    This is my Rufus; almost 1 year old (in May) Buff Orpington Rooster, and my beautiful babies (black sex-linked.) They are the same age- chicks in May, now all grown up. I'm hoping to hatch-out some of their eggs in 3 weeks. Black sex-linked are a cross between a Barred Plymouth Rock and a...

    Hen with diarrhea, floppy comb, fluid in breast

    You were right. It was her heart / fluid build up. I read the thread and determined this. The next day, (Father's day) I asked my husband to go out with me and end her suffering. He offed her head, then I did a quick necropsy through my tears. The fluid poured out of her. She had felt like a...

    Hen with diarrhea, floppy comb, fluid in breast

    I don't care what the outcome was- I just want to know. I know human diseases. I was a shepherdess for years. I just want someone of these boards to help me. If no-one can help me- then I'm either done or I'll have to become more involved. What is wrong with this hen? Tell me?

    Hen with diarrhea, floppy comb, fluid in breast

    No- it's not in her crop- I massaged her neck and her crop is good- it's fluid in her breast but her hind-areas feel very hard (normal). When I pick her up, there's a cushion under her breast area, but under her stomach/legs it's very tight.The breast area- I could hold and find excess...

    Help! Hens being treated for intestinal parasites but still dying!!

    I don't know what Panacen is ...can't find anything on it... sounds a lot like Panacea. If it really is a parasite I'd be hitting it with everything they've got.

    Hen with diarrhea, floppy comb, fluid in breast

    She's a 3-4 year old Buff Orp we raised from 2 days old. We have 4 other BO's and 6 new 6-week old chicks from a hatchery. All the rest are fine. As you can see she's got a poopy butt (for at least one month now)- I just washed her two nights ago, and her comb is deep red, looks dehydrated and...

    how old do my chickens need to be to have layer pellets

    I've moved the chicks in with the older girls- now the babies are a month old- I can't keep the food separate- will the chicks be harmed in any way by eating the layer feed?

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Jumping in here, my broody was sitting on eggs that were all duds, at day 15, (old rooster) - I went to a hatchery and brought home 8 - 1day old chicks to fool her. She was not fooled- I'd put only 2 under her at night and she'd killed them both by morning. She immediately broke broody and...

    THE MOTHER'S DAY HATCH-A-LONG!!!! The last day to join in and set eggs with us is April 28th.

    She's buff orpington- very easy going, never pecks my hand when I check underneath her. So when we got home with the chicks I thought i'd bring one out to try with her- she went crazy! I really want HER to raise these...I guess I can risk one. Maybe tomorrow night slip in a few more? I...

    THE MOTHER'S DAY HATCH-A-LONG!!!! The last day to join in and set eggs with us is April 28th.

    They are SOOOOOOOOO cute. Unlike the Orpingtons, these I'll be able to tell apart easily. So- do I risk more than one baby by putting her in with the broody hen when I take away the dud eggs tonight? I cracked open 3 more tonight and they were all infertile. The reason I'm being so careful...
