    Vitamin deficiency after Corid?

    I know this is an oldish thread. I had a chick display these exact symptoms, but she was vaccinated for Merrick's. I finally shelled out the money to take her to the vet. The vet didn't know what it was (because she wasn't an avian vet- but an ER vet in a clinic that had an avian vet). She...

    Chick diarrhea

    I am only giving them chick feed. I've been giving them organic, but I decided to switch to medicated because of this issue. There have been no treats or anything else for them, but this chick came with this issue.

    Chick diarrhea

    I'm having the same issue with my 6-week-old Midnight Majesty Maran chick. Since I got her, she ALWAYS has poop on her feet, and today she did this poop right in front of me. It was very liquid and "shot" out of her. I have a total of eight chicks (four Americaunas and four Midnight Majesty...

    USA to Stockpile Bird Flu Vaccines (Again)

    Virtually every person who got the vaccine did not die of Covid. I don't know about you, but I want that for my chickens.

    Is my Chicken Dead?

    Hello- About an hour ago, I let my hens out of their run to forage in my yard, like I do every day. The alpha in my flock came out, and I heard her fly. That is unusual for her, but once in a while, it happens. Then I heard a thud as if she had hit something. I found her on her back...

    I have northern fowl mites and a broody on eggs!

    My experience with a broody hen is that nothing will break a broody hen once she starts brooding-no matter how hard I try. I actually don't think that will be a problem for you.

    Old eye injury in new Amerucana Rooster

    So I have a hen right now who has an eye that looks almost identical to yours (after being attacked by our rooster). I had some really old antibiotic ointment from another bird years ago and have been using it sporadically. The cloudiness cleared up right away and she seems to be getting...

    Rooster attacking aggressive Hen

    Yeah, I'm looking at my options now. I'm going to try keeping them apart for several weeks- he's been miserable in "jail." And my hen is just another hen altogether. She used to be so confident and feisty. Now she seems to be very timid and submissive, and she won't go anywhere near him...

    Rooster attacking aggressive Hen

    LOL. That's the simplest explanation so it's likely the correct one.

    Rooster attacking aggressive Hen

    Okay, so there's a new hitch here. I just discovered this on my Buff: She has spurs!! BIG ONES!!! I'm wondering if the Rooster thinks she's a he and is attacking her because of that? She's never tried to mount a hen, but her spurs are bigger and sharper than his. Is there anything I can do...

    Rooster attacking aggressive Hen

    I did almost the same thing last night. I have a part of my run that has a gate to it and is completely predator-proof. I went and bought a small coop for him to stay in at night. I completely locked him in it last night (I felt a little bad because there really was no space for food or water...

    Rooster attacking aggressive Hen

    I tend to agree. However, if there is any chance that he might be able to be trained out of it, I'm inclined to try that first. That being said, he might be more trouble than he's worth, but he's been really sweet since he's been in "jail." Even letting me pick him up and pet him (he's never...

    Please help! Rooster attacking hen(s)

    Thank you. You have. I'll have to discuss with my husband about isolating the rooster from the hens. I have my hands full as is with all the critters on my property and I just think this will be too much. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with him. I was in his pen all day, and he was fine...

    Rooster attacking aggressive Hen

    She gets broody and will often peck at me. As the dominant hen in the yard, she will peck at the other hens. But she has never attacked anyone. When the rooster would get aggressive with her, she would stand her own ground and he would back off. I thought he was fine because of that...
