    HELP! Impacted Crop

    That's a great sign it felt smaller! Yes, keep doing what you're doing until it's gone. It can take awhile- so be patient. What do her droppings look like? Can you post a photo? Is she molting by chance? I ask because I had a hen that would get crop issues every time she molted. The food...

    HELP! Impacted Crop

    You can try feeding her a half- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil then massaging her crop. I would do this 3x a day for several minutes. Massage gently in an upward motion with the pads of your finger tips to try and break up the mass. It especially helpful to do this in the morning before she eats...

    Automatic door

    I’ve had the omelet door for 6 years and haven’t had any issues. I love that I can open and close it from my phone too! But you can set it to open/close with the sunrise and sunset or a preferred time.

    Has anyone ever witnessed paranormal activity regarding passed chickens or had an old chicken come back through reincarnation.

    I went for a reiki session with a master reiki healer I’d never met. I didnt give her any info other than “I had just lost a pet” she didn’t even have my last name or any identifying information. Throughout the session she journaled and shared with me after the things she felt and came...

    Mange

    Thank you! That’s a relief! No other livestock but we do have an apiary. It must have died today because it hadn’t stiffened up yet when we found it, so hopefully rodents didn’t have the chance to get to it yet. I did use a propane flame weeder around the area, the perimeter of the coop as...

    Mange

    Yesterday 2 of my chickens freaked out and wouldn’t go in the coop at bed time. I thought it strange but put them to bed and moved on. Tonight the 2 did the same thing and luckily my husband decided to investigate and found a dead fox under the bridge from the coop to the run and it has mange! I...

    Vent gleet?

    Hi all, Does this look like vent gleet? She’s eating/drinking/laying normal. I haven’t fed anything high in moisture in a week. I have them watermelon last week because of the heat. I already washed her bum once but it’s soiled again. At one point I thought I saw liquid drip out of her vent-...

    Needle advise- Water belly

    I used 18g 1/2 inch. And no it doesn’t need pinched. Make sure to insert the needle on her right side. Go down from the vent and over a little. It should draw easily (if it doesn’t and resists, I would advise to wait to try again with a new needle in a few days. You want to avoid reinserting the...

    Needle advise- Water belly

    Aw I’m sorry to hear your duck has it as well. She ended up getting worse- wouldn’t leave the roost bar, wasn’t eating and drinking minimally. She started standing in the corner all day. I started her on antibiotics I had from previous visits as a Hail Mary but I knew she was on her way out...
