    Any Hope??

    oh no! i’m so sorry, i hope he comes back, it seems like it is certainly a good possibility, though. i don’t know if this is the right time to suggest this so i apologize if it feels not good: we have for this very reason chosen non-flying breeds (black & blue swedish, cayuga), that is...

    any practical ideas on gout in my hen? she is 5 years old. the vet recommended low protein food but i am not sure how that can happen when i have 21 other chickens. we could give her meloxicam, but she actually doesn’t appear to be in pain so not sure if this would be helpful. i just wanted to...

    Is this Bumblefoot? Help! No weight-bearing after injury

    how did things go?

    My old hen is slowly dieing, how can I help her during her last days?

    sounds like she could be egg bound. have you given her warm baths to try & help her get the egg out maybe? i think you can give aspirin to chickens in water, if you google it you can find the dose. you are a good chicken mother worrying about her comfort, she’s lucky you are looking out for her.

    Is this Bumblefoot? Help! No weight-bearing after injury

    maybe some meloxicam from vet or aspirin in her water to help the inflammation? my duck is having walking problems & i brought her to the vet. would not recommend that unless they know about ducks which this one doesn’t. good luck, i hope your baby is better soon!
