The carcass has been disposed of and will be used to attract coyotes tonight.
We are running with the FLHD and treats are done with and hope for the best. We are just poor farm people and it's not apriority to drop $$ into Hen Health care other than the basics. That being said we certainly...
tis one as was stated earlier couldn't walk and hardly stand the other's where just found in the morning dead. This is the only one that we had any warning.
The FLHS certainly seems the most plausible and I Googled the symptoms and the wife said the livers where surrounded in fat..probably...
Update. Wife just cut her open up . Her Livers had what looked like cuts and they where "leaking" reddish "stuff" also had black splotches. She was full of Yellow fluid and her Kidney just "Fell out was not attached.
Poor thing must of been in terrible pain
We live in NorthCental Mo and altho...
no they dont free Range we have too many Hawks learned that lesson the hard way, My Avatar is that of our Rooster that got killed by a Hawk so no to the Compost area. Yes we concerned about our last 3 Buffs. Wife pointed out that the 3 died where always the "Bully" and ate the most. . Yes we...
we have her in the house in abox. We will give the sugar water a shot. wife also read to make the food into a mash which she did and it was gobbled up. Wife and I are doing our own research. Wife has a tendency to give too many treats such as Sunflower seeds and wondered to herself if she just...
so we have this 1 yo Buff Hen who is sick. No real bad discharge just extremely weak and can not stand. ALREADY CHECKED FOR LEG MITES. The thing is we just had another die ( no symptoms just found her dead the next morning) but the common dominator is they both had been given some egg shells...
and many options on Amazon as well. That is what we did. I got one that was a bit lite and snagged easily but lesson learned in that regard. Netting is a safe and affordable option.
I couldn't disagree with this more, after the Hawk killed our Rooster and as you can see in my avatar he was no small rooster he went under the coop where they were hiding and was trying to kill a Hen luckily I got there in time.. In our Country experience either you cover your run or expect...
Hi all it's been awhile. So we have 6 Hens after having a few rounds of Hy Line Browns. They are just now starting to lay and are about 2 weeks into it. My question goes into the size of these eggs. They are not very big and not really getting any bigger. It's been a bit as our last couple of...
we had a hen get attacked by a hawk..she was very docile and the bath was no big deal altho we just cleaned around the wound, we didn't soak her. We used Dawn dish soap but like was mentioned dabbed the wound with peroxide then applied Neosporin. We also kept her away from the other hens for a...
no egg laying issues that we can tell they all lay in the same place so other than the 1 Barred that we have it'd hard to tell who laid what.. the others are all Hy-Line Browns. Fantastic breed OBTW
had our most favored hen die last night. Loved to be carried and our youngest granddaughter's favorite ..anyway she's had what we call a "poopy butt" for maybe a month or more. Definition of poopy butt is just runny enough poop to catch on the tail feathers..worms maybe? but wife had looked...
