    Thanks for the “hug” I needed that! Tomorrow I’ll post a picture of the rest. Thank heavens they seem healthy :) going on 16 weeks and we’re just about ready to try free range. The coyotes do worry us tho… but we never see them in the day time and our ladies are safely locked up by dusk so...

    Lost Roo yesterday. Wanted to let you wonderful people who helped me through this. I honestly had gotten to the point where I was thinking the most humane thing was to put him down. He just very slowly got worse to where he could hardly stand. It was devastating to watch. The best description I...

    I started him on B and E as soon as someone suggested it. I'm putting the electrolites with vitamins in his water (they've been getting that on and off since they arrived) and we started scrambled eggs yesterday. I don't have any probiotics on hand, but hubby is going to the store and I thought...

    I have a small video of the shaking but can’t seem to get it to upload.

    He’s still shaking when he walks but seems better standing. Is eating and drinking some but not much. Beak looks a little funny to me- attaching a picture. Also, wondering if he’s not seeing well. I tried to give him some chopped zucchini in my hand and he couldn’t seem to pick up a piece out of...

    Broken feather (with blood) on feathered foot. Hurts.

    I think it takes 2 people. I held my Roo and Hubby used pliers (disinfected with alcohol) to gently as possible grab and pull the pin feather out. We were careful, like instructed to pull straight out so it didn’t break off. I had a paper towel with alcohol and held it until the bleeding...

    For Everyone that’s been so helpful…. Hubby and I carefully pulled the pin feather. It did bleed some but not too much. We sprayed it with Blue. Back in the pen at first he didn’t shake and I was ecstatic,but after a little while he started to again. I’m going to leave him in the pen for the...

    Thank you! He was supposed to be vaccinated by Meyers Hatchery before being shipped so I don’t think that is the problem, at least I really hope not.

    Thank you! It’s been 40 years since I had chickens and it seems to have gotten a lot more complicated 🤪 but the ladies have gotten a lot prettier too

    Didn’t plan to buy medicated but rural king only had the grower in medicated. And I didn’t want to give them anymore of the layer. I’ll let you know how pulling it works out. How do you go about giving the vitamins? Do I mix with water and use a dropper or put on top of food?

    It’s just got a little pink spot in the shaft. It’s on the side of his leg but near the foot. I’ve got him buttoned up for the night but I’ll check again in the morning to see if it’s touching the ground or his foot when he stands or walks. If it does do I pull it? And is there anything special...

    One pin feather looks like it might have been picked a little but he doesn’t act like it’s sore. He’s very unhappy being in the pen by himself.
