    Just a horny rooster?

    His original name was sweets! He has been a great roo for the hens. I really think it's just when he gets overly excited which turns into aggression somehow. Time will tell!

    Just a horny rooster?

    Ha ha! We are quite attached unfortunately, plus since he is over a year don't they say not to eat them anymore because they taste bad?

    Just a horny rooster?

    Ha! When he charges at me I do my best not to kick him, I throw the treats away from me. He's a big roo, and his spurs are about an inch long and very sharp. I think I'm going to remove or file them down!

    Just a horny rooster?

    We have a barred rock roo at just over 1 year old. He is not aggressive, except when we are carrying things or if I have a treat. He will run up to me like he is about to spur but if I turn to him he immediately stops. Sometimes he will jump like he is trying to spur. I think this has started to...

    SOS VENT PROLAPSE

    For our chicken with the leg problem no, there was no response to pain. We found her after we came home from being gone for two days. She somehow pinned her way between two pallets and had been there for at least a day and some change in freezing temps. Her comb was blue, she had shallow breath...

    SOS VENT PROLAPSE

    Hi there! I'd encourage you to work on empathy and broadening your philosophical research to encompass areas such as understanding all angles a person may be seeing and ultimately getting to a point to where you are not thinking of yourself as so much better than anyone else- you have no idea of...

    SOS VENT PROLAPSE

    I thought of doing a necrospy, but decided against it. I do believe there was an underlying issue, maybe some deformity inside after initial prolapse. She kepy pushing it out, it would stay in when placed. She was straining for some reason. She acted normal, my husband almost chose not to put...

    We put her down today. It just was not getting better. A terrible feeling. We've lost 4 within this year. Upset doesn't cover it.

    SOS VENT PROLAPSE

    I have been giving Tums for this reason! I just meant my comment as I don't think the prolapse was cause by a calcium deficiency because her eggs have been perfect. It will stay in when it's placed in, but she pushes it back out. That's the main problem.

    I'm not sure this is Calcium related. She had laid a good egg already today around 1pm. She was bathed and basically shot out the shell-less egg while soaking (around 7:30pm). So I think it just wasn't done developing and would have been laid normal tomorrow?

    SOS VENT PROLAPSE

    I think the weirdest part of the situation is that we can get it back in to stay for a bit, but she pushes it out. I have no clue why! During tonight's cleaning she pushed so hard an unshelled egg came out. Maybe that means she wont lay for a bit longer.

    SOS VENT PROLAPSE

    She bleeds some with every strain... should I be concerned? I'm thinking we will have to make the decision to cull tomorrow. I love this bird but it's hard watching her in pain when she strains and now that she is bleeding some I think it's something I may need to consider unless it is normal.

    ***GRAPHIC**** Here is the situation right now. Just laid an egg. I took her to soak not too long before this happened. I don't have a second pair of hands around at home right now so I couldn't debride much at all. Did get some poop off (before she laid) and vaselined everything. Thats...

    I'm sorry, not Vetrx... It's nutridrench. She just laid an egg and there's some blood on the shavings and on her butt feathers. Poor thing. When she doesn't strain she seems to be in no pain at all. Eager to escape and be outside.

    I'm no expert at chicken handling (obviously), but as with everything, different things work for different people. Just like with humans- some treatments that work amazing for others, don't work as well or at all for some. Medicine is a practice... even chicken medicine! :) As for my chicken...

    What do you think causes death with Prep H? Just curious. I do have coconut oil on hand.

    You responding is help enough, so thank you! I hope you laughed at me for the daylight savings time comment, that was funny to read over and made me question how much sleep I've gotten recently ;) Her being uncomfortable makes sense and just pushing it out because it feels abnormal. I was...

    Buying Preparation H now for her to try that. Will give Tums soon and some Vet Rx. What am I supposed to do to help her poop? And what is the clear fluid coming out? Just typical body fluids?

    Haha! I was thinking more of having more daylight but that was a silly thought I hadn't realized until now. I've been trying to help her and have a bunch of others stuff to do around the house before tomorrow. My brain isn't functioning as it should :)

    She normally lays around 9-10 am. So it has been a while since she laid. She isn't overweight. I'm wondering if daylight savings time could have caused this then?
