    Versions of "chick chairs" PLEASE!

    That’s where our thoughts went first as well but fortunately she is not positive for Mareks after testing her. We think that the severe case of wry caused so much swelling in her brain that it damaged the optic nerve. Her eyes look very normal but just do not have pupillary response. I’m...

    Versions of "chick chairs" PLEASE!

    I appreciate the help with her but I am working with a vet. I was just looking to get more details on the “wheelchair”.

    Do you have other photos? I’d love to be able to build something similar for my Cochin, Lilo. She got botulism followed by an extreme case of wry neck that has rendered her blind.

    I know this is an old post but I was wondering what you did for your Silkie that had wet pox. We have one right now and we’re working really hard to help her survive this 🥺

    I’m curious if there is an essential oil to assist in clearing an impacted crop. Also, can you recommend any books or websites that can help educate me on using oils with my chickens. I’m an avid user of oils with my family and I’d like to start using them with our beloved pets.

    Just rescued this hen who’s maybe 2yrs old...what breed is she?

    Her comb looks like a strawberry or pea comb...I can take a picture later. What mix do you think she is? We were thinking she had some Seabright in her or possibly New England Game Hen. Wanting mostly to know what her breed tendencies will be when we introduce her to our existing flock.

    Silkie roo or hen?

    This is our silkie olive, she is 12 weeks old and she has started to sound like a goose. Is that a sign of a roo or is that normal for a hen?

    Roo or hen?

    This is our 7 week old Cochin chick. She has started to get red waddles and comb. We can’t tell if it’s a roo or hen. She was vent sexed when we got her but now we can’t tell.

    Feather loss in my 4-week old chick

    I have no idea if her vent is distended...it doesn’t seem irritated and she poops just fine...yes, I watch as I’m a neurotic new chicken mom 😬

    Feather loss in my 4-week old chick

    She has one chick with her and I’ve never noticed any pecking being done. They’re right next to my desk so I’m with them often.
