Thank you for the update part, Heading out to get an injectable, did 10 days on water soluble with electrolyte and vits, plus oregano. The swelling was down and she began walking and eating like yours but about three days off penicillin and swelling coming back. I don't think she was getting a...

Don't use this much anymore. I have had many generations of chicken over the last 10 years. Breeding Easter eggers and nankins. Silver spangled hamburg and welsummers. There are geese, ducks, guinea fowl as well as a dog, cat, rabbit and ball python. My job is bookkeeper, office manager...

Do ducks get gout? I have had guinea hens with ties like that, it spreads to feet and eventually leg.

More info please. do you have hens. other roosters. Birds are flock animals. They do do like to be alone. Is someome picking on him while your away. What kind of coop barn situation do you have?

Long time no post michiganders. i will be at the alma show. just shopping and looking at all the birds. I purchased a little serama last year and won best of breed with her at another show.:lol can't wait to see what gems I find this year.

Beautiful flock minus the featherless butts. I just sold two of my babies for the first time. Cried. My roo is molting so no feathers either.

I am posting this thread not for response but to help others who's bird may have similar symptoms. Lovebird was an Isa Brown who was 4 years old and had stopped laying eggs a year ago. Looking back on the last couple weeks the cancer progressed like this. Two weeks ago I noticed she was...

I don't see anything unusual. If you are refering to the reddness around the mouth. That's just her coloring.

Not good. From what I have read on this topic, once it comes out it will always be an issue. Sorry you having difficulty.

Well it finally happened. A cat was reaching through the wire after my month old meaties . One minor leg gash and one very sereous back of the neck gash. The leg injured bird got cleaned up and bandaged and is back with the flock. The other is in a carrier with a towel. If it makes it...

FYI add to your vet list. Companion Animal in Shelby Mi will treat chickens. The vet there keeps chickens herself and is more than happy to do fecl/parasite test without having to take the bird in.

Looks like a girl to me.

Three weeks nearly and one of the chicks was dead in the brooder. It was slow to develop and a bit miss shapened feathering wise. So sad. That leaves 5 nankin and 1 d'anver.

Culling is part of our responsibility. It is hard to find homes for mixed breed roos. I can't beloved my newbys are 2 weeks old already. My meat bird chicks were picked up Tuesday and they are already bigger than my two week old Nankins.

It is not unusual for a hen to take on a roos role if no rooster is present. Because yours is not 100%, perhaps she thinks she needs to fill the role. Once a dominant fully functioning roo is present, she should stop.
