Ive had chickens for abut 15 years and I have hardly ever lost any but in the last 6 months I have lost about 8 to 10 hens and I am looking for any help as to why they are dying. I have chickens from 1 to 3 years old. Whatever this is, it is only killing the young birds. They all seem normal...
I have a chicken that smells bad. It smells like something dead or rotting. She has what looks like a white puss or white scab around her vent. She has some kind of infection I'm guessing, but what is it? Why does she have it? What do I do to treat it? Any ideas?
I am planning on building a new, old style chicken house with a concrete floor and like 1 ft high concrete sides before I start the framing..... Does anyone have any pictures of older style chicken houses like that?
Ill post a picture when I can,, She is only a little over a year old,, she may lay 3 or 4 eggs a week. I got her from a friend last year because they thought she was retarded, and she was so much bigger than all the other chicks, but they were all the same age.
I have a Cinnamon Queen, or a Gold Star chicken that in the last few months has gone blind in one eye. Her eye looks fine, but the color just started getting dull, anyone know why she has gone blind in one eye?
Then, now she seems to just be standing then she will close her eyes and sit down...
Ok, that's what that things looks like in her eye, so ill try that, but I cant figure out what is making her weak and dizzy, she eats and drinks thought, you have any idea about why she seems skinny and dizzy?
