I just wanted to give an update, Peanuts wings started drooping more so I took her to the vet. She doesn't have coccidiosis and isnt egg bound. She was hulk smashed by our rooster when he got out of his coop and has nerve damage to her wings. So she will continue to be inside. The vet gave her a...
Today she isn't eating at all, but drinking. I went and got Corid and put it in everyone's water. I hope this helps if not she is going to the vet tomorrow.
I think she is fine, she is now up and walking around the house tail perked up making noises. This is my first time with chickens and I'm paranoid. I will go easy on the scraps, I only feed them warm breakfast once a week.
Crop is fine, it's full but not hard and no mites or lice. She had oatmeal with mealworms and vegetables with layer feed for breakfast and ate fine. Her poos are solid then she had a white runny one a few minutes after. I have her in her pen inside the house away from the others. She did eat a...
This is Peanut my 6 month old therapy pullet. She ate breakfast and is pooping normal but she was sitting puffed up in the corner of the coop with her back to me. I brought her in and her comb gets red then pale and her tail is down. She has never laid an egg yet, so I don't know if it's her...
I just acquired this pretty baby. At the moment we assume its a she and her name is Madame Leota. She is 6 weeks old and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if she is actually a she.
I will work on getting pictures tomorrow of Bleu.i left over the weekend and when I came back I swear she has so many more feathers and is a totally different chicken. The feathers on her legs and feet are even longer and more full.
I just wanted to give an update on what is going on with my chicken from this feed. Peepers the suspect rooster is a hen.... We went to the vet and it was verified that he is actually a she so I am glad I didn't get rid of her. Bleu the little special one is also a hen and is bantam. She still...
I am an aide in the school so yes I know exactly when they hatched. I was just reading another thread of someone who had 2 hens that were about the same size as Bleu at 11 weeks. She is really starting to feather out and has normal little poops like Peepers but much smaller. I just figure we...
I have a heat lamp set up for Bleu and I have to talk to my daughter about Peepers because he is her best friend. She is 9 with not many friends and has invested her heart into these 2 chickens. I know someone with a farm that may be an option for Peepers
We only have a small coop since we only had the 2 of them. Peeps free ranges a lot during the day unless we leave. I know Bleu isn't the best looking but we keep giving her a fighting chance. She is happy and eats and moves about well. I didntdihave much hope for her but we keep on going.
