose to be Americana’s? Is that not different from an Easter egger? I believe my one is actually an olive egger but we don’t know for sure. They are 29 weeks now & still no eggs
