    adult chicken weak and partially paralyzed, suggestions welcome

    gurgling stomach in a human, means that food is moving along in the intestines. With diareah, it means more gurgling and gas?. Do chickens have stomachs? I suppose we are talking about intestines, and crop. Anything else come after that.....? Just thinking outloud, in case it could help.

    Swollen Serama Hen.Please Help!!!!!

    We lost a Serama hen in what sounds like your hen is doing. You are doing the best thing you can. Antibiotics might help. I imagine that there is or will be a bad odor if she is egg bound or has a ruptured egg inside. Our little hen had also laid a soft egg recently, and also had plenty of...

    Thank you Yomama and all for your support in our loss

    Thank you Yomama and others for your support in the death of our little serama Roo, Guapito. (Peato) It is so difficult for me to handle his death. He had become my little pal, as a lap pet, since he couldn't walk or fly, he was quite content to sit and be patted. When one of ours becomes...

    Shipped peafowl in pics (pic heavy)

    Quote: Any remedy for prevention of that happening to another bird or was it just a freak event? I'm trying to aclimatize my three peachicks to out door facility... fencing and netting, quite secure. I worry about what I haven't thought of that could kill them. Meanwhile they are in our master...

    Which Male?

    My vet told me to give a peafowl 4in1 brand nasal spray. Just a couple of drops on each nostril. But let him get it completely in one nostril before doing the second. He was insistant that I use exactly that brand. I can't recall the reason. I only applied it once each day. it helped alot, so...

    HELP!!! My peafowl's legs are broken!!!

    ok, this is going to sound stupid.... Untwist them~ jk... splint, with padding. Feel them, do you feel a break, does he wince when you touch in certain place. Is the chick just weak? Try feeding him yourself. from your finger tips. Baby peafowl might look like they have eaten, but maybe they...

    Teach him not to crow and he can stay.....lol I agree that the sooner, the more likely he will be a pet than dinner. But I tell myself that if I raides him welll, he is one dinner that didn't come from a chicken factory and suffer terribly. We are in difficult paradox here. When we raise...

    How I help weak baby chicks to survive. Hope it is helpful.

    When chicks hatch and get tossed a a box to go for a ride to their new home, they can vary in how long one has been hatched from one to the next. Some have gotten their bearings more than others. A couple of hours makes a big difference. When you have mail order chicks or any new chicks that...

    Peafowl Pros!!!!

    Dearest Deerman, Forgive me, I failed to give all the other characteristics that I look for in a very young chick. The length of the legs was just one point. I have thuroughly enjoyed this discussion, especially with you. I should not write things in a hurry when talking to people who can take...

    Peafowl Pros!!!!

    If the week old baby peafowl are white and are from the same batch, you can include size in differential. obviously if they are white you can't tell by color. There are many ways to tell by color, I think two very good ones have been mentioned here. Telling males from females is much easier...

    Sexing White Peafowl

    looking at your pictures again and again.....and reading your post more carefully...... does the one in the picture of the threesome, on the left have a fluffy tail like the one in front? If he has been ill, or is much younger, that could throw a person off., but I realized you had a close up of...

    Sexing White Peafowl

    The tall one in front is the male, CAn't see the details on the one on the left.. Watch how they act, the male often has his head up looking around, and the females are submissive coming to him when he calls or going where he goes. He will offer food to her. If he isn't displaying his young tail...

    Peafowl Pros!!!!

    Quote: WE have a peahen and a peacock. From day one it was pretty obvious which gender they were. Now I have two baby white peachicks. Now five days old. I can tell which is male by the longer tail,longer torso, and his legs are longer. he seems as though his legs are very awkward to walk on...
