    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Sorry about your losses. I lost 2 of my favorite girls to various ailments but it warms my heart to see the rest of the OG's and the new girls thrive.

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Our girls are doing well. Egg production is down due to winter. I am panicking about the negative temps coming up when we are out of town. Our girls are pretty hardy, but one of our fav Americana hens roosts in the rafters of the run as opposed to going in the coop at night. My in-laws are...

    Chick with bulge to side of keel with trouble breathing

    Thank you. I have pea sized pieces of coconut oil chilling now. I made up some sugar water and dipped her beak in. She wasn't interested, however, she is still eating on occasion. Is this going to create more back up?

    Hen with occasional gasping

    Thank you for your reply. Her abdomen is firm and warm. I do feel like this is hypertension. She has always been a heavier chicken. If water belly, what are the recommended treatments? I realize it is not curable. Also, is it safe to treat for tapes with this condition?

    Hen with occasional gasping

    I have a 2 year old Buff hen who has started waddling when she walks. We have also noted she has tapes in her feces, which I previously treated for in the fall with praziquantel. Now, she has started laying down and gasping for air on occasion, she also cranes her neck back when doing so - see...

    Mistaken skin for pasty butt

    Thanks again, this seems to have worked, or the umbilical cord was ready to fall off, within a few days. She has new fuzz growing around her bum.

    Mistaken skin for pasty butt

    Thank you! I will try this. Is it ok if she ingests some of the ointment when she tries to clean herself?

    Mistaken skin for pasty butt

    Hi, we have a Buff Orpington chick about 10 days old now. Got her from Tractor Supply, a long with others. She had pasty butt or so we thought and got it cleaned up with warm water and Vaseline. The problem is there is something hard and crusty attached to her below her vent. I don’t want to...
