    Infected hock looks horrible

    Thank you! She was the lone survivor of our first flock of 4, Pyrenees broke into the run when we turned our backs. (They we’re all new to each other…had them separated but the door wasn’t latched properly) she had a minor limp for months after that, but was doing well and getting around great...

    Infected hock looks horrible

    We have a chicken who has what the vet called a slipped tendon. She sits on her hock and hardly ever moves and this is the result. We have taken her to the vet twice without any clear instructions and she said it wasn’t infected and to keep it protected. We made a wheelchair and tried therapy...

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    I have great news! Thelma is back with her ducks! They were so happy to be reunited that I have to share a photo. She is still missing a lot of feathers under her wings, but her skin is all healed up and she is walking so much better. I’m not sure I would have gotten more chickens if she hadn’t...

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    Thank you! After sleeping on it, and seeing her perk up today, I see I do need to find her some more friends. She seems more aware that she is alone today.

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    These pics are the best I could get-she is very chirpy this morning and can’t tell if it’s pain or she is looking for her friends, so I didn’t want to lift her wings up too much. I am giving her the pain meds the vet gave us-but I have to put it in her food because I don’t want to forcibly open...

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    Thank you. These are supposed to be all girls, but I hear that they are hard to determine sex while young. they are getting older and I’ll try to see if I can tell yet. I was hoping to spoil them and give them their best life. It’s hard for me to think about getting more, but I know “Thelma”...

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    Thanks for your response…I guess I didn’t realize that there are so many health issues. Which chicks are less prone to reproductive issues and make good pets? I really don’t care about eggs, just thought it would be a nice bonus. I definitely don’t plan on raising them for food…I have had a...

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    I feel like I have so much to learn and have no idea what I am doing some days. (Most days) There is so much information out there that it gets very confusing. I really thought this would be a nice hobby and we could get some eggs and I never thought about disease or death😣 and I am a nurse!!

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    One of the pups is 4 months old and pretty much ignores them, but the 1 1/2 year old seemed way too interested, so I am pretty sure he instigated the whole thing. I just don’t know if I should get more chicks at this point or give up…I guess I’m not very good at a loss of life, which makes me...

    Pyrenees killed three chicks

    Hi-I’m new to chicks and ducks and the whole farming thing, and want to be the best animal mom I can be, so I have been researching and doing everything I’m supposed to be doing…or so I thought. I have 2 Great Pyrenees that have been at the farm for about a month now. I raised 4 chicks and two...
