    Disease??

    I will do as suggested. I've looked on her body and haven't found any mites on her but my eyes aren't the best. I plan to do the doctoring today. The growth has growned pretty fast and it effects her eyesight on that side. Sometimes she can't get the eye to stay open. At first I thought she had...

    Disease??

    Hoping this is a better photo of my hens feet. Also would like suggestions on what to do. She won't get on the poles at night and in the mornings she won't come down off of them. I have to put her up on the poles every night then take her now each morning. She doesn't walk any different but she...

    Disease??

    Here is a photo of the growth on my hen. Sorry it's taken so long to get back. Was at hospital with my husband. Cancer is a nasty disease but we are home for now. Thanks.

    Disease??

    Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my hen? Is it a disease or what and what can I do about it. Her legs look terrible and it looks like a growth on her head. [/IMG]

    Who am I??

    Thanks. I've never seen a partridge Cochin before. I am going to look at them on the Internet. Does she look like a hen or is it to early to tell? I think it's a hen because the others chicks I got at the same time you can tell which ones are Roos and which ones are hens. She's really funny...

    Who am I??

    I bought some baby chicks from a hattery last April. In that group I was sent this bird and I have no clue what it is. Anyone know? She's really pretty and has feathers on her feet. She is brownish red. At least I think that it's a she. Thanks, Darlene south Texas

    Sick hen help needed quickly

    Sickie girl. Is much better today. She is eating good and her leg has no purple or red in it. Although it is really swollen I did see her trying to run. She was limping but moving around lots better. Darlene south Texas

    Sick hen help needed quickly

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I have done everything except the aspirin and she is eating good today. I'm about to go out and take the bandage off and see how it looks today. I've been gone all day so I'm sure she is feeling neglected. By the way she does still have two open wounds but she...

    Injured leg from spiral ring. Can't stand on it.

    That is a side view I was practicing trying to load. I have the front and back view I will send too. I soaked her foot in Epsom salt warm water. I took a needle and opened all the holes filled with fluid then put some topical ointment with salt on her foot and wrapped it up. I have her separated...

    Injured leg from spiral ring. Can't stand on it.

    I've given her a penicillin shot a couple of days ago and it's no better. I will try to post a picture. Not sure how to do that but will try and figure it out. She needs help badly.

    I have a 4 month old chicken that can't stand on her leg. The spiral ring had punctured her leg. It is very gross looking and is swollen, red and purple. I've doctored it with betadine and antibiotic cream and it is worse. What can I do for her? I'm about to soak it in some Epsom salt. Any other...

I cleaned it with betadine and antibiotic cream and for several days it looked good. Now her foot is all swollen, red and purple and she can't stand on it. I've given...

    Who has purchased eggs from ebay ? and what was your hatch rate ?

    I must agree on where the eggs come from and IF the seller even owns a rooster. These people are making money hands down and only wants to be graded on the packaging. I have bought many eggs from eBay. Few hatch. The best hatches I've ever had were from bluewaterranch in Livingston, Texas...
