    Paralyzed chicken?

    So its possible to remove all the mites? She has put yeast (for the vitamin 5 complex) in the mash for the chicken and did end up adding some egg to the mix. They unfortunately did put the hen down yesterday, but thank you so much for these tips. I'll tell her the chicken lifestyle changes and...

    Paralyzed chicken?

    oh then that may be the cause. My friend said she was 6 months old. They ended her after all because she got worse, but I would still like to gain every tip from this that I can in case of another chicken having it again

    Paralyzed chicken?

    I'll ask my friend about her age, but she is under three. No, she cant stand when lifted, its a cheer if she can even keep her legs straight on purpose. she can move her neck and seems to have some erratic control over it, as for the wings, maybe only slightly. From what I was told, she started...

    Paralyzed chicken?

    I may have failed to mention that my friend wrote the post for her own hen, and not mme (the owner of thw account). From what she's told me though I will try to answer: the chickens' diets are very wide. While they do have regular chicken feed, I would be confident in saying at least half of...

    Paralyzed chicken?

    My chicken has been sick for two days. At first it was some sort of extreme lethargy, and she was found loafed. It progressed to something akin to paralysis, as she can only twitch and squirm without coordination, and she is completely flopped. Her eyes are not clouded or dilated. She opens and...

    Chick with lung puncture wounds

    The inside was bubbling up a lot so I decided to hold the chick and keep enough pressure on the skin to keep it from getting ballooned. If this is actually a bad idea pls let me know :')

    Chick with lung puncture wounds

    I left my chick to roam while we went out for 2 hours, and when I came back I couldn't find it at first. I found it by faint chirping in tall grass, and saw the neighborhood cat leap over the fence. The chick seemed alright, just not very active. Then I lifted the right wing and found two...

    Chicken drinking too much water

    She does Sh She does have mites, though I don't think she has lice. As far as I observed she didn't favor either foot, but would stand on one for a long while with her eyes closed. I felt her legs/chest and while she had enough food in her gullet to be semi-full, there's little meat on her...

    Chicken drinking too much water

    I'm not sure, but she did get attacked by an opossum a few weeks ago and has a lot of feathers to grow. I haven't seen any of my other chickens act like this during their moult, or her in previous moults

    Chicken drinking too much water

    Idk if this is the right place for this, but my hen is acting strange. She drinks excessively. As in, 30 minutes non stop if I don't take her out. She's also lighter than before, her nails are growing out which could mean she isn't as active, she stands half asleep with either foot tucked in...
