    Baby Chicks Mom Killed....

    I forgot to add that this chick also witnessed the dog attack which killed her mom and all of the other chickens. She hid under her dead mom for 4 hours before I even found her. :,( She didn't make any noise or move so I only found her when I moved the mom. Thank God she was unharmed. Could she...

    Baby Chicks Mom Killed....

    I have 3 frizzle chicks that I rescued after their mom (and all 16 of my other chickens) were killed. The oldest is almost 4 weeks and the other two are 2 1/2 weeks. I was wondering about the oldest chick, she is very very attached to me. When I let them out of their little brooder box, the...

    my chicken was born with backwards legs

    With my chicken "Spike", the vet said that his hip socket was too shallow to keep the hip joint in the proper place. He said the only way to fix it would be put a pin in there to hold it, but surgery wasn't recommended for a bird as they rarely make it through. I took him when he was quite...

    my chicken was born with backwards legs

    I just came across your post and I wanted to share the story of my rooster "Spike" who had this exact thing wrong with his legs. It started when he was a few days old and got progressively worse, until he was grown...then the leg was completely backwards. I took him to the vet, and they told me...

    Hen attacked by dogs-need help treating her!!

    Thank you everyone for responding. My hen died shortly after I posted last night. I can't believe I lost my entire flock yesterday (21 total). I have 3 little newborn baby frizzles, that were saved, to raise now, but I'm scared to put them back in the yard after the slaughter yesterday :(

    Hen attacked by dogs-need help treating her!!

    I had a pack of wild dogs break into my coop today and wiped out my entire flock. 11 large birds, 6 frizzle bantams. One of the frizzle bantam hens was surprising still alive, barely. I brought her in the house at about 9:00 this morning (right after I discovered the horrible attack). She was...

    Comment by 'carolina chicky' in item 'Frizzle'

    I have 7 bantam frizzles and I LOVE them. They are great mothers and will sit several times a year (or at least mine have). The rooster is very protective of the hens and they are very mild mannered. They are also very adorable :). I have a few double frizzles (which resulted from 2 frizzled...

    bantam chick-torn crop, Please HELP!!!

    YAY!! I think the superglue did the trick. She has been eating and drinking all day and no leaking. She is pooping way more than yesterday. I examined her good today and redressed the wound just in case but I think the problem is solved, or at least I hope it is. Thanks everyone for helping me...

    bantam chick-torn crop, Please HELP!!!

    Thanks.. I just cleaned the area good and did something I hope wasn't the wrong thing. I put a tiny tiny dab of super glue on the skin and pulled the hole shut. I let her sit for a while and then let her try eating/drinking again. Thank God, nothing is leaking out now. I have covered the area...

    Oldest Cornish Cross?

    I have a Cornish Cross Rooster named "Clucky" who is now 2 years and 3 months old. He had some tough times around 9 weeks old, but he got through them. I keep him on a controlled diet and he grazes in the grass like the others. He has become a pet to me and I am amazed that he has lived so long...

    Special needs chickens contest

    This is my rooster Spike. He was born with a weird leg so I took him to the vet at 6 weeks old. Turns out it is dislocated and can only be fixed with surgery. But, he told me most birds don't survive surgery. His leg is completely backwards, but he can get around quite well. So now he lives...
