    Sick Hen…Assistance/Advice Needed

    My Gerty is 2 1/2 ur old Buff Orpington. She has been a bit lethargic over the last few days. Follows the flock but lays down rather than peck.

    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

    I remember it was low and not by antibiotic creams. It’s been a while since I got it. And a little goes a long way.

    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

    1. What did you do? Took advice on bumble foot “surgery”. 2. What were the consequences? Stress and pain (even though she didn’t show it) and daily wrapping which I have since found stupid and completely unnecessary. 3. Did you fix it? How? Yes. I now use Prid. Administered to the spot each...

    4 day old chicks foot needs help

    He did. He said it was not great but not the worst he’d seen. The weird welp on the her footbed was a big bruise. She goes back Tuesday for a check up. I created another post because I’m unsure of the amount of sleep or rest a hurt chick should or should not be having. It has all her data in...

    4 day old chicks foot needs help

    I have a little rescue Cooper Moran that seems to have a broken leg. Someone placed a stent on it. I’ll check it later. Currently, I’m concerned about her foot. There seems to be an odd patch and a bit of swelling. Does anyone know what this is? If so, recommend protocol of healing?
