    Broken butt

    We tried that at the beginning but stopped. My son says he will start it up again right now.

    Broken butt

    He has grit in his feed. I happen to find someone else’s post about a prolapsed vent and we’ve been doing what they suggested (coconut oil, soaking, wiping) but haven’t tried the hemorrhoid cream yet.

    Broken butt

    Hi gang. My son rescued a chicken and his vent is not functioning well. Every day it gets clogged inside and outside the vent. My son soaks home in warm water with epson salt which does relieve the caked on mess but now since he’s been soaking him for about 3-4 hours every day for 2 weeks now...

    Broken butt

    He eats a protein based rooster feed from the feed store. He also has an assortment of veggies fruits and meal worms once a week. I can assume the feed has grit in it but I will double check and if not I will add to their feed. He drinks clean water every day and I’ve never felt his crop...

    Hi 👋🏻. I read your response and my son rescued a rooster that has a similar problem except we don’t know what happened to this rooster and why his poop keeps getting stuck on the inside & outside of his vent. My son has soaked him in water & epson salt for about 1-2 hours every day for about 2...

    Thank you! Everyone (or every animal) is special in its own way. We can’t afford to take every animal we find to a vet but we try very hard (many sleepless nights) to research and provide the best care we can with the limited budget we’re on. When my daughter-in-law asked what I thought her...

    Labored breathing..any help is appreciated

    Hi everyone..I help my son take care of his chickens and unfortunately his 5 month old boy is sick. It started off with him losing his crow (we read puberty) but about 5 days after he stopped eating and started having a hard time breathing..he stretches his head up and outward to exhale. We...

    Aloha from Hawaii

    The cute and adorable kind. I’m not really sure as most of them are rescues (ex fighting chickens) or strays that don’t look too good. We know to keep them isolated for 30 days to prevent illness spreading but there’s a lot of things these poor guys get that we don’t know what to do.

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Hi Everyone! I’m new to having chickens but love their individual personalities...chickens are by far the best pet ever as they aren’t as needy as dogs (but we have 3) or as psycho as cats (we have 4). I’ve read many of your posts/comments on several topics and appreciate all the free advice...
