I’m looking at the pinless peepers for my aggressive gals. I’m hoping someone here has some experience with them? I can’t imagine they would be easy to put in??
I’ve got her in chicken jail:) she can see the others and they can see her. As soon as I let her out today to free range a bit, the others pounced in her. I will let the others out and leave her in the coop with more freedom tomorrow. I’m so hoping this doesn’t continue. It’s pretty clear now...
I can’t believe it she is almost 100 percent today! Neck looks so much better and she is up and about! Next problem, my other girls are trying to murder her! I’ve built a chicken jail in my coop which makes her so unhappy! anyone tried the chicken goggles?!?
Today she is still around and looking a bit stronger, neck is still twisted but less so, and she’s holding it up a bit more. I’ve gotten her to eat a bit and drink a fair amount. I will keep at it tomorrow and hopefully she’ll look even better then!
Thanks for that help, this helps me a bit. I don’t think it’s botulism because she was walking and flapping fine the day before. Marked is a possibility, I’ve only had her three weeks and she’s been a bit odd the whole time. She almost always stayed in the coop and hid from others even though...
Thanks so much, I think it was an injury from another chicken. Is it possible for her to recover from this? With everything you posted? She can move her wings and legs a bit I think but she’s so out of it she’s not trying much.
Thanks for your reply.
I have isolated and held her neck for her so she could eat some cat food. I figured it was a quick way to get in some calories and some moisture.
I got her from a local breeder. No rooster, nothing in the coop for sure, but I do notice a little bit of blood on the right...
Hi Friends,
My barred rock is laying on the coop floor with her poor neck twisted totally around.
I would like to try to straighten it out but I'm afraid to break her neck.
When I feel her neck there is a twist and she appears to be stuck that way.
I've only had her about 3 weeks and she is...
This happened to me as well, it's causing my spool to mess up and I have to go out and run the line all the way out and then put it all back in. How'd you crazy glue it? Just around the outside of the metal piece?
I had that happen too! My silkie started doing that when her friends left her in the coop. I actually thought she was a rooster for a while because of it, but not long after she started laying.
I wonder if your Buff is close to laying?
I also have corn behind my coop this year. My girls LOVE to run into the field and run down the rows. They never hide though. I think it's just great bug eating back there.
They don't seem to stray too far and always come back.
