    what’s wrong with this chicken? is this EYP?

    The panting was upsetting. It is how they keep cooler, like dogs do. Try to keep her where she is cooler. Pequeña is allowed in my house and we have cool air, not air conditioner, which might get too cold? I did give her a very small amount of antibiotic, and she has been getting oregano in her...

    what’s wrong with this chicken? is this EYP?

    Yes. pequeña does the same. I kept her in the kitchen yesterday where it was cool and then she went out at the end of the day. I have been concerned that she has that respiratory sickness that hens get, but the coolness helped. also the epsom bath. I will do that everyday. Oregano is super for a...

    what’s wrong with this chicken? is this EYP?

    Zen starling…….another thought. My chicks are free to roam. Pequeña perks up when I dig in the soil. There are no bugs…..again our strange environment these days……but she pecks in the soil. Soil is know to be the best place to absorb natural antibiotics. I am hoping the soil will help her. I...

    I just lost my reply, but My Pequeña seems to have the exact same symptoms. I don’t know if you are aware of the extreme activity of the sun and our magnetic field, but it is affecting sensitive people, and I am thinking it is affecting Pequeña. The heat also does not help. i have added oregano...

    Adult Chicken's legs suddenly spread wide apart - help please

    My Pequeña has the same symptoms.now for maybe two months. Her sister with similar combo of RIRed and White Leghorn did a month ago. I tried helping her but could get no help from a vet. Pequeña continues to struggle, sometimes with more strength. Sometimes less. I have just added apple cider...

    Very big egg

    Thank you. It really freaked me out. Eggs until now have been medium to large, but not super large like the one this morning. I am not sure how to post a photo here. I did change from organic crumble back to not organic. They were not eating the organic, turned their beaks up at it. They also...

    Very big egg

    One of my chickens laid a very large egg today. I do not want to encourage this. I want the chicks to be comfortable. Large eggs are NOT comfortable. What should I do? Does it have to do with what I am feeding them.?

    Momma, Papas Pequeña, and Chula

    I came to BYC looking for info off and on during the past summer when the chicks were still young. I knew nothing. The chicks had been gifted to me and I had no clue what to do, other than I had been a Mom myself for 4 kids. So I knew how to love chicks. And I did. And do. my chicks go by the...

    What time are hawks active?

    I live in Rhode Island, and yesterday, Feb. 17, we had a hawk attack. The chicks have been free ranging all winter. This was a first. Like yours, my beautiful Momma survived. The chicks (4) went berserk and perhaps their racket deterred further damage. She lost feathers and the four found cover...
