This little one wandered into my yard in town nearly hit by a car so I scooped her up and brought her to the farm. She has feathered feet and legs and either no tail or not much of a tail. She’s shy but warming up to the others little by little. Is she young? What breed might she be?
A friend of mine called this evening. One of her young pullets has a hard protrusion below her vent. I’ll post some pictures. I thought she might be impacted but it’s so hard. I lubricated her vent with olive oil anyway. Could it be a tumor? She’s only 6 weeks old or so.
I lost my rooster last winter. I have been looking for a cockerel for months and finally found an ad. Drove a couple of hours round trip to get this little one. Do I have a boy or a girl?
Hi everyone! Happy New Year. I bought the Nutridrench last night on the way home for Henny. Do you have to dilute it or can I just give her a small dose with a syringe in the mouth?
She is very persistent but I will try. Thank you for the info too. Would I be able to get the tylosin from my vet? I know you said only online, but I thought maybe it was just not "over the counter".
I have a hen who is at least five years old. She has been broody for months. I just let her have it and do not try to discourage her. This past weekend I went to the coop and noticed that her comb is pale and I can see that she has a clear discharge on her beak from her nostrils. She also...
I bought a camera on Amazon and never set it up. The privacy issues just freaked me out too much. I wanted to be able to monitor it remotely. If I do eventually set a camera up I think I might opt for a trail cam that is motion sensored.
Hi, I ended up making the decision to take her back to the vet to have the fluid drained. She has a fine appetite but was dragging this water balloon around just totally burdened with it. They did the procedure and got 260 ml of clear fluid. It was not infection but most likely heart or...
I believe it was the permethrine (sp?) I purchased it at Tractor Supply and it was for treatment of lice. I did not retreat. I am in the process of moving and so I will be sure to treat the birds before we move and then will treat the new coop. How often should I plan on treating the birds...
Do you think I should attempt to do it myself? I'm not sure I could find a syringe.
I've seen lice on them before. A chick born in the coop had some when I was holding him. I removed all the bedding from the floor of the whole coop then sprayed the floor and all the surfaces plus added...
