I'm sad to say we had to put her down. She just wouldn't make any effort to eat, stand or even open her eyes. I think her internal organs just...
She doesn't seem to have any injuries. She can stand, but too weak to want to walk. My hubby found her when moving some of last year's hay bales...
You are all great, and I am trying all the ideas. She may be too far gone to save, but if she has even a little will to survive, I'm determined to...
Thanks for your thoughts. I want to at least try to help her. She seems like she has some fight left in her. I also gave her a little bit of...
She is very weak and feels like she hardly weighs anything. She could not have had any food and water where we found her. I am trying to give her...
I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you can figure out what is happening. You feel so helpless when something like this is happening. I may have...
I hope you can make this work at a profit! It would be great to hear your final results. This is the first year we've raised cornish, and we sold...
Thank you both for the replies! Sounds like sooner rather the later would be best. I sure don't want to lose any, and it is very hot and humid...

I have 35 cornish rocks, probably 1/2 male and 1/2 female. They are now 47 days old, and two of the largest males weigh 8 lbs and two of the...

I haven't had this problem, but from other posts I've read, it can become a big problem. Advice that I can remember was to check the nest boxes...

We currently have chickens and alpacas. The chickens have their own coop and usually do not venture close to the alpacas, but they could go by...
Surprisingly I just ordered from Cackle this morning, and they called to say they could be here in a few days if we were ready! I ordered Rhode...
Thanks for your replies! That was an interesting link Alan. I guess I'll just have to see what happens as they get older. I bet they'll still be...
I was contacted on our eggs for sale, and the person asked the age of my hens. He said he wouldn't buy eggs from hens over two years old since the...
Hi Ruth, Thanks for clarifying some more. For those of us that never thought we'd be doing "surgery" on a hen, it is a bit frightening. I felt...
