    I didn't check around her vent, and I wasn't with her long enough to see if she was drinking water.

    Help! Lamb with milk in its lungs

    Quote: They're so cute :) I haven't been able to get a vet appointment at the moment.

    Help! Lamb with milk in its lungs

    I'll see to having him vaccinated. When I came home he was snuffling really loudly and he isn't very active. I'm getting worried again. I hope he makes it through the night.

    I was feeding my new lamb about half an hour ago and he was fine when he finished drinking but then he started coughing and sneezing softly.

    Broody Hen - Ants Scratching, and White Crystals

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! The part about her losing weight doesn't sound normal. My broody hens usually gain a lot of weight when they're sitting. Maybe she's losing wieght because she's too busy scratching at all the ants and doesn't have time to eat? To control the ants, all you need is to...

    Need help! Very sick 4 week old chicks with strange symptoms. I need some ideas :(

    It looks like the poor thing is struggling to breath. Maybe they are struggling for breath and can't stand/walk because they're using all their strengths to try breathe?

    Why dont people want pet roosters?

    Quote: I don't usually buy chicks though, I breed them, or get them from friends. I live in Tasmania and I haven't heard of anywhere to get pre-sexed chicks. Quote: My roosters always seem to be tame, and I find them good homes where they can crow all they want.

    myxomatosis

    I shouldn't think it should affect humans in any way. It is a disease made for rabbits and only rabbits. I heard somewhere that if you are persuaded you are sick then you will feel sick. Hope you're not sick

    coop flooring

    Hay and woodchips are good to keep chickens from ruining the ground. And chickens can also search for bugs within the hay or woodchips.

    Cold snaps with chicks what should do ???

    You probably shouldn't be worried. A mother hen is VERY protective and she wouldn't let the chick run off and if the chick is cold, she will sit on it. But just to be sure, take the hen and chick inside or make a warm place in the coop for them.
