I think my biggest fear is it being something treatable. Like my husband and i just got home and she was trying to grip his fingers with her toes... i will probably take her to our local animal hospital, they'll take care of all of it for me. They don't charge anything for it either. Ill get...
My husband and i looked at mareks to see if maybe it was the first night when we noticed she was sick and it wasn't that. If she isn't better by tomorrow when i get home from church ill ask my husband to put her down. I do not have the heart to do that. I've made her as comfortable as possible...
Both her legs are paralyzed it seems, she keeps panting, she does a low growl every once in awhile and she isnt moving for anything and if i pick her up, both legs just dangle and her wings drop. She keeps trying to bend her neck backwards. I think maybe when the Roo was trying to learn to ride...
I honestly have no idea what it is. She is making me cry because when she tries to walk, she face plants. She is really hungry and thirsty. Im not sure what vitamins i have.. i got them from the local feed store.
She is 3 months old. Im feeding her the purina chicken feed. In the light blue bag. Same as my other chickens. I have been wondering if i should feed her the chick feed with the antibiotics or whatever. I checked on her this morning and she was up and moving around, she uses her wings for...
My silkie/polish chicken has been having a hard time standing. She has been eating and drinking just fine. She can manage to get around but for some reason her legs go into a split and she holds her neck funny. I am not sure what is going on. I have put vitamins in her water and this is the...
Good morning! I have a few questions... My silkie hen has been acting like she is sitting, but no eggs. I take them away from her and she still sits in her nest. I pick her up and she runs around outside the coop for a bit and then she goes right back. She is eating and drinking. Just not being...
One of the roos in pen has seizures. I am not even sure if that one is a rooster or a hen. It does not crow. It sits, but it has not laid eggs. It does not bother anyone and no one bothers it. In fact, they all help that one when it has an episode. The one I know is a hen, she doesn't get messed...
Hello,
I have silkie chickens. A pen of 5 silkies. When I hatched them, we thought they were all hens. However they started crowing. None were laying. Now we have some laying, sitting, but they're still crowing. I know for sure I have one hen.
Today I had an incident I dont know who started...
My birds are between the ages of 6 months to 2 years. So some are new to laying and others have been laying for a while now. However I just rescued a bunch of them from someone and my original ones I've only had for 6 months.
Yes & no they shells are thick. They have their own bowl of oyster shells to eat from whenever they please, I was told that was the best thing to do with that
That's weird we gather eggs daily and check 4 times a day because we dont want them to get smashed. But thank you! I will toss it!! I'm careful about our eggs. My friends mama had a chicken who got a taste of egg and would eat them after that, so I'm careful about checking and often.
Hi everyone! I have been getting a lot of eggs lately. More than normal. I have 6 hens total and on a normal day I can get 7 eggs. Not sure if that is normal..but that isn't my reason for posting. My eggs have been odd looking & I just want everyone opinions. I do give my girls oyster shells and...
I watched her and contacted the old breeder, he said she had been that way from birth, so I put her outside in a separate coop she seemed to be a lot happier, so I put her in with two of my other chickens who were rescued and they're all doing very well together. Which is why I have not posted...
For some reason my videos will not upload, no matter how I try. YouTube or anything they wont work. She only "gasp" after she lays an egg. It's like shes yawning.
I'll post photos of her eyes from today below.
I cannot take her back to him. He refuses. He said she is not longer is top 5 show...
