Hi neighbor!! with ya in PNW. I’m trying to figure this heat thing too out I’m worried about my girls too. I’m doing everything except no kiddy pool. We did get a fan hooked up. Had to get a lot of the Christmas extension cords out. My big girl is having the hardest time. I think we will...
We live in the northwest and it normally is in the mid 70 this time of year. Today the temperature spiked to 100 and for the next 2 days it is going to be 100 to 109. My girls were really panting off and on all day but had lots of shady spots to hide out in. I had lots of cool water and /...
It’s hard to tell if she can see out of it but my guess is no. She is with the flock all the time. Mostly an issue around food. No it’s not a full on attack. If I’m right there I’ve actually pecked them with a finger. This seems very effective and they stop and are not afraid to come back over...
So I posted about my Chicken (pulet-13 wks) a few weeks back. She had an eye injury. She was very lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink. I thought she was likely going to die but we nursed her though. She is eating and drinking normally. Her energy has retuned and her feathers looks good. Her...
No your not scaring me. Well yes I’m scared but I just don’t want to lose my whole flock family. I don’t want lose her but if this gets worse I won’t let her suffer. I have a friend that will take care of culling if needed. I still can’t but if she has it and is a carrier I don’t want her in...
I just read something about Mareks and it kinda sounds some of the symptoms. My 10 wk old check is doing all that but she is not breathing funny. Did she pull though?
Thank you so much for the tips and the web sight link. I’m not sure what not sure if I order it because I just don’t know I could get it in time. Could this be Mareks? She is now acting like she is having neurological issues. They were vaccinated but I read that they can still get it. I’m...
New symptom: neurological??
I was encouraged this morning when she ate a whole egg yoke. Her eye looked better. We got a lot of fluid in her. I was think this is a good sign but when I got her out a couple of hours later she tried to eat but then seemed to be trying to rub her head again not...
We have a Sick bird I’m not really sure what is going on. This is my first experience with chickens and we live in an urban area. Saturday I noticed one of my 10 week old Americano was not hanging with the other chicks. I found her huddled up in the coop with one eye closed and was she was...
