    Ladies or gents?

    I'm looking to expand my pet flock and the seller isn't sure what sex these 3 birds are. What do you all think?

    Foot paralysis??

    Oh--not sure if she was vaccinated before I got her but the vet is experienced in chickens and things it's a temporary paralysis.

    Foot paralysis??

    Thanks so much! She is walking better today if she is scooted--not too much on her own, but she is moving in her cage. What would the dosage be for the B2?

    Foot paralysis??

    I already posted these on the FB page but so far no replies. I need some help for Betty 2, an 8 month year old Australorp. Putting her to sleep is a last resort so I am asking for help here. She has been perfectly normal until a few days ago when we found her huddled up on the coop floor...

    Silver sebright broody???

    All the research I have done says that sebrights rarely go broody but I think my Miss Priss has done just that. First off, she hasn't given me any eggs in a few weeks. (She is a year old and used to lay a sweet little brown egg every day.). Second--she is a flyer and a part of the run they have...

    What would eat everything but the crop?

    Something got into my coop--which I thought was secure. It is in a barn in a renovated horse stall, concrete floor, barn boards halfway and then chicken wire..but I was sadly mistaken. It snuck in through a rat hole I found and all that was left was the crop and espohagus. It even ate my 2...

    Silkie/d'uccle cross chicklettes--gender?

    You all were right--the little dark legged one is my girl Charlie who is laying a light brown egg each day and trying to go broody everytime! The other two have been placed into homes with hens of their own. :) I also want to add that of the 4 keets my d'uccle hen hatched out that each and...

    Newborn keets in trouble :(

    Nemo is doing great! (so named because like the Nemo fish, he too got attacked in the egg, got wet and is a little deformed.) The other keet who just got wet is 100% and I'd say Nemo is 85%. He's eating and drinking on his own and running around, scratching, and peeping. His head is still a...

    Newborn keets in trouble :(

    Changed his name to Tuffy...well, Tuffy survived the night but still isn't eating on his own. I'm nervous about not helping him because he can only see out of his one eye. Today he is more active but now I have another worry--brain damage. He is doing a lot of circles but I'm hoping it's from...

    HELP--keets are hatching now!

    I hope you got pics of that! A very trusted animal loving friend came and took 5 keets--she was only supposed to take 4 but one snuck a ride! I now have 3 with Momma and the 2 in the house. I'm not too sure the little one is going to live but I'm trying! The other one is doing great and could go...

    HELP--keets are hatching now!

    Vick the Hen is in a rabbit cage and brooder box with her chicks and she can't get out. They're in the big coop so the other chickens and guineas can get used to them. I did take her out twice yesterday and once today and she wanted no part of it. She ran right back into the coop to the babies...

    Newborn keets in trouble :(

    I picked up some Nutridrench and gave him a dose. I just gave it to him plain--should I dilute it? How often should I give it? Love the name Crate! If this little guy lives (the right side of his head is so swollen and the eye closed :() my boyfriend wants to name him Lucky--he survived a dunk...

    Newborn keets in trouble :(

    Yes, he's sitting up but shaky--and not that often. Most of the time he stays down and breathes hard. His drinking the sugar water I offer and I'll be giving him some Nutridrench tomorrow. I offered warm milk with soaked bread as well as the eggs and he wasn't interested. The good news is that...
