Well, Miss Rose, sadly, is no longer with us. I worked with her for a week and every day she would prolapse again. It's so hard, I get so attached. My husband said chicks would make me feel better but I don't know. At least with dogs and cats you can take them to a vet.
I bathed her again and used the preparation h inside and out and her insides are staying in this time. I think she's going to be alright. Thank you so much.
Thanks. I threw all the chocolate chip and peanut butter kisses away. They loved the oatmeal raisin. Ive never read anything about whether or not sugar is bad for chickens. Ill give them a few every day.
thanks so much for the information. I'll try this website out first. I like the eggs and the marans chickens are beautiful too. I'll bet your brahma marans is beautiful too.
Thanks Michael Apple. A wealth of knowledge here to be found. Im always amazed at the speed of the responses on this site. Chicken people are good people.
My neighbor has a hen that falls over, walks in circles but otherwise seems fine. I read that these symptoms indicate ear mites. How do you treat ear mites?
I have tried to find a vet near here that will do that...to no avail. I'll wait for the egg laying to slow down. Ive only had chickens since April. I started out with 3 silkies and 2 Ee mixes then in June I ordered 10 chicks. Thats still wasnt enough so I bought 5 RIR. Love chickens, they make...
Is pumpkin a natural dewormer? I have not wormed my hens. They've just started laying and as awful as it sounds, I'm so excited to have eggs I don't want to not be able to use the eggs for 20 days.
Another "dumb" question for you, could worms be in the eggs?
Shes just too fluffy. She seems to be fine. I did cut the mess out, just too many feathers.im keeping an eye on her though. Shes the only one dirty around the vent. She layed an egg about an hour ago.
