    Broody Hen raising 5 chicks!

    When our chicken, Thelma, went broody recently we decided to repopulate the hen house by having her raise day old chicks. We slipped 5 chicks under her late at night and it worked like a charm! We have a chicken cam in the coop and baby monitor so I was able to watch her the next morning...

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    Update: Victoria went to the vet yesterday. She is gaining weight, but then it goes down again. (between 4lb 6.5 oz and 4lb 12 oz) Her fecals tested negative, and blood work showed a slight inflamation, but nothing too bad. Her liver values were slightly raised probably due to her weight...

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    The turn around is hopeful. Her comb is still pale, but her wattles have good color and aren't shriveled and curled up so much. It's hard to see just how skinny she is, but even that is changing for the better. I was overjoyed to see that white solid pee in her poop. It's been runny ick for...

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    Here's an update: We are having a difficult time finding a vet who will run a fecal for a chicken without seeing her in person. At this time I hesitate to put her through that stress, but maybe I'm wrong? She's eating well - chick starter, bits of blueberries, yogurt, tomatoes (she picked her...

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    Thank you for your help. My vet would not do a fecal but referred me to 2 vets in the area who might. They are both closed today. Found an avian vet nearby, but she is also closed on Saturdays. Victoria spent the day inside in an ex pen resting. She has been eating yogurt, oatmeal...

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    She is so thin and weak at this point I hesitate to worm her. Will call our vet and see if she will run a fecal and go from there. Thank you!

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    Please, we really need some direction on this. We are first time chicken owners and these girls have been raised from babies. Am I asking the wrong questions? Do you need further information? Thank you.

    Second chicken now ill - medication questions please

    We had three chickens and lost one a week ago on a hot summer day. Out of the three, 2 of them lost weight, stopped laying, had runny stools. The stools look just like the photos for clostridium perfingens. They were wormed with wazine months ago when symptoms started; followed up a month...

    Used Blu-Kote; Now attacking each other more

    Thank you for your reply cowcreekgeek. There are just three hens and they all have it, For what it's worth, the black spots seem to be better (they weren't that bad to begin with) and all were treated with the blu-kote. It was put on the BO the most (think purple mohawk). I would post a...

    Used Blu-Kote; Now attacking each other more

    We noticed black spots on combs and waddles of our three hens and thought either fowl pox or picking on each other. We thought (thinking is always a bad idea) that by putting blu-kote on it would help with healing. After carefully dabbing on their sores we saw that our BO was being attacked by...

    Is this the same thing? Hope you can see the white bullseye in the eggs. We have 3 chickens, 2 have just started laying and the GLW is making noises to start laying soon.
