Thank you very much. :) I texted her the instructions and she said she'd try it out. She also said that the hen has had Neosporin applied to the scabs every day.
Thank you all very much. I'll check up on the hen as soon as possible to see how it's going, and luckily the person she's staying with has a vet tech in the house. I'll see if they want to go to a vet if it persists much longer or doesn't improve at all, and I'll check out the Neosporin and ear...
Hello there!
I'm in 4-H, and at the farm I go to work with my animal at they have a flock of about fifteen hens and a rooster. Yesterday myself and another 4-Her, who handles and has raised this hen, found her with her eyes completely scanned over and swollen shut. Her ears also appear scabbed...
Oh my gosh, you guys, thank you for all the input! :D This is all wonderful information. I'll be checking out breeders and other hatcheries to find the best birds. Thank you guys SO much for the pictures too!
I'm so sorry for your loss. :( It's always so sad to lose a chicken, especially that way... I'll definitely take that into consideration when getting my chicks.
Hello :)
I just joined BYC, and I'm looking forward to hopefully raising a group of Delawares as a meat bird project through 4-H. I will also be promoting the breed at shows and breeding the best of my flock, while the rest will be butchered. I was wondering, are Murray McMurray's Delawares true...
