    Purple edging on roo's comb and green poop

    I noticed he was drinking a lot of water and his crop was like a ballon. Through a bit more research I determined that he had sour crop. I tipped him forward this morning and massaged everything out of his crop, I then gave him some coconut oil and massaged his crop, working the oil around the...

    Purple edging on roo's comb and green poop

    We don't have salt blocks around. I don't have Terramycin, but I do have tetracycline, should I put him back on it tomorrow?

    Purple edging on roo's comb and green poop

    I was reading that it may be liver, that would be sad :( He is drinking a fair amount of water on his own, and when I picked him up tonight he threw up some water. Could he have eaten something bad, and his body is trying to move it out?

    I offer them a meat builder pellet, black oil sunflower seeds and corn (during our Canadian winter with cold nights). Great advice, thank you.

    Sleepy Rooster

    I wondered about worms, I will have to look into getting something for the flock. I checked him for mites and he is clean. No other individual in our flock has similar behaviour.

    Sleepy Rooster

    He is the only Naked Neck we have, but we do have other chickens. I believe he can see, he picks out only his favourite grains when eating.

    Sleepy Rooster

    I have an 8 month old Naked Necked rooster, he is not a purebred, but a mixed with the dominant naked gene. He has always been a strange little dude, he is quiet, doesn't bother the hens and spends most of his day on the roost sleeping, (but his crop was always full, and he has always been...

    Unknown Illness in Chickens

    They haven't shown any respiratory symptoms nor runny poops. Here is a copy of some info my friend has just sent me via e-mail: " I have treated them with a round of antibiotics (in case respiratory or bacterial) as well as treated them for parasites/worms. It doesn't feel like that sort of...
