    What breed of chicken is this?

    I bought her from Wilco I was told that she was a Jersey Giant but I am having serious doubts about that. Any idea of what she could be?

    Seabright bantam attacked by hawk

    I know but her chest is very swollen and squishy on both sides not just the side with their crop and also on underside for belly a little bit as well. I've looked for punctures that cannot find anything, but her chest is like three or four times it's a normal size. She's still eating a little...

    Seabright bantam attacked by hawk

    So two days ago my little hen was attacked by hawk luckily I saw it and came running out and scared it off. Today I noticed that her whole chest and even some of her belly is swollen, squishy, and warm. Do you think that it would be caused from internal bleeding from the Hawks talon or maybe...

    Help with Chicken Lice, tried Elector PSP

    I Strongly suggest Neem Oil. In a large tub or 5 gallon bucket Mix 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of oil per gallon of warm water (and a drop of soap to help the water and oil mix more thoroughly). Then place you bird in the mixture. Submerge everything up to the neck and hold them there for a couple...

    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    I know how you feel. We've been battling red mites, NFMites, and scaly leg mites. The coop, nesting boxes, and roosting poles. We sprayed the Neem Oil mix all over in there and it would kill the ones in the open. But they would be all over the sprayed surfaces the next night. I finally convinced...

    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    Update: I have had more success ridding my chickens of lice and mites by dipping my chickens for a few minutes in a bath of warm water and Neem Oil 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water and a drop of soap to help the oil mix with the water) than Elector PSP, which has never been tested as a dip...

    Very small chick with injured leg.

    So I taped the chicks toes, but doesn't that add weight to the leg which would cause more pain and difficulty getting comfortable?

    Comment by 'wkshaddon' in article 'What to do when your flock is struck by FLYSTRIKE!'

    I had the same issue with my aunt's bhrama chicken. She had vent gleet which created the environment for the flystrike. The maggots were packed into a large hole they created that went far up under her skin, just below her vent. She was only a day away from certain death. It was disgusting. We...

    Very small chick with injured leg.

    no the toes curled are because shes not putting weight on her leg. She keeps it pulled up near her body, but from the knee down just dangles loosely. I think its likely broke right around there cause I've seen her move her leg at the hip. She also has a small cut on her rump. I haven't noticed a...

    Duck bill injury.

    Thank you so much for responding to my post! I kept her under observation for about half a day. She seemed to be doing a good job of taking care of herself on her own. She didn't root around in the mud with the other ducks, she just floated on the pond and took it easy for a few days. So I knew...
