Hi
My hen, has been getting a liquidy crop. Her crop has been emptying over night and the liquid bilds up in the day? Usually with sour crop it doesn't empty over night, but her is. Some poos are watery but mostly normal poos. I've got her inside as yesterday she seemed a bit quiet. I've also...
Hi there,
I'm looking at hatching some chicks soon and going to start with the brinsea hatching kit, it includes the brooder heat plate, what I would like to know is, how long can you use the heater for because it looks like the chicks will outgrow it pretty fast??? I'm only going to start with...
I'm going to try the tube feeding tomorrow if I can get hold of what I need. I have started her on tylan 50 today, don't know how much of it she needs to drink in a day for it to be affective, I was advised to put one scoop in 1/2 litre of water, but that's a lot of water, do you know how much...
Ok thanks. Would you say it is pointless me giving her as much water as I can and hoping one morning she will be fine? I just don't understand how her sister is right as rain and she's like this. She's still quite strong, just thin!?
Do you know why her face is white then red???
:-)
I know why her crop was impacted it was because there wAs a hay bale in the run, her and her sister both eat aload of it and they both had surgery, her sister is doing fabulous! I really am scared to do the tube feeding, I know you know your stuff and your probably right it's the only way to...
Hi again,
Just a quick update, one morning she came out of the Cage and started to eat, I was so happy thought she was back to her normal self, next day she went down hill, I was just trying to give her as much water as I could!
Tbh I had given up hope, as I got a 2 yet old daughter at the...
Her poo was very green with water, now that I have been feeding her it has gone white and watery. Her crop is flat because not much in there, she is only 7 months old....she is not molting.
I will start to weigh her, I don't know where to get the tube from? I am going to have a look today, I'm...
Hello, thanks for taking the time to read.....!
Here goes, got a sick chicken who had crop surgery 2 days ago, she had impacted crop!! She was not eating for a few days before I managed to take her to the vet, 3 days before I had taken another chook to the vets and it is recovering great...
Oh
Oh no that sounds horrible :-( poor chickens!!
Her scar is couple of inches and very neatly stitched, tey are dissolvable stitches, don't know how long they take to dissolve?
Vet told me to give her crumbles to slowly get her crop working again as she was so blocked up. I just don't...
Hi everyone, hope some people can help.
My lovely chicken had an impacted crop, so I took her to the vets on Thursday and she had crop surgery to remove all the contents, which was mainly hay and grass. She is doing brilliantly, eating and drinking and pooing great! She is very happy and...
Yeah it's an EE, a local farm has breed these chickens to produce blue eggs, look like they have got americauna in them. I paid a stupid price for them, I was told they are blue egg layers, I was disappointed when it was green. I have got an EE that lays bright blue lovely eggs, they are...
Hi all,
Just had my first egg from one of my chooks and I thought the egg was going to be blue but I think it's more green???
What colour would you say this is??
Thanks
