I have kept my flock of 4 for 3 years. This was one time accident that due to my negligence. It was during a time window between 8:30pm to 9pm when I was tied up in house doing something and thought it would be okay to lock the coop door a little after I finish it, which in the past never been...
24 hours passed. I cleaned her wound with benzethonium chlorine and applies multi-antibiotoc. Tube feed her a little vitamin b complex desolved into water. Also feed her some chicken food and water mix. She can now occasionally open her eyes and she actually really struggled hard to stand up and...
My hen was attacked by some animal last night. Her vent was injured and surrounding feathers were gone. How should I treat her? Can she survive?
Please help if you had similar situation. Thank you so much!!!
Have you find a solution? I recently start losing eggs, with shells left in the coop. I suspect I got either either rat or snake problem. My 4 hens are refusing to lay in the coop any more, they search surrounding areas (I free range during day time) looking for nest places, appearing very...
I have a hen one year and a half old. She was the very shy one among my small flock of 4 hens before a terrible incident this early summer. On that particular day, my ladies, like what they had been doing everyday, across the small rural path in front of my house, and were having fun searching...
Are your girls getting better now? I only noticed your post today. I have 4 hens, one of them had round worm, diarrhea a while ago. I used safe-guard canning dewaormer, a small dosage proportional to its size, put in its drinking water. That cured her in about a week.
Enjoy reading your post! Since I started raising chickens during the pandemic, I also had a lot of chicken dramas. A proud alpha rooster, a submissive hen raised to the top hen.. I am sorry to hear your old roo was dead ( he wasn't old at all). I think the young son's aggression would abate as...
My hen is just over a year. She recently has watering poops, low appetite, pale face, listless, and she is losing feathers. She also stopped laying. She is one of my flock of 4 hens. About 2 weeks ago, I found a lot of round worms in two pools of droppings on the ground. But I didn't link them...
My hen is 1 year and a half old, and laying. Recently she starts crowing in the morning. Our flock used to have a rooster but he died a few months ago due to illness. Now I have 4 hens in total, including this particular one. I am wondering if anything wrong w her? She does become very...
