I have a hen that is about a little over a year old, and she has had sour crop for a few months now. (Yes, I know I'm terrible for letting it go on..) In the past couple weeks I've turned her upside down a couple times and she's thrown up at least half a cup each time of smelly liquid. I...

I actually started giving some of mine treats as early as 1 week, as for foods to avoid and give, here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2593-Treats_Chart It's very helpful!

The dried fuzz isn't a problem, and chicks take naps regularly. They sound like happy little chickies to me!

Thank you for the link~ She does that whenever I pick her up or apply pressure to her crop.

What do you do for the bumblefoot?? It feels gassy, yes.

Alright, I return to BYC sadly for some help :C I have 2 chickens with 2 separate problems 1st with the bubbles- I have this chicken of mine and her crop has always been kind of bigger I noticed, but recently when I pick her up, she starts swallowing, and earlier when I picked her up, all these...

I have this one Salmon Faverolle chick, Fawn, who is developing a crooked beak [or crossed beak is the term?] and its worrying me a bit, but really bothering my dad. I heard you can stick Penetran on it to relax the muscles so it falls back into place, but she squirms too much and I cant even...

Thanks for the caps! We did get rid of our rooster though, and i think ill just eat it..i havent had breakfast yet anyways Plus I dont want anything wrong with the little chickies~<3 Thank Yew ~Yoko Quote:

Ok so in another forum i posted about my buff orp having a cut on her neck from a rooster. Its just minor and she seems to be doing ok with it~ But today, she wouldnt be quiet in her cage, so i thought id let her out to roam my room for a minute,when i found her first egg! I must say, I am...

Ok Thank You I shall do~ ~ Yoko Quote: I agree. Also, I would dampen a papetowel and gently clean the bloody areas. I would just let the torn skin mend itself or fall off and swipe the wounded areas with anti-bacterial cream. I hope your hen feels better!

Mmk, at the moment im not really sure how or whether i should clean it and what i should do about the little bit of skin hanging off,i think its a bit of her earlobe. Any help about that would be appreciated~ ~Yoko

Oh BYC.. Im posting here again and so close together from my other post form the other day But luckily this post is different and I just need some advice~ My rooster lately has been very mean, and so a little bit ago i got home from school and decided to visit my chickens, when i picked up my...
