The 2 pictures with the white Chanteclerc above are from the same bird :) Still acting like a badass little roo with all the other male Plymouth haha. I'll look into it tomorrow :)
This one, however, I think it's a pullet :
Thank you guys!
I will tomorrow, it's dark now outside :)
I have 4 Plymouth that I'm 200% they are rooster haha.
The other Chanteclerc I have is acting like a rooster and is HUGE.
I'll show you tomorrow the Wyandotte golden laced (pretty sure about the rooster) and my brahma Isabelle cuckoo (I...
Hi!
I had a very bad luck with my hatch this year (my incubator broke, I got scams and then finally I wad able to find some eggs to put in my new incubator, yeah!).
Long story short, out of my 9 chicks, I got... 9 roos! Or so I thought.
I may have 1 pullet, that I thought was a rooster until...
Hello everyone!
I have hatched a couple of OE this week (Olive egger backcrossed F2 or F3 x Crested Legbar) It's a legbar and ameraucana mix.
I'm really wondering the colour of the little pale one. Lavender ?
I find him really cute :)
Thanks
Miconazole at first, full treatment. The suppositories are made from solidified oil in Canada. It's a bit like soap. I need to break it down to administer it. Kind of hard to administer, but I did it for the full 7 days, without improvement except for 1 morning (2 days after the start) when the...
For the poop, small dropping, there urate and solide. They are shaped (no diarhea). But I find them small and there's not a lot. I'll try to coax her tomorrow to drink more and make a mushy feed again. She seems to like it, after all.
Ahhh!
I could find the amount to give. I saw a post to mix the molasse and give as the only water for a day.
I'll try that again. Or maybe the epsom salt. Same amount, 1x ?
I didn't make her vomit anymore, since the last time we talked about it. It's just an observation I did, when I did, that...
Not really.
Yesterday morning her crop was empty. I was so happy!
I gave her the molasse flush all day yesterday, removed it after 8h and made sure she had good clear water after and all day today.
The crop is back into a big squisky ball.
I'm kind of wondering if it's not a an impaction...
There's still no improvement for that poor girl.
The crop bra didn't help. This morning it was as big as a baseball ball ⚾. She's vomitting every time she tries to drink or eat.
I contacted the breeder. She never had that kind of problem. The hen's sister is fine.
I also called my vet. He...
I checked her often today. She drank and ate plenty. We'll see tomorrow morning :) I removed the food for the night so I can check her crop before she eat.
I'm suspicious that she had difficulty to drink and keep the water before I emptied her crop today.
I really hope that tomorrow will be better. Will get her more coconut oil. She's willing to eat it on her own.
I'll also provide wet food, but she's a picky eater. Sometimes she just wants her...
Update: She's still very much alive. Her feathers are growing and she walks like a normal chicken again.
She was really just weak because of her molt.
Thanks again everyone!
Picture of poop, as promise!
The one below war earlier, just after treating her.
The one above is later today, after she ate, drink and was resting on her perch.
I felt her crop 15min ago. It's almost dark outside. It feels firmer, with food in it. Not as firm as you would have with a healthy...
I did.
Not the first time this week also, been careful doing so, 2-3 secondes at the time, giving her breaks in between. I was very hesitant to do it, but honestly, with the size of that crop, I didn't have much options. She was overflowing everytime she was trying to eat, drink, peck at the...
