The one in the link is on the bottom which is common but it can be between the toes. It is usually from a cut or scrape on the foot that has become infected - usually with...
Sometimes this can be heredity or a riboflavin deficiency (vitamin B2). This deficiency is usually from the flock the egg came from or from the chick itself and can start at 10days and get worse. If the chick's starter feed has inefficient Vit B2 then you can try and supplement it. If its not...
I have a coop with a run covered in netting. I had no problems since I had moved here -4years. But this year my chickens started disappearing one by one. I couldn't find out how the predator was getting them out. One day I found a chicken carcass halfway pulled through the fence and I placed my...
You know that Tylan comes in a soluble powder as well. It is also labeled for chickens you mix it with water. The injectable is off label for poultry so you might want to ask your vet friend what they say the dosage is if you are worried. The powder is like the injectable - just powder.
Yea those are two roosters. Every year I get a new batch of those and I can spot those little roosters no doubt. And to back it up you heard the wht/blk one crow so its def a boy. Tail feathers male as well.
Well I wasn't attacking anyone I was just giving my opinion, from what I've encountered,to the OP. But since you are being so agressive - how many years have you raised chickens? Has it been more than a few years?
Back to OP what I mean is that for every breed there is a breed standard. Most...
I have had 18years experience with poultry - with most of these years owning, breeding and showing RIR. Yes they SHOULD be darker but that doesn't mean there aren't bloodlines out there that aren't show quality. I am just pointing out that you can't expect for every single bird to look exactly...
As all chicken breed have a range of colors to them you can't exclude them from being RIR from that picture. First of all their faces still have baby fuzz so they are not completely feathered out. I have had some RIR that were light like that and I've had darker. These might not fit the breed...
Yea its best not to give aspirin if you aren't sure what you are doing or what is going on. Aspirin is an NSAID and it inhibits the blood from clotting so thats why you don't want to give it when theres internal bleeding. Is this chicken old that she fell off the roost? I've had chickens fall...
I've used ivermectin 1% cattle dewormer injectable. You mix 1cc per quart of water or 4cc per gallon of water and offer this as the only water source (changing it everyday) for 2-3 days. Meat withdrawal is listed as 30days - as for the eggs I don't throw them out since ivermectin is used on...
Is it "stargazing"?
Its kinda where the chicken flips its head around and sometimes upside down kinda like it looking at the stars.

But you should do the best you can and figure out what it is because if you ever want to get more poultry, the ones that survive can be carriers. Could maybe be mycoplasma?
