Hello,
I’m just putting this out there for you to watch to show how I tried to help my chicken.
I am trying to upload video but it will only allow me to upload a photo, am I missing something?
Initially, I was with the guinea pigs watching them forage for the first time and that’s why I was...
Hello, and sorry to hear about your chicken. A rehomed chicken I had had gapeworm, but by the time I figured out what it was, the treatment didn't work and she wound up passing. I think there were a bunch and they died and she couldn't 'cough' them out.
I keep a journal now, but I did not when...
They’re not, they have two stalls to sleep in, but they roam the pasture and hang out with the chickens and rabbits in another stall if they want to get out of the sun, they have lots of room :)
Hello! Thank you at the outset for reading this.
We have a 40x20 pole barn we have enclosed and in one of the bays we have a chicken coop, we have sheep in another two bays.
Outside the barn we have a lean-to that covers the chicken run with an automatic door that allows the chickens to exit...
I will do the eggs/mash, etc and try again, I’m sure she will wolf those eggs down, then get all Miss Independent, balk and hop back with the other ladies lol
Thank you, I appreciate your help. I researched and it’s Marek’s. None of the other ladies are affected, yet… and Karen is wasting away but she lives the best life she can and I’ll continue to give her love :)
Hello :)
I have a 9 month old hen, a Blue Wyandotte or Orphington named Karen. She grew up with a lavender Orphington, her bff, Lovey.
Lovey got sick back in March but Karen did not. I isolated Lovey and after Lovey got better and she was well enough to go back with our flock, that’s when...
Just want to add my experience: My flock have been eating the Harvest Blend for about 8 months and yes, absolutely, they pick out only what they want to eat, but they have an acre of property they walk around on to forage and sometimes they fly out of their area and come up to the house to eat...
Hi! Thanks for responding! That is gapeworm. I had a full grown chicken that I took in who had it. We had no idea what she was doing with her mouth, and I finally figured it out. After I figured it out, I medicated her a bunch of times and it didn’t help. We had her for over a year and while she...
And my mistake, she is 12 weeks old.
I also don’t know what breed she is, I think she’s an Easter Egger because I’m looking at the sales receipt and she is not a lavender Orphington, a blue lace red wyandotte, a black Astrolorp or a blue Astrolorp. Those are the chicks I purchased, all have a...
Hello, I have been nursing a 18-20 week old pullet the past week and a half.
I found her lying down and barely moving one morning, I also noticed she had lime green poop. Wasn’t sure what the issue was.
At the same time, I had broken my toe so I was trying to nurse us both.
When I picked her...
