    Sick chicken

    We've done what we can and need some help! Our 3 year old chicken is on day three of living in our bathroom after we found her laying on the floor of the coop one morning unable to stand or walk. Nothing appears injured or broken and she can move both wings and feet, she just doesn't bear...

    Broody hen but eggs aren't hatching

    That sounds good. We will candle a couple and see. I know other hens haven't been laying there because my kids fenced off her area when it seemed like she may have been getting broody to try and 'convince' her to sit since she has been our best mama hen each year. So at least they are all from...

    Broody hen but eggs aren't hatching

    We don't have an incubator, but we could get one if we find that there are some viable and see that she is needing to eat. It's good to know I can still candle them. Thank you!

    Broody hen but eggs aren't hatching

    We have a few roosters so yes, I think at least some of the 7 should have been developing. We never candled them unfortunately. I just didn't know if perhaps they didn't start when I thought they did, and were still in the process. Bummer.

    Broody hen but eggs aren't hatching

    Hi everyone, We have a broody hen who has been with her nest for about 30 days now. I say 'with her nest' because we thought she was sitting, but after about a week I found that she had laid an egg in the area we fenced off for her, but away from the nest. She has raised chicks successfully for...

    She is looking almost good as new now. Appropriate feed and vitamin, plus we tried the nutritional yeast too. Thanks for your help!

    Medicine for limping goose?

    Got it. This helps. We will try the vitamins and see if we can get Meloxicam to help her out. Hopefully I'm back before long with a good outcome!

    Medicine for limping goose?

    Thank you so much for the response! We will try these ideas. It is starting to make sense especially as we never noted a clear injury.

    Medicine for limping goose?

    Or maybe there is another anti inflammatory besides Meloxicam, I'm seeing some information about tumeric and also aspirin (but not long term)

    Medicine for limping goose?

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond with all these details. Sometimes it is hard to know where to look for answers and I appreciate the link as well! We will start with the B vitamin and multivitamin and then see if meloxicam might still be needed, since I guess a prescription is...

    Medicine for limping goose?

    There are a couple past posts about limping geese but I couldn't quite find what I needed. We have a two year old female Toulouse goose that has been limping for a few months. It waxes and wanes but she's almost always limping, often heavily. There's no bird vet near us but a large animal vet...
