    Chick died..clear, yellow mucus/throw up. Other chicks in danger?

    Thank you. I really appreciate your valuable information. I will treat the others in case coccidiosis is the case. Because it was so sudden (went from a normal acting chick to passing only in a few hours) could any respiratory issues be a culprit? Brooder pneumonia or anything else? I ask...

    Chick died..clear, yellow mucus/throw up. Other chicks in danger?

    Thank you for your reply. I’m in Virginia. Looks like I can have a consultation for free with a vet but any idea on the cost to have a necropsy performed? And should I go ahead and treat the other chicks with the Corid to be safe?

    Chick died..clear, yellow mucus/throw up. Other chicks in danger?

    Hi all.. I just posted a bit ago asking for help with a 3 week old baby chick who seemed to be gasping for breath. She just died and after she passed had lots of clear/yellowish mucus coming out of her mouth. She also pooped something similar before passing. I’m concerned it could be something...

    Help!! Chick gasping for breath?

    I have a friend who hatched black copper marans 3 weeks ago. They have all been doing fine except today one keeps opening her mouth as if she’s gasping for breath but not making any noise. She doesn’t seem to have anything in her throat. They haven’t been vaccinated and she’s feeding medicated...

    Freshly Laid Rotten Eggs and Mice?

    I’ve caught several mice and still see more. I know poison is a no-no but really considering it. The eggs look totally normal on the outside. I haven’t taken a picture of a rotten one because it’s so disgusting I try to get rid of it as fast as I can. Next time I have one though, I will post a...

    Freshly Laid Rotten Eggs and Mice?

    I’ve recently started getting some rotten eggs from my flock. I know they are fresh but when I crack them open, they stink and are black. I’m worried now that people I’ve given eggs to will have rotten ones! I’ve seen some posts on this with no for sure cause but am really concerned that I have...

    Scissor Beak...Laying?

    She did come out of the box and is acting her normal self again! She’s also laying almost every day! Thank you for asking. It took some work to get her to this point but most of it she has figured out on her own. Mine was also about 4 weeks when I started noticing it. It’s pretty severe now but...

    Scissor Beak...Laying?

    Thank you everyone for your replies. You are all so helpful. So now I’m concerned not that she’s starving to death but that she is eating too much and not emptying her crop sufficiently. I’ll check in the morning how it feels then go from there with that one. With the eggs... I did notice just...

    Scissor Beak...Laying?

    I have a scissor beak hen who is almost a year old. She isn’t doing perfect, but she eats a mash of food and is almost the same size as the other hens. She has lost quite a few feathers on her back. Almost all my hens have bald spots after I gave away my rooster but hers are worst than the rest...

    Rooster? Scissor Beak

    He is beautiful! I have grown very attached to him so I would hate to get rid of him..but I have never had a rooster and also have a 4 year old who loves to help with the chickens. They are in a large run but I also only have 5 pullets so I'm worried about their health as well with the rooster.

    Rooster? Scissor Beak

    Hi everyone! I received 6 baby chicks several months ago from a coworker who got them from a feed store, sold to her as "female Americanas". I'm now understanding that these are Easter Eggers and am afraid one of them may not be a hen! Hoping someone can give me a for sure answer on this...
