I am going to try giving them a hard boiled egg in their food. I have several different flocks so I have all flock pellets. I have to soak them so they can eat them. They seem to eat all of their feed better when I soak
Possible sour crop? I just went through this with one of my roosters. Can you try massagine the crop and see if that helps? You can also add a little bit of olive oil or canola oil per my vet to help loosen things up.
I hatched out my button quail 16 weeks ago and they have still not laid any eggs yet. I only have a couple males and the rest are females. I keep them on the highest all flock protein feed I can find at the store. Nights have gotten cooler and I have had to put a lamp on them as well during the...
Hes definitely impacted, very badly. I haveng treated him yet, I am waiting for the vet to determine what to give. I usually know what to give them but I've never dealt with impacted crop. I've pushed electrolytes and tried a little grit to try and help break it up. So far so no change. He wants...
This is the way he looks right now. Standing but won't move. I offered a little scrambled eggs and he would go to peck them but would completely miss?? When he goes to drink he dips his beak up to his nostrils which he's never done before. I gave a shallow free choice of water dish.
Thank yall so much! Hes worse today. His crop was bigger than a soft ball. I got it to go down a little bit. Offered some grit and electrolyte water while I massaged his crop. Could this be from my turkey? I've heard of black head in turkeys but didn't realize chickens can get it. Hes the only...
when I went to feed this morning I found my young pet rooster acting like he was going to throw up. His comb is turning a little purple and he doesnt look good. Any suggestions??
They hatched on April 21, 2020. I definitely hope its a cockerel! This one seems a little different in coloring from my other blrw that hatched in the same batch.
hey all! I'm usually pretty good at determining the sex of birds but I'm stumped as this breed is new to me. Im thinking I have three cocks and one pullet. The three have bright red combs and the suspected pullet has a light colored comb. Can someone confirm my suspisions??
Hello! I have 12+ Speckled Sussex hatching eggs. My flocks are Npip and AI clean. Eggs will be coming from SWVA and can be shipped first thing in the morning. I cannot guarentee any eggs will hatch after they leave my possession. Sometimes during shipment the boxes get tossed around and can...
Possible speckled Sussex pullet. I could be wrong so dont hold me to it 🙂 I breed speckles. This one is possibly a low quality or partially mixed. Either way, very beautiful!
