RIP...
I am very sad to report the pretty girl has passed away. We are so sad... She was a wonderful friend. She had the most personality of any animal I've ever met. When she was young, she had the most beautiful big brown eyes. She "talked" when she wanted something, and always laid...
new update. We gave pretty girl a dose of teramycin and there is no more blood coming out of her mouth. She is alert, hungry and drinking plenty of water. Where as I read that ILT is caused by a virus, perhaps what she has was bacterial since the anti-biotics seem to be helping. Any thoughts on...
Oh my...This is overwhelming, but I appreciate the help. The weird thing is that the chicken otherwise seems healthy. She's chatty, eats and drinks. She is breathing normally. She did have bubbles coming out of her eye, but now that she's in the warm house, she's fine. Could it be anything...
Hi everyone-
I posted recently on a chicken who was having a hard time breathing and had bubbles coming out of her eye. She has been inside and was doing fine. We put her back outside so she could roam around, and she was only outside for a day and 1/2 and was back in the house again with...
ok, a quick update...
Pretty girl is doing well. She's in her dog crate sleeping and snoring (yes I'm serious) away. There are no more breathing problems and no more bubbling eye. She is eating and drinking just fine. She does have a little diahrreah which I discovered after letting her...
hello all...
I have a golden seabright named pretty girl who is about 6 years old now. She has been showing signs of her old age, and suffering from all sorts of problems. Tonight, when I went in to get a head count, I picked her up and tucked her in my coat as I always do on cold nights...
I checked her crop and ears. They look good. I inspected her physically. Even though I don't know exactly what to look for, I didn't see anything physicaly wrong. I found her in the coop sleeping standing up on the floor. I put her near the waterer and she took a few sips. But then she saw...
I have a 5 year old Golden Seabright named pretty girl. She is a free range bird who has been fed organic feed her whole life. She is no longer laying eggs, but I don't euthanize my birds when they stopped laying. Recently, she has been displaying some behavior that has me so worried for her...
what's food grade de?
I have a chicken that needs desperate help. She's being overrun by lice. She has a bit of paralysis in her legs, and the other chickens are attacking her on her back. They pecked most of the skin and meat off of her. She's in a large dog crate healing now, but I need to...
I have seen this before. A friend of mine had a flock of chickens. She got a new batch which included an "exotic" variety. For some reason, this bird was very defensive, submissive, etc...As soon as she started running, the other birds realized they could intimidate her and they ganged up on...

Weird, I had a Quail Antwerp Belgian who did the EXACT same think. He would only come after me if my back was turned. He bit me in the behind a couple of times. He met his maker, though. Hawk or owl got him.
Sorry, but mean roosters stay mean. All roosters mature at different rates. Sounds like your buddy went through the change. I have had many roosters, and the mean ones are just plain mean. I have never had success in trying to "rehabilitate" a rooster. I'm not an animal specialist. But, I've...
Ok here's the story...
about 3-4 months ago, we noticed we were missing 4 chickens. We were going with the "leave the door open" method, so the chickens could come and go as they please. We found 2 birds w/ heads missing and the rest of the body was in tact. After that we started locking up the...
