Yeah after her soak I checked her for that and theres definitely an infestation in the flock which explains the feather loss. Could that affect her enlarged abdomen though?
Shes eating and drinking but her eyes are squinty and overall just looks so sad. Just came across another chicken who was bleeding from its vent profusely so sent an urgent message to the landlord. Hoping she takes care of them because I dont want them having a long painful death :(
Hello. So my mother rents out a home thats on a farm and our landlord has several laying hens. I only visit every other weekend and since I have several birds of my own I enjoy hanging out with the other flock.
Ive noticed most of her hens have bare butts with blackened feathers around it which...
I have heard about the cardboard thing so ill definitely try it out. Glad to hear if all else fails he can still have a chance of normalcy. Thank you for your input :)
Hello. I recently took in two 4 day old sebastopols and theyre doing great overall. However, Bill has curled toes and i was wondering how bad its going to affect him as he grows or gets older? He gets around just as well as his brother Ted, but does seem to be a tad bit more clumsy.

Sorry for the late reply! He hangs with my flock of ducks and grew up with his bestfriend Wesley (a duck who thinks hes a goose) since they were born a week or two apart. The two never leave eachother and since its winter here i was just seeing if anybody had suggestions since theres no grass :)...

Hello! So I have a 'rescue' chicken named Bagel, and hes a pretty goofy guy. I got him from a lady after he was bought for meat production and ended up being the victim of some pretty harsh bullying by his brothers and sisters. He had a leg injury and couldnt stand, so I helped him out and now...
I wasnt sure where to post this but considering he's a meat chicken i decided to just post it here. I received Bagel (in a bagel box hense why my mother gave him the name) from one of my mothers clients who raised broilers. Well Bagel had some sort of splayed leg and was very hungry/dehydrated...
I recently got an adorable gosling, the lady said he was a week old maybe 2, and that he was an embden. When i got there, the parents looked like they had some light tan on them but i couldnt see well cuz they were busy puffing up and hissing at me lol. Anyways, i wasnt too concerned because the...
Thank you for replying, and ill definitely pursue the vitamins. He looks relatively normal when standing, he just holds his left leg slightly off the ground (one closest to the camera) and uses the other for support
Hello, ive found a lot of helpful things on here in the past and im really hoping for some help on this chick i received. I dont know how old he is exactly but i would guess maybe a week??? Anyways, he was being picked on a lot hense why he was givin to me. He eats wonderfully and drinks no...
