I've been putting sulfadimethoxine in their water for the past couple days and putting some in her water that I hand feed her. The lady at my feed store said its a little easier on their system than corvid. She had a rather large but normal poop on the blanket I had her sitting on. But she is...
I have an Olive Egger chick that doesn't look like her nostrils are open as much as the others. She's much smaller than the rest. She's about a month old and has been doing very well, despite her petite size. She's not eating unless I hand feed her. I try to offer her food, just a few bites...
I don't know. I wasn't home but my husband was curious about why her stomach (abdomen?) was so tight. He said when he opened her up liquid just kept coming out.

I'm going to try hatching my own eggs this year and I'm just making a cheap one from a Styrofoam cooler or maybe an old tub with a lid. If I decide to go with the tub, is foam core good enough insulation? I can get sheets of it at the dollar store and I'd rather spend the money on getting good...
I know I'm probably nuts, but I've even bought curtains for the windows (I bought a 23' camper trailer) and pictures for the walls. I did have enough common sense to get them from thrift stores.
I wish I would've known about building the roosts towards the back, though. I'm storing feed and...
Thank you. My husband is home for a while so he can help and he's not as squeamish about these things. I don't have problem with killing if it's a mean rooster or even meat birds. Though, I usually let one or two live out their lives free waddling with the rest of the chickens. There's always...
Well, we euthanized her. My husband did it while I was in town, but I'm really glad I did. My husband said she had a lot of urine in her bladder. It wasn't really obvious from the outside, though after thinking about it, I now realize it was noticeable. I was so involved with her injuries I...
...I don't want him to be lonely. Is an axe the most humane way to kill them? Almost all the videos on youTube use that method and there's days when I ****** off enough that I've been tempted but if a creature is going to put food on the table, the least I can do is give them the least traumatic...
You can still see a bit of the top beak but I was looking at her more closely this morning and she's breathing really hard so there may be things going on internally. I really don't want her to suffer so I think I'll put her down today. But thank you for your help. Chickens are such special...
I found her yesterday morning wedged between a metal trash can I use for feed and the wall of the coop, like she was trying to scrunch herself back as far as she could. Poor girl, she was one that didn't even have a name, though now she's Harriet (after Harriet Tubman who had a lot to overcome...
I'm new to Seramas and have 2 males and 2 females. They're just the cutest things! One of the males is almost full grown. The other three are halfway there I'd guess. I've kept them in my laundry room but I think they're old enough to go outside. I have plenty of full size and a few bantys...
I just found this forum tonight. I'm a nightowl. I live in Drain and have a cornucopia of poultry: chickens, Muscovies, Toulouse Geese, guineas. I also have three cats. 2 bunnies, 4 goats and 3.5 dogs: 2 cattle dogs (one is a rescue and is blind as a bat), a Australian Shepherd/ACD mix and a...
