    Rooster with balance issues

    Hi, I have a 2 year old rooster with balance issues for about a month. In the last week or so he also seems to be leaning his neck to the side but not quite like a full wry neck. I had given the flock Corid (amprollium) for cocci treatment about two months and the girls are fine. Someone...

    Silver laced wyandotte what have i got.

    At four weeks, the wings on the chicks are short, so I'm going with boys. Typically you would see the wings extend past the butt, and some prominent tail feathers if they were girls. Keep us posted!

    Olive egger Rooster or Hen?

    Hi, This is a 4 month-old olive egger. I believe it is a rooster. I am basing my guess on the pointy feathers around the neck and tail, and what appears to be sickle feathers in photo #3. Thoughts?

    Swollen crop

    Update: I started with olive oil and switched to mineral oil. Same result. Larger at night, smaller in the morning but definitely still swollen and firm. I have been massaging all around the crop, and then finish by massaging the contents upward. Today I will try Dulcolax.

    Swollen crop

    Hi, I have a hen who has had a very swollen crop for about 5 days now. About 3 days ago, I started massaging the crop, and two days ago I started administering a tablespoon of olive oil at morning and night when I massage it. It feels like potters clay and I massage it for about a minute. At...
