    Never in my life have I seen this…..

    That’s what I was coming back to say… Maybe a prolapse and the others had picked at her. I was watering and heard a squawk and turned around in a guinea was going after her. God, I always have my husband do this but there’s no way I’m going to wait till he gets home. That is just horrible. Thank...

    Never in my life have I seen this…..

    Prolapse??? Gone REAL BAAAD? There is no other signs of a predator attack. No feathers pulled and scattered. A piece of her bone is just fell off. Obviously euthanasia is the answer. But any ideas of what could cause this …. Other than a predator of course. Got stuck in something. I have no...

    Water belly or something else? Need help.

    I believe my chicken has water belly. She has been lethargic in the coop, but was still roosting, etc. The other day I found her in the yard hiding under a ramp with her tail down looking very poorly. It has been getting very hot outside. I picked her up and felt that she had nothing in her...

    Injured, shaking head, walking slow and falling over

    When I was researching it on this site I saw how those symptoms may look like a head injury. But they just attacked her on her back and unless she bumped her head while trying to get away. And actually when I found her she was eating and they were just picking at her butt. Not sure how she could...

    Injured, shaking head, walking slow and falling over

    Thank You. I have. Maybe a riboflavin deficiency 🤷‍♀️ They recommend most that I have done giving her greens, scrambled eggs, supplements. I’ll go get some yogurt and vitamin B2 today in case the minerals and vitamins haven’t covered that. Gave her some canned cat food to go along with...

    Injured, shaking head, walking slow and falling over

    Today she seems more alert and eating well. Preferring picked grass over most every thing else. She can walk some but I’ve noticed her toes are curled up when she is trying to walk or stand. I know I’ve gotten no help or responses so far.... but thought I’d try again. Does this on top of...

    Injured, shaking head, walking slow and falling over

    I have been researching these symptoms and it’s all over the place. Does anyone have any ideas? In reading other posts and threads I’m wondering if she has mites. Since it says that’s where they tend to feed, and I wonder if that’s why they attacked her back end and around the vent ... eating...

    Injured, shaking head, walking slow and falling over

    My chicken was attacked by the other chickens. They tore her back and around her tail up pretty bad. In some places to the bone. I separated her and put nitrofurazone puffer on her wounds. I had to leave town for a week so my husband has been making sure she is fed and watered. 2 days ago (7...

    Bottom jaw ajar

    I agree. The dish is deep which is why I keep it full. I think a mash would be great. And make it easier. Other than then she would have dried mash stuck to her face all the time. It’s the 39 other chickens As well that she is in with. I’d make the mash and she’s probably continue on trying to...

    Bottom jaw ajar

    Thank You for giving it a name. It was easy to look up after that. Meyer hatchery was actually the first to pop up. I’ve been keeping the feeder full for her knowing she would need deep food to be able to eat. As I mentioned ... she is great, active and same size as the rest. Just eats more...

    Bottom jaw ajar

    I have had many a chicken, but this is a new one on me. I got 40 chicks and they all seemed normal and healthy. Then in about 2 weeks I noticed one of my Americanas bottom jaw was slightly ajar from the other one. I picked her up and moved it around and back under the beak but it just went back...

    Help! My hen was attacked!

    Sorry to hear Suzie Q was attacked. Its sounds like she will be just fine, i have been through this many times between predators, breeding season, and pecking order. If you can keep her inside where it is warmer, she will be more comfortable, and will have to use less energy to stay warm and...

    2nd sick chicken...... Anybody have an idea....quickly?

    I looked up cocci on the Miller hatcheries site and it said to treat it with sulfa. But I had read on this site to treat it with corrid. It seems like sulfa would be the best blanket med to cover whatever this may be.
