I agree. She can fly a little bit, but she is really struggling for a meal. She's not wounded from what I can see. Any suggestions as to what I could feed her?
I just got home and went out to the run to check on the girls when I see a little baby bird chirping away at my chickens. She was running over there and opening her mouth when she was near a chicken. I almost have no doubt that her mother was killed. She is not weak, and she flutters around a...
I am very sorry to hear about your baby. I have no help to offer, but I would recommend personal messaging eggsessive. He is brilliant with this type of stuff, maybe messaging him will get you a quicker reply. Best of luck
She's doing better. The anti biotic definitely helped her eye, and I took the off a couple days ago. Now, her eye is beginning to close back up, so I'm getting another pack of it tomorrow. We just moved houses, so once I saw that she was doing better I put her back in with her fam. All seven of...
I put the antibiotic in her water around 11 o'clock this morning. Her eye seemed to have opened more, but the cage smells terrible, and I don't see much poop anywhere. Also, her eyelid has a bit of crusted blood on it, but again I don't see any scars from scratching and what not. She is...
If she's a carrier, it means she could break back out again, right? What does this mean for the rest of my flock? I don't know where she could've gotten this, I've never had problems like this before. I was told not to eat her eggs for a month, is that true? They are free range chickens, but...
Sorry, I may not have been clear.. I have seven chickens total. I bought my five chicks from her, who are now beginning to lay. I got my sick girl and her friend from another guy. The guy had about a hundred chickens. Thirty white, thirty rhode islands, and forty australorps. I chose the two...
I have already posted earlier about this, so if you know this from earlier, sorry for the repetition.
I have a white rock that I bought from a man about a month ago. I got home yesterday and picked her up (she's my cuddly girl) and noticed her right eye was almost all of the way shut and had...
this is what my boss told me today (she is the lady I got my chickens from). I was told to separate her from the rest and give her these certain electrolytes, which are unavailable to me immediately. What else could I possibly do for her? Her eye has opened more today, but there is a bit of...
Thank you guys so much, this being the first time having chickens, my mind jumps to conclusions. Gotta be a careful momma ;) My mother is going to play chicken doctor tonight and help me flush it. I appreciate the help!
Actually, I've noticed recently that she has dirt on her feathers. I thought it was from bathing, but maybe not. They've been like that for days. It's not swollen, but maybe that stage has already passed. I will try neosporin t
I just got home about fifteen minutes ago and went to check on the ladies. I have my one cuddly girl, Camilla, whom I picked up and noticed that her right eye is shut. I don't know how long it's been like this, but she isn't missing any feathers, no scratches, nothing. It doesn't seem to be...
