    Labored breathing.

    TwoCrows, Thank you! She does not have any other symptoms and her breathing does sound better tonight. I don't know if it was a honking or just really labored breathing. I will try and put the video on. I did put some arugula and 1/2 a squash out yesterday for them to eat. I wonder if she...

    Labored breathing.

    Lacy is really struggling to breathe. She is walking around and you can hear every inhale and exhale. I am not sure what to do. I am trying to add a video I took but it isn't working.

    Ended Official BYC Coop Page Contest #7

    WE used play sand #4. I love having the sand. I use it in the run and also on the coop floor and I have a poop board under their roost with sand. It is so easy to spend 5 minutes a day and scoop all of their little piles. My coop does not smell. I love it. I use straw in their nests and...

    What sex are my polish chickens?

    At 13 weeks it is now obvious what sex my chicks are. "Tumbleweed" is now "Tiara". You were right, I was wrong. And "Flower" is a rooster. We were all wrong on her, ahem, him! She/He needs a new name!

    Chicken with Crooken neck. HELP!

    I think it helped to keep mine isolated and in a dark warm room just to keep her calm. At first she was so bad she would be tumbling and stumbling and that would upset her. When I kept her in the dark she would just tuck her head and hang out. When she got to where she was up and looking...

    Chicken with Crooken neck. HELP!

    I have treated two chickens for wry neck in the last year and both have fully recovered. Both had twisted necks and would fall backwards. This last one I put in a metal container with some straw and a heat lamp up high enough that she didn't get too warm and kept her isolated in a small room...

    What sex are my polish chickens?

    I was hoping Tumbleweed was a Rooster. He was so much larger than Flower as day old chicks. Oh well! Thanks for your help!

    Chicken with Crooken neck. HELP!

    I did read the posts and found them very helpful. Thank you! I do have some prednisone and will use it if she gets to where she is not eating and drinking. She is not bad at all. She still eats, drinks, lays eggs, forages in the pasture, etc. I started her on the vitamins. I used chick...
