    Chicken equilibrium problem

    Her legs are fine. I turned her over to check everything and to feel her underneath, belly etc... I tried getting food into her but that didn’t work. 😞

    Chicken equilibrium problem

    She’s drinking and I gave her vitamins & Gatorade. No food yet. I’ll try the dewormer to see if that helps. She is laying down but she’s still trying to walk around. Thank you

    Chicken equilibrium problem

    Thank you.. I’ll try raw egg. She might be molting but no signs of loose feathers just yet? I haven’t seen her poop and it looks like she’s trying. Do you think I could give her some mineral oil ?

    Chicken equilibrium problem

    I gave her some vitamins earlier so not sure I want to give her more at this time. She’s not eating though. What are you thinking could be wrong please. Thanks

    Chicken equilibrium problem

    Hello, My last girl here cannot walk unless she uses her wings to stabilize herself. I’ve given her magnesium & Gatorade. Anyone have ideas as to what this could be? She’s about 3 1/2 and hasn’t layed an egg for about a week, which is unusual. Her legs & beak look good and strong. Thank you

    Help me get rid of my nightly visitors!!!!!

    Do not poison them. The poison can be dropped along the yard and your chickens and other birds pick it up only to get very sick or die. Contact a professional pest control Co and ask they bring snap traps ( instant kill) . I don’t think you have to go on a plan and can just have them observe the...

    How to Keep Chickens Cool in Upcoming Heat Wave?

    I’ve read that a small kiddie pool is a good cool down space but my chickens didn’t like it. If theyfree range, they like to hide under bushes and dig into the cool soil. We just got over a heat wave and that’s where I found my girls during the heat. As long as they have drinking water ( in a...

    Damp Moist Wall In My Chicken Room

    I don’t think this is safe for you and the air your breathing. Sounds like potential mold and before you paint, be sure to check for mold spores. I would remove the birds- put them in a garage etc and then dry out the wall with a safe heater before it gets even worse. You might consider getting...

    I need to kill my roo and i cant do it

    Perhaps your local vet will put him down? My hen is sick and although my vet doesn’t treat birds, he said he’d euthanize if needed. 🤔

    She’s still hanging on. I’ve been feeding her grains with some yogurt. A crushed up baby aspirin - pieces each day. I’m also pushing water. She’s still not able to walk and just to hop along, hurts her 😞 I’m hoping she starts showing improvement or I’ll have to let her go. I don’t want her...

    Sick chicken please help

    She was laying eggs about 10 days ago then stopped. I don’t have any pics of her poop but like I stated, it’s lime green and yellow. I have her another baby aspirin today and mixed some bread with apple cider that she ate. She drank water too. Her abdomen isn’t swollen, in fact she feels lighter...
