    Help!!! Potential cocci along with sour crop

    They’re not even a year old about 10 months and they’re our first flock. They perked up a little. I started putting electrolytes, oregano, garlic cloves and nutridrench in their water. Gave them some scrambled eggs and they ate that right up. The house chicken got a little jealous when they were...

    Help!!! Potential cocci along with sour crop

    I live in Portsmouth Virginia. Our area doesn’t have a chicken vet. I think their run might have gotten damp (our makeshift roof isn’t working properly) if it isn’t cocci what might it be? One has bloody stool and a pale comb. The other one is less pale and lethargic but has sour crop. I’m...

    Help!!! Potential cocci along with sour crop

    Hi I recently had an outbreak of what I think to be cocci and sour crop. I don’t know what they ate that caused this but we’ve already lost two of the five chickens in our outdoor flock (we have one house chicken she is upstairs sick chickens are downstairs). I have one bird that appears to have...

    My chicken still doesn’t walk right

    The leg that she’s been putting all her weight on seems slightly larger than her other leg. When she walks she has a tendency to step on her own feet which is why I’ve been putting toenail caps on her toes.

About a week after we got replacement for the 3 that didn’t make it. But one of the original chicks started displaying symptoms of splay leg. We tried treating it the...

    My chicken ate a nail cap

    The toe caps are roughly the size of a pea. I put them on her claws because as she grew her claws got bigger and sharper and despite my trimming them her feet would still get cut up by them. I have her in her own coop away from the others and her feet are healing quite well. I’ll give her some...

    My chicken ate a nail cap

    Thank you so much for your reply I’ll definitely try a small amount of coconut oil. She’s about 15-16 weeks old. She’s the runt of the flock. My six NH red hens are my first backyard flock and it’s been a real struggle. Thanks so much for your help.

    My chicken ate a nail cap

    They were well and good cat caps from petco. Is there anything I can give her to help pass it?

    My chicken ate a nail cap

    So I have one chicken that I’ve separated from the flock twice. As a chick she had splay leg and we helped her strengthen her leg and corrected it but she walks pigeon toed. As she grew it became a problem cuz she cuts her feet with her claws. We separated her again and I placed kitty nail caps...
