Another update. After someone wrote that bob is maybe giving up or missing gravel. I decided that it was time for Bob to go visit his ladies. It was a bit suny and not to fold so perfect for a trip in the garden. Even after 8 days his ladies were welcoming him. It let him stay 5 minutes...
Update: today he liftet his head higher then any of the previous days. He was standig kompletely upright. Only for a short period but that was again a victory for him. Today i could feel his krop better. He must have been very uncomfortable yesterday because there he didnt wanted me to touch his...
@aart @hayley3 I have not been force feeding him. Only lifting his head the first few days and holding water under his beak. He is drinking when i do that. Food, he pecks himself when i put it just under him. Sucker and salt water= sugar water with a bit salt. (18 grams sugar + 3 gram salt in...
Hey, i have a big brahma rooster. 5 days ago the flok didn’t get in their house before nightfall (automatic door) and was attacked by a fox. 4 chickens were killed and i found my rooster with a neckinjury. He lost most of his tale and the fox has tried to break his neck. There were not really...
Hey,
I have been reading here for a while and also asked some questions. But i should probably introduce myself aswell :D
I live in Denmark but i´m actually from Belgium. I live together with my husband, our 2 children, 2 dogs and 2 guineas pigs. We had been talking about getting some chickens...
i have 4 brahma´s. 2 could be cockerels was said in another tread. I hope the other 2 are pullets :D
Bird 1 (cockerel i think)
Bird 2 (probably cockerel)
Bird 3 is the buff one
Bird 4 is smaller then the other 3 and alot together with bird 1
Brahma´s around 5 months old:
The bird on the left should be a cockerel, what about the right one? They are the same size
And my last chicken, she is a lot smaller then the other 3, so i hope that it´s a pulet
yes, that's why i also thought it is a male. I went to the person i bought them from and he thought they are both female but he admitted not knowing for sure.
They should be around 5 months old now. Hope someone can see what gender they are as i´m not supposed to have roosters. The person i bought them from wants to trade them but then i need to know for sure and as fast as possible. I think the first one is a cockerel as he has those colored feathers...
Update: we finallly Are getting some sun again after a whole month with rain and storms so I have been letting her outside on the grass which perked her up a lot. I guess she doesn't have coccidiosis as it has been 5 days with no blood or diarrhea. I'll keep her in my bathroom and see if I can...
Hey, thanks for your answer. Can it be coccidiosis when she does not have diarrhea at all?
This is her 3th day in a cage. She does eat once and a while but sleeps most of the time. No diarrhea, no blood in droppings, no visible worms. I give her fermented food, canned tuna and kefir.
Anything...
I really hoped someone could give me some directions as there's no animaldoctors open in the weekend and I'm afraid the ones that are open tomorrow are nor really specialized in poultry.
Some updates on the chicken. She is still sitting with closed eyes. Her crop was full yesterdayevening (size...
Hey
4 weeks ago I bought 5 young chickens, they were 4 months at that time. Last week I saw that they have lice but only on top of their heads as far as I can see. I treated them with woodashes once so far. I have been ill myself the whole week so did not really spend time with them but let my...
