    Hen Trying to Kill Flock Mate - Help

    I was wondering if my Brahma was sick too but she doesn’t appear to be. Her droppings are normal and her behavior is normal. Eating and drinking well. The last two times she has gone through her molting phase seems to set my Ameraucana off. My two head hens do not have a problem with her. What...

    Buff Orpington with (8) 1-Week Old Chicks

    I have two devoted broody hens who are just over a year old and this is their first time going broody. I decided to order a mixture of fertilized eggs and see if they would hatch. I built them both separate broody pens with plenty of space for their nest, pooping area, and food and water area in...

    Review by '' on item 'Australorp'

    My Australorps are sweet and beautiful. My head hen can be a little bossy to the other flock members but for the most part gets along great with the other hens. When we are ready to set her she will be an excellent mother. Very dedicated. Goes broody too frequently though. Great interaction with...

    Wheezing 6 MO Americauna Pullet

    Thank you for the article! Ivy is much better today! Has her sweet little voice back and wheezing is gone. Not sure what got her but I believe her lungs did not do well with the sudden cold spell we got this last week and snow. I put a red lamp bulb in place of our regular bulb we use for light...

    Wheezing 6 MO Americauna Pullet

    Thank you for getting back to me. I have not given intramuscular but I will if I have to. The feed store is going to see if they can get me the tylan 50 by tomorrow. I will go pick it up just to be prepared in case things decline or anyone else becomes ill. I would prefer to not inject her and...

    Wheezing 6 MO Americauna Pullet

    Good update! Ivy is doing better!! Tylan 50 is out at my feedstore. Instead they suggested to use Duramycin 72-200 for respiratory infections in chickens. Said it worked the same and the Poultry Judge and Leader happen to be in the feedstore at the same time and she said she used this on her...

    Wheezing 6 MO Americauna Pullet

    I will pick up these things and try your suggestions. Waiting at feed store right now. Should I let her eat or try a little olive oil in case she does have something stuck in her throat or should I wait and see how she does with the medicine? Her crop is empty and feels normal. Should I help her...

    Wheezing 6 MO Americauna Pullet

    I did notice when she drink water she was very reluctant and some came back out her beak after a few minutes. She wants to eat. She acts like she is starving. I just got done checking on Ivy after my class tonight and she’s still not any better. Her crop is fine, feathers are fine but I’m...

    Her throat looks normal (or did when I took the video) no abnormal spots or color. No mucus. I haven’t been massaging her and her crop feels empty.

    Wheezing 6 MO Americauna Pullet

    Great ideas and thank you very much for the advice. I did quarantine her in a dog crate in the coop as the others started pecking her off the roost and in the head. She is normally at the top of the pecking order. I did not want any further stress on her. I will try and get the Tylan first thing...
