    Rooster Comb Question

    Thank you, that’s good to know! I knew I read that about the comb and fertility somewhere but I’m sure it was about hens and I just assumed that applied to both!

    Rooster Comb Question

    I have a Silkie rooster, he’s about 2 years old, and I just noticed today that his comb has changed color. It’s always been a dark blue/purple color and today I noticed it’s almost a light grey color. I think I remember reading that combs are related to fertility so does that mean his fertility...

    Chicken Losing All Her Feathers?

    Hey guys! So I just thought I’d post an update on Lightning. I ended up buying some pour on ivermectin and sneaking down there at night and putting some on her and all the other chickens. I’ve only done one treatment a couple months ago and have seen a big difference in her and a few other’s...

    Chicken Losing All Her Feathers?

    Thank you guys!! I have some coconut oil on hand so I’ll use that until I can go get some parasite powder and Vaseline. I’ll go ahead and treat all of them, there’s a couple others who’s legs look similar to her’s but not quite as severe

    Chicken Losing All Her Feathers?

    Thank you guys! I was thinking if she was just molting the chick starter would help with her feathers since it’s higher protein? But it hasn’t made a difference. I will check everyone for mites/lice tonight and treat for scaly leg too. I just feel so bad for her! She used to be my prettiest one...

    Chicken Losing All Her Feathers?

    I’ve been feeding them Dumor chick starter for the last couple months because I’ve had broody hens raising chicks. She’s the only one that’s like this. I don’t think she’s being picked on though, she’s at the higher end of the pecking order and is normally the one picking on others lol. I mostly...

    Chicken Losing All Her Feathers?

    I haven’t, she’s pretty wild but I could grab her and check. I was beginning to worry it’s something like that since it’s not getting better. How would I treat that?

    Chicken Losing All Her Feathers?

    So I have a Polish frizzle hen, she’s about 1 1/2 years old. A few months ago, I’m not sure exactly how many, she started losing a lot of feathers. I thought maybe she was molting. But it’s been what feels like a long time and it doesn’t seem like it’s getting any better. Her feathers are very...

    Turkey Poult with Dislocated Knee?!

    Oh gees! :eek:That’s a lot of work to go through for it to be Thanksgiving dinner! Maybe I can get a popsicle stick or something and tape it up

    Turkey Poult with Dislocated Knee?!

    Thank you!!! I will definitely try that. I’ve tried taping it a little and it slid back out, but I will try again. I just didn’t want to tape it too tightly

    Turkey Poult with Dislocated Knee?!

    I was wondering if it would be fixable. I tried to put some medical tape on it to hold in place but it still slides back out

    Turkey Poult with Dislocated Knee?!

    Well I just had the hobble on him because I initially thought he had splayed legs. How could I make a sling for him? And I have them on pine shavings

    Turkey Poult with Dislocated Knee?!

    I’ve only tried when I’m holding it in my hand, it’s normally popped back out by the time I put him on the ground. It seems like just the slightest movement and it’s out of joint.
