I will look today if she lay an egg. When I cooked the latest eggs from all of them it was definitely hard to crack them, so calcium is not an issue. None of them were panting yesterday but did have some wind from the lake that keeps their coop cool. They all stay in the coop during the day...
I was gone for three days. Left two 50-gallon waters. There was still a lot of water left. Put fresh water in both waters. Spots came out as well the other two chickens to greet me, but Spots looks a little pale. She did lay two eggs within three days. I gathered eggs Friday and came back...
Just an update Spots is doing well. Did notice of a change. She doesn't roost anymore but lay in the area where the chicken's lay eggs. I first thought she went broody on me. This is not the case. She is still laying an egg each day along with my other two chickens. Her egg is slightly white...
A few years ago on my property, by the road. A person dumped a large floppy ear rabbit with babies. The babies got hit by cars, but noticed mom was surviving in the trees. I tried to catch it but couldn't. I was going to set a trap but changed my mind thinking something happened to it...
I agree she needs more nutrients. Spots does feel thin at this point. As each day I check each chicken. She is a small chicken due to her breed. But when I feel her, I am concern on her weight, feeling low.
I will bring the scale out. I am not good with ml. So will give the weights and let me know how much to use. If you don't mind. I would like to treat for all worms. Never done this before. Since they are healthy, I want to do this now, before I have an issue. Especially the one with all the...
Today, checked on Spots all is good. Everyone is getting along. I felt the other chicken's crop and all good. I think, when I got out there yesterday, their water was dumped. I refilled and didn't really pay attention if she was drinking a lot. I am assuming that is why she puked water when...
Well today I decided to have Spots rejoin the other two chickens. I waited and watched for over hour. Spots did her dust bath again which she loves. The other two chickens didn't care. Was concern about one of my other chickens that was puking up water. Freaked me out. I am like another...
Gosh I am going thru this as well. My chicken had her whole head scalped plus going down one side, as well from a coon. Lots of care, had to syringe feed. If you can get farm animal antibiotics as well electrolytes in her would be good. Agree with the ointment treatment non aspirin. Here is...
OMG, she laid an egg today. I thought with her age and the trauma she went thru she would have been done. She has for years goes broody on me several times each year, so I guess that extended her egg laying:) I will throw the egg out since she has been on antibiotics for a while.
I agree with a preious poster, you need to remove the chickens meanwhile. I just had the same thing happen to me. I put my remaining chickens in a dog crate in my garage. I worked on my pen for two weekends in a row. I used hard wire, 1/4 inch openings, comes in rolls. My coon got in thru...
I tried to post a video of the coon but some issue on this sight will not accept a video post. I am guessing do to being a video I know still shots will work and will look for them, showing the coon, and cougar. My feral cat as well which is doing well and still around.
I have to add to my story. I feel totally bad about it. I have a feral cat that lives back there and takes care of my mice. I adopted as a barn cat. Is wild and given a second chance to live wild after being fixed. Last summer I fed her in an area where we have a storage area next to the...
Yes, she is a fighter and very loving to me. She is always talking to me in her chicken language, I am guessing get me out of here back into the coop. I do think she understands somewhat why I keep her in the dog cage. I tried to put her back but didn't feel good about the situation. I feel...
Spots is looking good again. No funny smell. Most the clotted blood fell off the back of her head. She just has a little remaining on top of her head. I think the cat scratcher, with condensed cardboard helps her, clean her head as well her beak. I wasn't able to bring her to the other...
I plan on bringing to her friends every day when doing the routine and treat feed. I just cannot leave her, so she avoids dust baths. Sucks as I just have to go with my gut feeling giving her another week to monitor. I will look into the chlorhexidine, since it is Easter, I won't be able to buy...
