    Help my little monster has swollen hard abdomen

    She was doing great until today. I would never let her suffer- she doesn't seem to be in pain. I have culled my chickens that were in pain or suffering especially when there is no option. I have to try something to help. She made it this far and was doing well till today. She has one head and...

    Help my little monster has swollen hard abdomen

    Here's a close up of both vents. I know she's young and shouldn't be bathed but it seems to be helping with the swelling. I'm keeping the bath water brooder warm and will dry her in a warm towel and blow dryer. She loves it. What's going on here? As I hold her in the warm Epsom salt bath I feel...

She's growing slowly and much less energetic than her mates. She's rare and a blessing she's survived this long. Any advice? I searched chick with...

    Tri-color eggs?

    One of our girls just started laying odd colored eggs. Normal shell, shape, hardness and size. The colors are strange. What causes this? Vitamin deficient? Haven't figured who's laying them. I have had about 7 of these

    Strange behavior, stumbling, lethargic...healthy

    My 16 month old Amercuana, Jellybean, started with a swollen eye about 2-3 weeks ago. It didn't look infected, nothing oozed from it. Other than just being closed partially from the swelling we ruled out worms or infection. We figured since she is low in the pecking order she may have been...

    Silkie chicks keep dying on me- worried about my hens and other chicks.

    The last 4 baby silkies we bought have died, been sick or retarded. Is this bad breeding? Diseased? Improper care? Wondering what is going wrong and should I treat my laying hens just in case this contagious? The first 3 silkies we had were about 2-3 days old. As soon as we got them home we...
