    Hen with prolapse

    Hello Everyone - I have a red sex link with prolapse. There isn't too much hanging out but what is hanging out is scabbed over. I tried pushing everything back in, but it just came back out. (never had my thumb there before) I have been keeping her inside in the dark, feeding her oatmeal, corn...

    Has anyone seen anything like this?????

    Well, I guess I feel a little better knowing that it wasn't anything that could have been avoided. We actually thought we were getting RIR's when we got the RSL's. We had 6 RIR's that were wiped out by a serial killing racoon. (he didn't make it either) And we wanted more of them, but I think...

    Hello Everyone, I have 5 Red Sex Links. They are about a year old. About a month ago, I noticed one of them was puffed up like she was cold and she would close her eyes like she was about to fall asleep. She was eating, drinking and pooping normal. Her crop was normal, she wasn't egg bound, her...

    Do these legs look normal???

    My RIR has red stripes down the outside and inside of both legs. They are pink on the bottom and the scales are lifting and flaking off a little. Is this normal? He's been acting like a obnoxious rooster in all other reguards. I thought it might be scaley leg mites and I greased him up real good...

    RIR with hurt leg

    OK, so I got my hands on the hurt rooster. He's holding his leg straight out behind him. His thigh feels warm and when I tried to put his leg under him he curls his toes. There are no cuts or scrapes under his feathers and the leg does not feel dislocated or loose. It feels pretty much like the...

    RIR with hurt leg

    I'm sort of afraid to try to catch him. He's really big. If I try to get him on the roost, should I cover his head first?

    RIR with hurt leg

    Hi Everyone, I have a large RIR rooster who is holding his leg behind him, kind of dragging it and hopping on the other leg. I don't know if I can get my hands on him to check out his leg and hip. He's a little bi polar and I can never tell what kind of mood he's in! What otc pain meds can I...

I found another on yesterday - exactly the same and all of the eggs were missing. We started with 6 hens and are now down to 4. Its not a big flock but we...

    Two dead RIR - what is doing it???

    I found one of my RIR dead in the corner of the coop on Sunday. A hole about the size of a baseball was missing from her side. There was no sign of struggle. Today I found another RIR in the coop at the exact same spot with the same size hole in her and the eggs were missing. It seems that...
