    Chicken off her feet

    Hi everyone, I'm just popping on as I'm looking for some wisdom from the wonderful BYC community. I found my Pekin Bantam, Norma, flopped at the bottom of her coop yesterday evening. She hadn't been able to make it up the ramp. She was pale, her wings were droopy, she was lethargic and her...

    Desperate for some advice on vent prolapse (photos)

    Just wanted to give everyone a little update. She was taken to the vets this morning and it turns out that the egg had moved out of the cloaca and into a different tissue and this is what had prolapsed. Because of this there was nowhere for the egg to go and it was completely encased outside of...

    Thanks for your reply and advice, it's much appreciated. I'll see if I can buy some Tums now and will do my best to lubricate the egg out.

    Desperate for some advice on vent prolapse (photos)

    Hi, thanks for your help! I don't have any to hand but I'll look into it and see if I can get some this afternoon. In terms of keeping it moist, would olive oil do the trick or should I make sure it's coconut oil or ky jelly? Thanks again

    Desperate for some advice on vent prolapse (photos)

    Thanks so much for your reply! I'll definitely give the sugar and honey a try. I've given her two warm long soaks but unfortunately it hasn't helped her pass the egg (I'm fairly certain there's an egg stuck in there) so I'm a bit afraid to handle it too much in case I break the egg...

    Desperate for some advice on vent prolapse (photos)

    Hi everyone, When we went out to check our flock yesterday afternoon, we noticed that one of our Pekin bantams had a severely prolapsed vent, I think other chickens had been pecking at it as there was also some blood. It looks like there might possibly be an egg trapped within the prolapsed...

    Lame Maran help

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice as my lovely Maran hen has been lame for a couple of weeks now. She's two years old and otherwise seems very healthy. Her weight seems good, she's still alert, (very) keen on her food and going about her day like normal. Her only symptoms are a limp...

    Help needed - Chicken with gunked up eye.

    Thank you both for your replies! I'm trying to get a photo of the eye now. However, this hen (Grumpy Jane) is definitely not fond of the camera. I'll post a photo as soon as I get one that isn't blurred! I'll phone the vets tomorrow and hopefully get her some antibiotics. Do chickens often...

    Help needed - Chicken with gunked up eye.

    This morning I noticed our Silkie/Araucana cross was standing hunched up, on one foot, in the corner of the run. I've been keeping an eye on her today as this was out of character for her and have now noticed white discharge collecting in the inner corner of her left eye. Her breathing is also...

    Hard bony lump high on left hand side of chickens neck?

    Hi Azygous, Thanks for your reply. Is there anything that can be done to treat a cancer tumour? Is it worth taking her to a vet?

    Hard bony lump high on left hand side of chickens neck?

    Hi Azygous, Thanks for your reply! I've tried to get a picture but unfortunately nothing shows up on camera. The lump isn't visible without parting the feathers and feels anchored to one spot. The lump is about an inch from the earlobe, 1.5 inches from the beak and around 2 inch from the...

    Hard bony lump high on left hand side of chickens neck?

    This morning I noticed a small, hard lump on the left hand side of my bantams neck. She doesn't seem completely herself but she is eating and drinking as normal, her combe is bright red and her poo seems to be normal in terms of quantity, consistency and colour. I have noticed after drinking...

    Dislocated wing? Please help!

    hello, I've just noticed my little Pékin bantam's wing seems to be stuck across her back, she's unable to move it. (photo attached.) I don't want to pull the wing down in case I do any damage, I was wondering if anyone had seen this before and could advise what I should do? Thanks in advance...
