    Lost tubing

    Thanks, if this one dies it’ll make three in 10 months I’ll have lost due to my ignorance/what to do/what to look for. I hope that piece of tubing just slides on out! :-)

    Lost tubing

    Can’t believe im possibly killing her trying to save her! I just spent close to $1000 at the vet to save her from a raccoon attack. I didn’t realize how hard this was going to be! Is it normal for new chicken owners to lose a few through ignorance and trial and error? I hate to keep losing...

    Lost tubing

    I did but it kept going lower and lower and I guess it’s gone down into her digestive track

    Lost tubing

    I was attempting to force-feed my sick chicken. I had the tubing directly in the crop as I was putting the food in of course she was struggling and the tubing came off the tip of the syringe and is inside of her now. I felt it in her crop but it kept going lower and lower and now I can’t find...

    Coccidiosis time frame

    I’ve been putting it in their water. today will be four days. Most likely because she was the tiniest, about 2 pounds, is why it took her down and others are not presenting with yellow poop. So far.... she was the only one that did not pick on her clutch mate sister. I may end up with that...

    Coccidiosis time frame

    Guess it was coccidiosis, she died tonight. I will definitely be more diligent next time I see a strange colored poop even if everyone’s acting normally.

    Coccidiosis time frame

    A vet is an option, I give them corn/sunflower seed mixture right before bed since it has turned cold.

    Coccidiosis time frame

    Nothing unusual or out of the ordinary that I have observed. She is always right there with the rest of the group to come for treats or bowls of water, (which they all think is something special for some reason). She is about 10 months old now, Easter Egger, hasn’t laid yet, and has always been...

    Coccidiosis time frame

    Would yellow poop for a month from a chicken be coccidiosis? I didn’t pay any attention as my birds have all different colors of poop until I came across to post showing yellow poop being possibly coccidiosis. I know which bird it is because she has a little bit of dried yellow “skid marks” on...

    I’ll look into that, appears it’s not affected by touching the grass or weeds like some electric fence kits I’ve seen.

    I’m definitely going to try to help them slim down a bit since it’s my responsibility to take the best care of them as possible.

    Fat girls

    I was able to get two of them. One ran off with the trap on its foot the other one met its demise at the end of a shovel! The raccoon attack happened in the middle of the afternoon and I am just still skittish about letting them out without being able to stay with them 100%. I would even be...

    One of my RedRanger girls. Too big? Yes, I would no longer get a bird considered as meat birds. I didn’t realize what a red ranger was until after I got them. I thought they were like a Rhode Island red because of their color. Now I know. I have daytime raccoon problems and I can’t let them...

    Fat girls

    I pick each bird up every day just to give them a once over and it’s very obvious that they are twice as heavy as the other girls I have.
