    Buff Orpington cockerels or pullets?

    Thank you all so much. I’m so relieved. I have heard the buff Roos are the best but I just can’t help but categorize all Roos as evil. Just from experience. My step mom had a lavender Orpington roo that is massive and such a sweetheart but still so scared to go in their coop lol. So silly of...

    Buff Orpington cockerels or pullets?

    Oh, stop it right now! That is such great news. I have really been dreading having a split flock of boys and girls. I’m personally not a rooster fan and our daughter is terrified of them after getting attacked by past roosters. I’m so excited! Lol thank you thank you

    Buff Orpington cockerels or pullets?

    it’s been a while! Haven’t had chicks in quite some time and also have never had buff Orpington before. We have 3 unsexed birds that I’d love to have opinions on. They are all 12 weeks old. Thanks!

    Egg bound or egg yolk peritonitis

    I felt it was really important for her to consume all of what I was giving her as she was in a pretty bad situation. I didnt want to guess so I crushed up all of the pills I was giving her together and put a little water in it to make it a paste. I then syringe fed it to her. It got some fluids...

    Chicks dying

    What kind of lamp/bulb are you using? Some bulbs are very toxic to chicks. I will attach an article for you to read. I'm sorry you're losing so many chicks. I personally feel your bulb sounds like a strong possibility...

    Predator leaving only a few feathers.

    This has been our exact experience. We have lost half a dozen birds in the last few months... all but one have been taken with just missing feathers to show. Others vanished without a trace. I say hawk or fox as they have been our predators. Only once did the hawk leave a carcass for a few...

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    I just went out with her hardboiled egg, mash, vitamin and water mix and she was up eating!! She seemed a little tender still but nothing like she has been!!! Should I continue with the vitamins and antibiotics??

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    I certainly have no issues ordering whatever she needs. I just recently bought tylan50 and have canker meds on their way from revival animal now. I will go back on and order them now. I happen to have human antibiotics from two surgeries I just had in November and December. Amoxicillin is...

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    So, these are my findings from her this am. Bright green stools again and she laid either a soft shelled egg and ate the shell or just straight egg matter. She is still not doing any better. What do I do to help her?? What the heck is going on??

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    Alright, so here's the latest.. I just went out with some hard boiled egg (she scarfed it down) and she had her nutridrench. I did not feel an egg and her belly felt a bit squishy. It by no means screamed water belly or anything to me but I'm just unsure if that could indicate something...

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    Okay, I'm going to go for it and do another soft internal. I've got plenty of nutridrench so I'll certainly add that to my mix of vitamins. Thank you so much.

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    Exactly! That's why I've tried letting her be as much as possible. I didnt want anyone touching me or talking to me ... never mind sticking fingers where my 9lb babies were coming out of... I just wish I could help her more!

    Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

    Are there any vitamins outside of the calcium, magnesium and D that I should be providing her? I have yogurt and plenty of eggs to boil up for and have no issue getting some tuna. My step mother was told by her vet that some wet cat food is enticing and has great protein so I'll grab some of...
