    Help! getting ready to treat my backyard flock for respiratory symptoms and just read on the package of tylovet soluble powder that it shouldn't be given to laying hens. What to do?

    Bumblefoot flare up

    Hello, my big blue Andalusian has another flare up with Bumblefoot again. Her last one was last summer. We seperated her in a clean dog crate for about 2 weeks. I was able to sort of peel the scab away a bit and used vetericyn gel on her feet twice a day, and put her on amoxicillin. I don't...

    Barred Hen or a Rooster?

    Funny...it's ok actually. We'll keep him. We're allowed to have them where we live, everyone has them. He's actually really sweet to us, but a bit of a bully to the flock. I mean one minute he's hanging out with the girls, then the next minute he or she gives them a run for their money and...

    Hen with dislocated/broken leg

    Hello, thank you for this post, it was helpful...although I haven't quite decided if we will take our hen to the vet yet. We believe her leg is broken. She can't put any weight on it at all, and keeps in underneath her, pointed straight back with the top of the foot facing downward, like we...

    Injured Hen - Leg or Hip?

    Hello, We have a quite large Barred Plymouth Rock hen that is injured. About a month ago, my husband saw her jump off the roost for some scratch he was giving them(not very high) and land on one of the others back. They both freaked out and she immediately walked away with a limp. She was...

    Chicken crop problem

    Thank you for your post....she died about an hour ago. Definitely some sort of blockage. I don't know. Sad. Confused. I certainly didn't think having chickens would be this hard? Shouldn't be right? 3 dead from my original 4? The remaining one is thriving. Oh well, learning. I'm an animal...

    Chicken crop problem

    Hello, I'm a new chicken owner and have some questions on crop issues. We are new chicken owners. We started with 4, and we lost two. Starting to think it was more where they came from than us. We are animal lovers and if anything go overboard and borderline obsess on taking care of them...

    Dirty bottoms

    Hello, it looks like this is an old thread, but could still use some advice? I'm a new chicken owner and need help....I have a year old ameraucana with a nasty butt. It looks like a crime scene. I just got her 2 days ago from a very good friend, so she really doesn't know me very well. She is a...

    Hello.....new to chickens

    Thank you so much...:) We still have two of the original four that are thriving. They are the silliest things. We plan on adding to the flock very soon. This was sad, but grateful for the experience. I always thought birds were different than caring for dogs and cats. Turns out they really...

    Hello.....new to chickens

    Hello....just checking with those that responded so kindly to my post. I came home from work today and she just didn't look good. Really no worse, but certainly no better. I took her to a bird vet this evening, and I'm sad to say we put her down. He said she was so severely under developed, and...
