    Huge yellow mass in eye

    Hi all, need help fast with our 3 year old Spitz. This fall we noticed some bubbling in her eye. We took her to the vet and they gave us antibiotics to help. It did not seem to do much and as winter came around her weight and behavior stayed healthy so we hoped it may just run its course...

    Hawk killed favorite hen

    Thank you all very much for the kind words and suggestions. Spent yesterday fortifying some areas, we plan on moving soon so will definitely plan for a hard roof on the future coop. Nightly/Morning check ins are definitely hard without her there, but thank you all again for the kind words. She...

    Hawk killed favorite hen

    I came out to the coop this morning to find my absolute favorite girl maple under a hawk. She was 3 years old. She was the last remaining of my original 6 and had always been my favorite girl jumping on my lap and taking treats from my hand (and the bag). I am devastated. I had put plastic...

    Rapid weight loss, pooping grass

    Thank you!! Will pick some up and try that today. Our Brahma same age is having a rough go with her molt as well so hopefully that’s our issue.

    Rapid weight loss, pooping grass

    16% layer pellets, what we’ve had her on since she was an adult. They do free range in our small yard most of the day, but aside from that just the occasional handful of mealworms. I also should add that her behavior has not yet changed at all. She is still dusting and forging like normal.

    Rapid weight loss, pooping grass

She has in 2 weeks fallen to 3lb 10 oz and I’m not sure how much more she can lose. Her poop is mostly clumps of undigested grass with...

    Death of one of my chicks, other is alone now

    Hi there. I have had two 7 week old silkies out in my brooder coop together for about a month and a half. They were best friends and did everything together. Now I come outside to find that the coop was not as secure as I had thought and one of them had been eaten. They are almost at the age...

    Sudden chicken death???

    Hello, I went out about 30 minutes ago to let my chickens out to free range and do my daily behavior checks. Everyone seemed completely normal. Shortly after it started raining so I ran out to make sure everyone was getting in okay and I found one of our 5 month old silkies layed out flat on the...

    Fenbendazole Treatment, PLEASE HELP

    We have had a few birds die from Cappillaria and received 100mg/mL of Fenbendazole to treat. The doctor told us to mix it into their water based on weight but our birds have a vast difference in weight. Do we administer orally? What dosage per pound should we use for this concentration? Very...

    HELP Possible Cocci?

    Thank you for the reply, she is a 2 year old laying hen (has stopped laying due to the illness). She has been in a pen the past few days so will give her grit to hopefully digest. We lost a 9 month old Easter egger 2 days ago, we are waiting on necropsy results from her. Lost 2 hens in a similar...
