    Urgent. Adult chicken can't walk nor stand, breathes with a strange sound, lies down, very big crop, has diarrhea.

    If her crop is very large and hard, it sounds like impacted crop. You’ll need to get her to a vet to open the crop and pull the wad of stuff out of there. If there isn’t a vet near you there are YouTube videos on how to perform the surgery. Impacted crop will lead to death so you don’t have...

    Sick Pullet from Rural King

    I'm guessing by now your chick has died or recovered. I've been off the site for quite a while and when I logged on tonight a message asked if we would respond to questions that hadn't any replies. Your best bet in a case like this is to look under the Forums headings. You'll find a "Search"...

    Have your chickens ever eaten screws????

    Only on BYC would I find others who not only had a problem with their chicken swallowing something sharp - but cured them! I was working outside the coop and some how a tack fell to the ground. The chickens (who had been in the run eating a tasty combo of yogurt, grapes, and bread) suddenly...

    Very Disappointed...

    Please don't be put-off by the lady you spoke with on the phone. You never know with whom you are dealing with when you make a cold call. A written proposal to someone higher up in the organization with a follow-up phone call will get better results. A link to a website with your photographs...

    "Veggie Slices" come in quite a few flavors. (I guess "flavors" is correct.) The "American" flavor is close to Kraft Singles. They also have Pepper Jack, Swiss, Mozzarella and my current favorite "Smoked Provolone." I haven't tried veggie cheese on anything other than sandwiches and burgers...

    HELP!! My Pullets won't stop Bawking!!!!

    My pullets raised the roof when they started to lay. Yikes! They have settled down now that egg laying is more routine. One of my BOs, Sister, still announces that someone is thinking of laying, someone is sitting on the nest, and finally, that someone has laid an egg. The other ladies seem...

    Kinda like realigning your chakras in Sedona, Arizona? Maybe you could just grab both contacts on your truck battery. That would realign your body chemistry. Seriously, there is no scientific research or data to back up this type of claim. I have a science background and an open mind. While...

    Was someone looking for a Silkie roo? It might have been a few hundred posts ago but I saw this on Craigslist and thought I'd pass it on. http://olympic.craigslist.org/grd/3241827662.html

    Can you send some to CR? They are most certainly still good - the pharmaceutical companies stick an expiration date on them for liability reasons - but a recently "expired" epi-pen is better than no pen at all! I am serious about getting CR an epi-pen. I have shellfish allergies and when your...

    Pecked in the eye by a chicken??

    Yep, a Partridge Rock got me good. She was on my shoulder looking inquisitively into my eye (I foolishly thought) and WHAM! It hurt like the dickens and the sclera turned bright red for about 10 days from the bleeding. No vision problems or I'd have been to the ER in a flash. Now I either...

    CR, Ya gots to get that pen! We want you stayin' here with us! I'd hate to think of you needing that pen and not having it. Did you look on Amazon and Craigslist? Anybody have an extra?

    Black spots on legs and head. What is it and how do I treat it?

    I wish I knew. My hens have developed tiny black spots on their combs. Aside from an occasional sneeze nothing has changed. I haven't found anything listing "black spots on comb" as a symptom. I've been waiting and watching, feeding yogurt, apple cider vinegar in the drinking water and keeping...
