    Denagard question

    I have my sick hen on Denagard. How long do I need to give it to her? I think I remember reading 2 or 3 days? Is this correct? And how long after should I wait to eat her eggs? Thank you.

    Hens laying in poopy bed not in nest boxes

    No I dont have any others. We just got these hens a couple weeks ago. They are about 4 months old. New layers. I have eggs in their nest boxes and I know theyve been snooping around in there because the shavings are moved around.

    Hens laying in poopy bed not in nest boxes

    I have some new young hens that just started laying. They lay eggs in their poopy coop floor under where they sleep. I have put eggs in their nest boxes but they refuse to lay in there. What more can I do? I have never had this problem before.

    Dont know what to do!

    Thanks for the info guys. He is still the same. The problem I am seeing now is that he cannot preen so no oil is getting spread around. I am not letting him get wet but when he drinks he puts his head right on his back to rest his neck so his back is constantly wet. He is trying so hard but is...

    Dont know what to do!

    another thing is that the skin is off the entire back of his neck and I dont see how it is possible for it to ever grow back and i would think that is an area that needs to be protected so im not sure what anyone could do about that if anything.

    Dont know what to do!

    He seems to be improving. He has been eating and drinking. It takes him a little effort to get his neck up and down because it looks like some of the muscle was damaged. He is just a little off balance but is improving. He has only sat down once and i cant get him to sit down to sleep again. he...

    Dont know what to do!

    I'm gonna see if I can get him to a vet tomorrow. I really hope he is ok. I think its on that fine line of not knowing if i should put him down or if he will improve.

    Dont know what to do!

    Also if I do have to put him down what is the most humane way to do that? I am thinking about waiting until morning. Right now he is in our bathroom out of the cold.

    Dont know what to do!

    Hi guys, I have an injured gander. He was attacked by a dog this morning and the skin is off the back of his neck and his vertebrae is kind of exposed. There is tissue around it but you can see the shape of the bones. The front of his neck seems fine. Doesnt look like any veins got damaged. He...

    Chick hatched late and cant walk

    Thanks for the info. I will do this next time if I have a baby with curled up toes. This time he had curled toes but as soon as he started to stand on his own, his feet went flat. He is still doing much better and just starting to peck a little at his food.

    HELP PLEASE My Hen has an egg size rip/hole in her back

    I have successfully stitched up my hens before with a needle and thread. You dont take them out. They heal up really well like that. They dont really even feel it.

    Chick hatched late and cant walk

    UPDATE: the little guy is doing great! I had him separated because all the other chicks were picking on him. So as soon as he was able to stand a bit better, I put him back in with the others and wow it is interesting how just not being alone and being with the other chicks has encouraged him to...

    Chick hatched late and cant walk

    I have cut a bandaide for their legs in the past and that has worked. This one is not really that weak anymore and seems to be trying to stand so yeah I am going to wait and see what happens. Hopefully the little one will improve soon. I just really hate it when that happens. :(
