    My chicken has a pale face?

    My hen also has a pale face and comb. I wormed her on March 25, 2011 with Wazine and have been throwing the eggs away. She is having issues standing, she acts like she is drunk and sometimes she can not walk at all. She eats and drinks real well, even takes the pedialyte like a pro from the...

    8 month old chicken walking like she is drunk...

    No I have not wormed the babies yet as they did not get outside much last summer - they were born at the end of July. They do not go outside for the winter they have been in the coop together. They get egg maker mash and scratch, once they got some orange slices but they don't get the treats...

    8 month old chicken walking like she is drunk...

    So I noticed one of my babies was walking funny kind of leaning to one side.(that was yesterday) Today she is still walking like that but she now falls over, she gets back up and seems to be eating and drinking just fine. I cannot see anything else wrong with her the others are not picking on...

    The Saga continues...

    so its a sad day today my first and only baby chick to hatch out of a batch of six, died today. We do not know why she was running around in the pen and acting normal all day. The last time we saw her alive was about 5:30pm when the DH went out for a smoke. At 7pm when the DD and I went out to...

    So... I tried again

    So my last hatch was not very successful, well I got 1 out of 6. And I got a lot of grief from people on here about leaving the eggs too long in the incubator and telling me there was nothing inside of them, my DD and I broke them open and there were chicks we assume they suffocated. So we...

    My hen is limping

    I posted this yesterday but did not get any responses. I have a 3 yr old Americauna hen and since the day we got her she would limp every "once in a blue moon" but this time it seems worse because now she wants to hold the leg under her and try to hop on the other leg. I have never seen it...

    I have a 3yr old Americauna hen that starts to limp every "Once in a Blue Moon" however this time seems to be a little worse because she is actually holding the leg up and hopping around on one leg. I managed to get a hold of her this morning and looked at her entire leg, there is no swelling...

    My 3 year old roo just died

    Thanks so much for your support, its nice to know that there are people out there who care about their chickens as much as I do. They are all like family in a way. Some you just seem to get attacked to more that others and this roo was mine, he was very attached to me probably because when he...

    My 3 year old roo just died

    My 3 year old roo just died this morning and the only thing that we noticed was that his comb was really purple looking. He had a lot of health issues when he was younger but we seemed to have gotten past all that. He seemed very healthy and happy I just spent the day with him yesterday and he...

    A quandary involving a lost pigeon and its missing owner

    I would check the local laws on finding an animal - I know here we have to report it to authorities and after 30 days it is yours to do with what you want. But in your case it kind of sounds like they don't want the bird back if it is so special you would think they would have called right away.

    What I call "monkey butt"

    I have to keep watching this one. I have several in my flock that look like that too and I wormed them and gave them a bath in dish soap and dusted them. I never saw a thing either but did all these things as a precaution. I put blue kote on it that seems to help especially now that they are...

    Can someone help me figure this out??? ***UPDATED***

    3 out of 5 eggs sound like porcelain. The one that is making noises taps back when I tap the shell;and it sounds like there's a chick inside moving around. I don't think its gas and I've never had an egg explode in the incubator.

    Quote: Your temps are way too low. I don't know what kind of incubator you're using, but if it has a fan, your temps should be 99/100 and if it's a still air 101/102. You're days are not adding up.....in your first post you say the first chick hatched almost 2 weeks past the hatch...
