I just saw this reply! I applied coconut oil to him earlier in hopes it would help. I will recheck it tomorrow morning. Also, yes he did have mites :( poor thing. That is why I washed him in the summer. They came back and I took him to the vet and I am now applying a weekly powder...
This broke my heart reading it.. first off I am very sorry this is happening. I'm not sure how to diagnose or detect and diseases myself as I am not a vet but I did try researching a little for you and I came across a website about mareks. I guess if I were you I would just look through this and...
I'm sorry I don't have an answer :( but you should get a stool sample and take it to a vet to analyze. They will let you know if any parasites are found within the fecal matter
Hope your chickies are okay!
Does anyone know what's wrong with my roosters comb? It is extremely dry and flaky, never saw it this bad before!! I washed him this summer with dawn and applied Vaseline a few times. Maybe that's the issue? Please help!! Also his waddles are also dry but not as bad as the comb.
Thanks! I have already cleaned and bleached and sprayed my garage with poultry protector. I've been spraying my roo down also. I am going to try the Ivermectin next!
I would google bird vets near you. Call a few of the nearest ones. Ask if they also treat chickens. You do this while your bf does it also so you can find a vet that knows about chickens fast. Tell whoever is on the phone what's going on and then Take her there. This is just what I would do bc I...
Hello again! I am hoping someone can help me out. I've been noticing these tiny tiny black bugs that crawled on my PHONE I have never seen such small (and hard to kill) bugs before. Smushing them with my hand or thumb and they'll still crawl! So I realized these things only showed up after I...
@Hholly thanks for that! I just read that and I'm pretty sure it's not wry neck but I will start giving him some vitamin E since its anti inflammatory and maybe it will help with whatever's going on.
Oh and I should add that it's not every single time he pecks at something on the ground it's mostly when he drinks water or maybe it's just when he bends his head down really close to the ground. I don't know!
Hello guys,
I am not sure what is happening with my roo but almost every time he bends down to drink water he will keep his head down and starting walking backwards until he finishes swallowing. Then he brings his head up back normally and resumes. I also noticed it when he went to peck at...
Hey all, I've attached images hopefully it shows :/ I'm not sure why my Roos spur looks like that. It's on his right leg only, the other spur doesn't look that way. Could this just be dry skin? Do they shed their leg skin also? If this is abnormal and there's anything I can do please let me know!
Yes my garage is attached to my house! And yes I do have people who will be home making sure he has enough food and water daily. They just won't play with him lol. That's good to know though, thank you very much for your help! @1muttsfan
@1muttsfan I live in Detroit and right now the weather is not bad but I will be leaving at the end of December for Christmas and new year and it gets very cold around that time!
Hey guys, I have one rooster and I swear he's more like a puppy lol. He only hangs out with me and no one else! We are very close (he falls asleep in my arms and always has to sit next to me/on me). Not your usual rooster I'll tell you that! I have this room in my house that I always bring him...
Hey guys I think my last post deleted somehow sorry if this is a repeat but I have uploaded a photo to show you guys the pretty large feather that just fell off my rooster. He wasn't picking at it from what I could tell and I'm around him a lot! I'm worried that this is something bad :( please...
