    Do chickens have seizures??

    I have a chook that has regular "turns" too. She falls off things as if she has passed out and then rolls her head around for about 30 seconds looking confused. After that she is fine. Scared the hell out of the first couple of times but I'm used to it now. She is one of a flock of 10 and none...

    Calcium deficiency resulted in limping then unable to walk

    Hi Guys, Just thought I'd pass on my recent experience with one of my ISA Browns (Georgie). First sign of anything wrong was soft shelled eggs for 2 days in a row. I should have realised at this point that something was wrong but as the chooks are only a year old I wasn't too worried. The next...

    Last remaining chook - will she get lonely?

    LOL 10 or 20 !!! I went out and got two 12 week old girls for her to boss around. I let them look at each other for a few hours then let them mingle (they have the whole farm to wander around) - well, long story short - now i have two 12 week old chooks up a tree who refuse to come down for...

    Last remaining chook - will she get lonely?

    Hi folks, Lost a chook today which only leaves one left. Will she be lonely? Should I get a couple more? I want to but I'm worried about introducing them to her as she has always been the bossy one. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Jenny

    Chook can't walk

    Thanks Guys, She's an Isa Brown. I got them a year ago from a free range egg place so I guess they move them on after their main egg laying days are over. She must be a couple of years old. I thought that would be a good place to start learning about chooks but now not so sure. She is still...

    Chook can't walk

    Hi Folks, My chook seems to be unable to walk further than a few steps. She will eat and drink if i bring her food and water but otherwise just sits in one spot. She does move around a bit - just a few steps in any direction but seems to be very unstable on her feet. Has been like this for over...

    prolapse or something else?

    Hi Cammy, I've probably done the wrong thing but I have gently pushed the small bit (about 1 centimetre) back inside her and she seemed Ok with that. Unfortunately nothing to take a picture of now though. Have you heard of this before?

    prolapse or something else?

    Hi Folks, My Isa Brown had a large whitish mass hanging from her rear this morning. I checked on here and found that it was probably a prolapse so I washed the area and found that the white mass would come away in clumps. On closer inspection, it is attached to her by a tiny bit but I didn't...
