    Does this bird need to be put down?

    I get that. But my wife is pushing to keep it alive. And it seems to be on the mend as well. It's also a bit of an interesting thing to see. Also I'm not actually spending any money on vet bills or anything like that. I just moved her inside, cleaned the wound as best I could, and gave her a...

    Does this bird need to be put down?

    So she is eating. I think she's drinking as well. But I haven't seen her doing that. Just that she's not eating very often. And she looks like she's losing weight.

    Does this bird need to be put down?

    Thank you for your suggestions. Question though if she doesn't seem to be eating should we attempt to force feed her. Either with a syringe or other things like that?

    Does this bird need to be put down?

    Though she is not eating much. And the area above the green the skin was torn completely. Muscle exposed. I was able to peel away from muscle. The top portion of the tear seems to have healed nicely enough. But the section between her two knees seems to be what I'm concerned with.

    Does this bird need to be put down?

    Month and a half older pullet. Hurt in the leg by a raccoon I think. Been trying to clean the wound. And nurse her back to health for the last 3 days. Last night this green coloration showed up. And now it's showing up in a few more places. My main question is. Is this a infection and should...

    Is this 3/4 week old Jersey Giant a rooster?

    Yes I noticed it was slow to mature compared to the other ones. That's a shame because me and my wife were hoping to keep that one. She even had a name for it. Katana. Which yes I know is a Japanese sword. But in Hebrew it means small. Kind of based on the same idea of calling the big...

    Is this 3/4 week old Jersey Giant a rooster?

    I've been raising this Jersey Giant chick for 3 or 4 weeks. And now I'm starting to get a little concerned whether or not it is a rooster. Here are pictures. My concerns stem mainly from: 1. Comb and wattle development. It's comb and wattles developed a little earlier than its hatchmates...

    Blue Australorp Sex Link crosses

    My question is. If you cross a blue Australorp rooster with a Bard Rock hen, you get a black sex link right? My question is does Blue Australorp work for "Red" Sex Links? If you crossed it with a Rhode Island White or a Delaware would that work?

    Black Jersey Giant x Rhode Island White or Bard Rock cross

    My question is I'm pretty sure that if you cross a solid black chicken with a bard chicken you get a standard black sex-link. Though I imagine without the really cool red or yellow on the chest. What happens if you do a red sex-link cross with a black rooster instead? I imagine it would work...
