    Chicken suddenly can't stand (Help)

    I've hatched chicks (unvaccinated) and bought others (vaccinated). The two that haven't died were vaccinated. One of them looks almost better, but the other developed wry neck. I'm treating that with vitamins. Not sure it was Marek's. The fact that two chicken's haven't died makes me suspect...

    Chicken suddenly can't stand (Help)

    Update: This was illness. I'm guessing Marek's, but maybe Newcastle. Clara died, as well as another two year old chicken (Quinn). On top of that two other chickens became sick. However, neither look as bad and they both appear to be getting better. I've been giving them vitamin & electrolytes in...

    Chicken suddenly can't stand (Help)

    Her last egg was two weeks ago. I will try to treat her for being egg bound. I haven't had much luck with that, but I will try. She looked normal two days ago, but I don't remember her being active yesterday. I saw her sitting in the shed and though nothing of it, when I reached out to pet her...

    Chicken suddenly can't stand (Help)

    Our 2 year old Buff Orpington can't stand. if she tries she just flops on her side. She was vaccinated as a chick. I gave her water with some electrolytes in it. I had to dunk her beak, to get her to take the water. She isn't interested in food, but I will try some soften with a little water...

    Bielefelder Brahma Cross

    I just bought a Brahma/Bielefelder mix from the feed store. They said they've done them a few times and they're sexlinked and great chickens. I'll see how it goes. Brahmas are such great chickens that I decided to give it a try.

    Pasty Butt in 2 year old chicken

    I think you may be right. I looked up how to treat it. I'll start working getting her better.

    Pasty Butt in 2 year old chicken

    I'm not certain it is pasty butt, just looks like it. Here's a picture I was holding off, because I don't want to gross anyone out. My chickens have a large run about 3000 square feet. I have 13 chickens. One of the other chickens does beat up on this one & others, but it's her head feathers...

    Pasty Butt in 2 year old chicken

    My Ameraucana's vent is all pasty. It also looks like parts of the inside are out & all red. She's two. I've had pasty butts in chicks, but not a hen. I soaked her for 5 minutes and lightly wiped it with a wet cloth. I have a picture, but didn't want to post it unless asked. Any advice. She's...

    Letting Chicken out of Jail

    Thanks. I was worried that I'd start a chicken fight if I threw her back in in the day time.

    Letting Chicken out of Jail

    We have a very aggressive EE. She is mounting chickens and pulling feathers out of other chickens heads. Three look terrible because of this. She also Crows regularly. (Yes she's a girl. She lays Olive colored eggs). So I put her in jail. She's been in her own pen on the opposite side of the...

    Chicken Hip

    I've read other threads on dislocated hips, but have a more specific question. I don't know what happened to my chicken. It could have been caught by a predator or it could have jumped from too high. One of my one year old hens wouldn't get up or put weight on her right leg (this happened in the...

    When Is a Rooster First Fertile

    I've tried to find the answer to this question, but haven't found it yet. Is a 7 week old rooster fertile. This is Kelp, he's Ameraucana & Leghorn mix. He found his voice last week at just under 6 weeks. Now he's 7 weeks and I've seen him mate our silky hen twice today. All the other hens are...
