    Hen with badly bleeding head! Help! *UPDATED*

    Thanks everyone! I have her inside at the moment, I don't want her outside with this weather and that wound. She seems to be healing up alright. It's not down to the skull, thank goodness, (or at least I don't think it is). I will try to remember to post a picture soon. I will see if I can find...

    Hen with badly bleeding head! Help! *UPDATED*

    Enchanted Sunrise Farms, thanks! I will look for that! Right now my main concern is that the wound on her head is pretty deep. If you look at her from the side, her head is not round, there's a big dip in the center... I did what Dhunicorn suggested and sprayed the head with sterile saline...

    Hen with badly bleeding head! Help! *UPDATED*

    Hello, My six month old white polish hen's head is badly bleeding. I assume some roosters pecked out feathers from her head and it it starting bleeding and other chickens pecked it to make the wound significantly worse. Right now she's got no feathers in the center of her head, the other...

    Chicken locked w/o food or water for long time! Help!

    Thanks everyone! She was having a hard time walking when she first came out, but after food and water, she is walking fine. She seems to know where the food and water is. Hopefully she will be better soon with some extra nuitrition and TLC. Camelot Farms, wow! That's amazing! Thanks again...

    Chicken locked w/o food or water for long time! Help!

    Hello, I came into my shed and found an Isa Brown hen inside. I don't know how long she was in there. She is very thin, lost lots of feathers, her comb is purple, and she has little energy. I brought her out and gave her water and food. She is an Isa Brown, about 2 years old, I think. I'm...

    Getting chickens to go inside at night?

    Thanks everyone! I realized I have a window open beside the coop and the ones outside have been sleeping near the window. If I close the window the coop will be the only source of light. I'll try that tonight. Thanks! Tala, thanks! Clipping their wings is a great idea. I might try that! Thanks...

    Getting chickens to go inside at night?

    Thanks everyone! Wildsky, thanks! They are being picked on a bit by the others, but nothing more than I'd imagine. They have a whole roost of their own, where none of the other ones who might pick on them are. CMV, we do have a light in the coop, we just put it in the other day, though. I'm...

    Getting chickens to go inside at night?

    Hello, Some of my chickens are having trouble going inside at night. Every year we get several new chicks to add to our chickens. First, we have the chicks in a coop of their own, then, when they are old enough, we move them to the main coop. This year we got 30 chicks. They are about 4 1/2...

    Hen is injured and limping! Help!

    Hello everyone, Thanks for all your help! She seems to still be limping, last I checked. Perhaps her leg was sprained or broken? How do I tell? I would prefer to confine her as little as possible as she is extremely skittish and jumpy (how she probably managed to get away from the preditor!) and...

    Hen is injured and limping! Help!

    Hello, I came out to the chicken coop and saw my 2 year old polish cross hen was limping and had lots a lot of feathers. She likes to fly over the fence and the puppy probably got out sometime when we weren't watching and injured her. I didn't see any blood or anything. She seemed to be able...

    Chicken Has Worms... Help!! *UPDATED AGAIN*

    Another Update: The rooster is looking a little better today. He's having a slightly easier time balancing. He's eating and drinking (I gave him his special food mix). I haven't put the Piperazine in the water yet, because I am waiting a little while after giving him the other wormer. But he...

    Chicken Has Worms... Help!! *UPDATED AGAIN*

    Thanks everyone! It didn't say how much % Piperazine is in it, but I did the math and probably around 20%... I guess that is close enough to 17%? Uppity Peon, your probably right... I'm not too familiar with chicken antibiotics, what sort of antibiotics can you give to a chicken? Thanks again...

    Chicken Has Worms... Help!! *UPDATED AGAIN*

    UPDATE: We got some Piperazine dewormer. It said it was for cats, they didn't have any specificly for chickens. Should it work? How much should I give him and how should I give it to him? A few days ago he was looking a lot better, he was able to walk around pretty good and was eating and...

    Chicken Has Worms... Help!! *UPDATED AGAIN*

    Eggs4sale, thanks for the link! Very useful information! And, thanks Threehorses for all that information! Uppity Peon, its good to know natural solutions are effective, thanks! If I use Wazine I would probably only use it on the rooster, who does not lay eggs, and find a more natural...
