I kinda felt like a wirdo doing it but I did palpate all over her. No egg in the back end, crop had food in it but wasn't huge, it was mush-able/moveable, she gave no indication of discomfort when I felt her entire wind pipe & I didn't feel anything odd. She did 1 wee/tiny sneeze while she's...

It depends on the cause. I know with Asthma Attacks in humans, if no Inhaler is available, putting the patient in a hot shower helps relieve breathing difficulty. The humidifier is a great idea!! I will keep that in my back pocket in case research leads me down that path. Thank you so...

Her eyes & nose are clear so far. I'll research those possibilities. THANK YOU so much for answering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone, We have a 5 month old Easter Egger that just laid her first egg today. She was fine all of today, we went to lock the girls up tonight & I could hear 1 with Stridor from across the field. It's Cinco De Clucko. She is the only 1 that is in any way acting different or...

Thank you both for the feedback!! I'm gonna treat for that now!!!

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm in a bit of a panic. My girls are painful skinny. How can I help them get to a healthy weight? It's hurting egg production & I have people coming out of the woodwork looking for eggs right now. 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the...

When we hang cabbage for ours, there are a few super greedy chickens in the flock. Those ladies get neon green watery poop because they had too much. Did this girl pig out on any treats that you know of?

We've seen her drinking when she's in her crate but not when she's out with the others. Not much, like she's not chugging water. If anything, it's like her eating. Seems like less than it should be. I am more than willing to try tube feeding her. Just tell me how. Yes, I did a serious once...

We rescued a Polish Roo with a crossed beak & he had the worst lice infestation I'd ever seen. He had no idea how to dust bathe & even after we trimmed his beak, he just didn't understand grooming. We gave him a shower with ArtNaturals Essential Bath & Body Wash ($12 from Amazon). It has tea...

We are completely at a loss & really need help to save our Splash. I'm sorry we don't have more information to give you, between family deaths, foster kittens, & a host of other crazy life things; we weren't able to give Splash our full time & attention until now. 1) What type of bird , age...

You are very kind!! I'm kicking myself for not remembering/thinking of more though! Which reminds me.... Did you change food recently? How old is their food? Have you inspected the food recently? (like, could there be mold growing in the bin at the bottom or out of sight?) When was the last...

That's great news!!! It's a good thing you checked. We've been annoyed with some of the impressively stupid regulations there are for almost everything. Between federal, state, & county regulations, it's gotten absurd. The stories I could tell you....we should probably start a new thread for...

Can you post any pictures of your setup? You said it's covered, so that means wild birds aren't able to drop poop into their run/home? (just double checking/ruling stuff out). Are they down hill from anything? I'm asking about watershed. Like if a wild animal were to poop uphill, then it...

Lol, it's the least I could do to help you!!! All my grandparents were farmers & they taught me to help & share if you can. If you were near us I'd invite you over to show you everything, feed you a damn good meal cooked from scratch (I'm a caterer), & send you home with knowledge & leftovers...

Since you're in the Suburbs, cat & dogs are on the potential predator list. You've seen coyotes so they are on the list. I did a quick google search & according to OR's Environmental Services Agency, that should be the big ones for you. So you don't have to bear proof it. So that's good...
