    Squeaking and Gasping Hen

    I just returned home so I have not seen her since Friday morning. She seems fine otherwise. She laid an egg either late yesterday or today. I threw some sunflower seeds and she ran in with the other chickens and ate them. Her color seems good, no eye or nose discharge. I guess I’ll keep an eye...

    Squeaking and Gasping Hen

    My hen is making squeaking noises and is gasping a little. Otherwise she seems fine. What would cause this? Any suggestions as to what I should do?

    Chicken making weird squeaking sound

    I know it’s an old thread but just wondering how your chicken turned out. Just got home from vacation and one of my chickens is making the same noise?

    What sex is this Jersey Giant?

    Thank you. She is very sweet and I already got one rooster (my mislabeled red sex link) out of the 4 chicks I got this spring. I know jersey giants take longer to develop so I wanted to make sure.

    What sex is this Jersey Giant?

    This is a picture of my black jersey giant at around 11.5 weeks. Any idea of the sex?

    Red Sex Link? Roo?

    I got him from a feed store. While I watched my other pullets more closely for signs of roo I didn’t really pay attention to this one because I thought it was a sex link. I have mostly heritage breeds and never had a sex link so while it developed differently I didn’t think much of it. But even...

    Red Sex Link? Roo?

    I have a 9-10 week old red sex link. I’m starting to wonder if it is not a red sex link as it was labeled and if maybe it’s a roo?

    Swollen abdomen, lethargic, puffed

    Thank you for the advice. I was able to get Penicillin injectable from Tractor Supply. I can’t say she is out of the woods yet but definitely improving every day. On Saturday morning she was gurgling a little and I thought that was it but after a second dose it went away. She seems to be eating...

    Swollen abdomen, lethargic, puffed

    I have had her isolated for over 12 hours and she has pooped twice. I don’t believe she has laid since she molted. Her comb and waddles are nice and red and she always squats even when she is not laying but not squatting now. I don’t have an avian vet. Is there an antibiotic I can buy at a farm...

    Swollen abdomen, lethargic, puffed

    I have a 4 year old buff Orpington. Yesterday I noticed she was puffed up and standing in a corner. This morning she was again puffed up and standing in the corner of the coop staring at the wall. She is very lethargic. I noticed today that her abdomen is swollen and hard. I was thinking maybe...

    My first welsummer eggs!

    My Welsummer is almost 28 weeks. My 3 other hens the same age as her have been laying for weeks. My older hens have started molting this week, is it possible she will not lay until the spring?

    Coccidia

    About 1.5 weeks ago I treated with Corid, I am noticing some bloody tissue in the droppings again. Should I start all over with the full dose or should I start the follow up dosing? I didn’t know about the follow up dosing when I did the treatment.

    Coccidiosis question

    Thank you I decided to go ahead and treat. After the 5 days should I give them a supplement? If the rooster booster vitamins, electrolytes, and probiotic mix any good?

    Coccidiosis question

    I have been noticing pieces of red tissue in my 7-8 week old chicks dropping for about a week. I find around 1-2 per day (I have 4 chicks). Otherwise all other droppings are normal they are eating well, active and growing well. I have them on medicated feed, they were off of the medicated for...
