    Bloody rear end and missing tail feathers

    It does still smell. My husband was already at tractor supply picking up feed and an antiseptic for this guy. I called him and asked him to have someone help him find the penicillin... thank you for the recommendation.

    Bloody rear end and missing tail feathers

    She’s cleaned up. I ran warm water over her soaked a rag in warm water with a little peroxide and gently wiped it over the area. Now that I have her clean and out of the coop I can see it much better and the previous poster was correct, it’s way above the vent so at least that puts me at ease (I...

    Bloody rear end and missing tail feathers

    I brought lulu in and started trying to clean her up and she’s having no part of it so I am waiting for my husband who will be home in a few minutes. It smells foul! I’m afraid to hurt her/him, any further by fighting her and cleaning her alone. When my husband gets in I’ll hav thin hold her...

    At a loss... is this a rooster??

    Bloody rear end and missing tail feathers

    I went to let my chickens out of their coop this morning and one of my silkies has a bloody rear end. She/ he is acting normal but I’m concerned being it’s bright red blood. To me it’s rear looks swollen but I’m not sure if that’s just because I can see it now instead of it’s feathery fluffy...

    Does stress make chickens throw up?

    we finally moved our baby chickens to their new coop today. They range in ages 12-7 weeks old. Before today they have been in a small coop on our patio. Almost instantly I’ve seen a few of them vomit (like a clear spit up), could this be stress related? What else would cause this? Some of them...

    Dealing with more than one Rooster

    Thank you... I forgot to inform you guys that some are brown leghorns. the difficult thing is we only have our buddies word. he claims his flock is made up of only true americuana's and brown legorns. he hatched the chicks out and brought them straight over. this is my first time growing a flock...

    Dealing with more than one Rooster

    Sorry i should have noted we know that some may be brown leghorns. Again, this is a hatch we received from a friend to grow out so i cant say without a doubt. My husband and i were looking at the bachelor pad idea last night. i was just worried if that would work. I didn't know what others...

    Thank you. I did reach out to her immediately. She refunded me for the silkie, she said if i wanted a replacement i would have to pay shipping again so i opted for my money back :( . we did have two other silkies in the shipment and they have thrived. It just broke my heart to see this little...

    Dealing with more than one Rooster

    I wanted to see how everyone deals with more than one rooster. So I posted earlier this week that we hatched out 27 (incubated 30) Americuana chicks... We intended on keeping 6 and giving the rest to new homes (never did we think 27 would hatch and that all 27 would be so healthy and thrive)...

    Received baby Silkie Chick with messed up leg.

    Just wanted to say thank you again. Unfortunately, she didn't make it. I think she was just too small to begin with she was half the size of the other two silkies she hatched with and with a broken leg she just wasnt set up for success. I tried everything i could :(
