    Hi everyone! Thought I'd share a few photos of what I woke up to today. We have used Alaskan bear boards around the coop compound, and tarps to prevent prying eyes. Last night it didn't work. Lost two of my four birds, one of the old but beautiful and still laying reliably "flood"...

    Tiny "hen" probably a very bullied-to-illness & kept-from-eating rooster. Help!!!

    The sick Feb-borne chicken from a neighbor has rallied and now is out and about here with me. Ruled out egg bound early on. I'm pretty sure he's a rooster. There's been NO nesting behavior and I've offered a place up until a few days ago. Then I tried integrating him into my flock again by...

    Not Sure if You've Got a Pullet or a Cockerel? Click here! thread 3

    Hi everyone! I was watching my neighbor's 12-bird coop and this tiny 2-lb bird took sick; they're not too interested in vet bills for chickens, so I brought her to my house, put her in the bathroom hospital room, started her on an antibiotic, system detox tincture, avo probiotics, yogurt...

    Dubbing questions.

    As a Vet Tech, I was interested in this when my hen got frostbitten and did some research on it (afer I researched it, we decided to treat for pain and prevent infection, frostbitten area dried into a scab and fell off 21 days later). I found an interesting entry in Wiki re dubbing: In...

    Confusing symptoms

    Hi there...well, she's DOING well. As is the other one who came down ill. However, the big swelling in the first bird's abdomen has not resolved completely yet. It's still about the size of an egg, maybe. The 2nd hen stopped eating well about 3 weeks into the amoxi treatment (also having 5...

    I'm so glad to see you posted about this clinic...I wound up going to Loveland to see Aspenwing and was quite happy. I almost called Broomfield. Good to know!

    Confusing symptoms

    Oh! and the white thing in the picture on top of the yolk, the Dr felt was a plug of albumin. She cut it open and it was white through and through. Have you seen pictures of Lash eggs? I got worried about that (of course), but she assured me it wasn't. It's nice there's a veterinarian in...

    Confusing symptoms

    Update on my wonky hen(s): Avian vet appt was pretty inconclusive. Dr. recommended antibiotics for two weeks (amoxi 500mg twice a day); the hen still had an abdominal swelling, but smaller than the first days. Xrays she felt pointed toward a pretty angry gut with gas. No EYP. No hernia. I...

    i'm super worried about eyp. i posted on the diseases thread with photos. i don't know if popping out an intact egg yolk rules out eyp, since she did that yesterday--the first in 7 days (and she lays pretty regularly, but usually with no shell, just a membrane; sometimes a very thin...

    Intermittent Diarrhea in One Chicken of Three

    I'm so sorry, I missed this reply from you! I've never wormed them since I got them in Sept '13. Should I just routinely worm them? I'm visiting an avian vet Wed with my on and off sick hen, I'll tell her I need to worm them and get it done! Thank you!

    That is so cool!!!!! I'll bet the reapplication is to get all the life cycles...I think ... well, let me go research it...here you go: Eggs are laid in crevices in the housing. Eggs are pearly white and oval, approx 0.4mm x 0.25mm. After 2-3 days, in warm conditions (longer in cooler weather)...

    Confusing symptoms

    Hi all. While I'm awaiting my appt with the avian vet on Wednesday, thought I'd show you what's been happening to my 3 year old hen, a GL Wyandotte, housed with 3 other birds, free ranging in 1/2-acre enclosure. On the holiday, she was puny. I thought egg-bound? Soaked her in warm water...

    Please tell me this is a hen

    The one on the right started laying a few days ago and her first egg was a double yolk. Little, but a double. They were very cute!

    Please tell me this is a hen

    Hi, and thank you! Attitude is flighty right now; no confrontational at all. They were raised from chicks by my neighbor who is hands' off with her birds. But she just started taking stuff from my hands a few days ago. The other one is actually doing the squat when I walk up to her now...so...
