    I also take a bazillion pictures to get one shot, but mine just don't hold up to a lot of what's posted. I've already posted 3, they are of a Sapphire Gem chick and sunflowers.

    My chicks are all in the weird stage of fluff and feathers. Plus, there's no way my crappy, ancient, android cell phone pictures will stand up next to most of these gorgeous photos that look like professional photography everyone is posting.

    Swollen belly and watery poo - please help!!

    Cloud and Rain are Lavender Cochins and turned 2 years old the first of May. For her breed, Cloud is 10% heavier than she should be. She gained all this weight when we had to move her into Gen Pop at the end of February after the tornado. Cloud and Rain are the only overweight birds. In the next...

    Swollen belly and watery poo - please help!!

    Last time, her poo looked just like this but with a massive amount of water. You're not going to believe this, but I think she is just fat. Like, obese fat. The reason I think this is her sister Rain has the same type of belly! Rain just isn't as large of a chicken. I felt the bellies of all...

    Swollen belly and watery poo - please help!!

    Next time she's inside and poops, I'll try to get a picture. There were no colors other than dark brown chunks in water when she exploded all over me, my phone, the couch and floor. I was very up close and personal with her poo. Her belly didnt seem to shrink after her poosplosion. She just...

    Swollen belly and watery poo - please help!!

    I was afraid of water belly, but she isn't showing any other symptoms. Maybe I'm doing the wishful thinking thing. I just don't want to lose my favorite girl. Water belly is a death sentence.

    Swollen belly and watery poo - please help!!

    This is Cloud and she just turned two years old. She is my absolute favorite chicken. I pulled her in to give her an Epsom salt soak to clean her poo encrusted backside off. Being as she is a large cochin, she tends to get a track of poo stuck to her butt feathers. It happens to her slightly...

    Versions of "chick chairs" PLEASE!

    Ok. I've been reading a lot about this. You shouldn't wrap it. You could set the bone in the wrong place. However, the chair is a good way for her to keep weight off the leg. She should heal up and just have a limp. Did the vet give you anti inflammatories for pain? Those will help the healing...

    Versions of "chick chairs" PLEASE!

    The sling chair I made, which is one post ahead of yours, I made for a day old chick with rotated tibias. The chair gave him a chance to get the top half of his body upright and strengthen his upper leg muscles. In your poor chick's case, I'd immobilize the hip in place with vet wrap and make a...

    Silly food themed names for chicks!

    I love food and onomatopoeia names! I have a Sriracha, Waffles, Soufflé, Cinnamon Toast Crunch (husband named her. She goes by Cinn), Popcorn, Cheesecake, Coconut, Tofu, Sugar, and Fluffernutter as food names. The onomatopoeia names are Splat, Squack, Bing, Zig, Zag, and Zip. I also named some...

    Thank you. After I posted that I remembered vet wrap. That's what I used. He ended up having rotated tibias and passed 4 days later.

    Chicken oddities: what’s something you wish your chicken/chickens didn’t do?

    I have two Sapphire Gem cockrells about 2 weeks from moving outside, and once they are grown Waffles will hopefully have a new run to move into. He will probably be sad, but I can't have him beat up because he's a quarter their size.

    Chicken oddities: what’s something you wish your chicken/chickens didn’t do?

    Waffles actually mounts, he's just too far up the hens back. He doesn't make it past her tail. My big roo was gotten by a bob cat the end of November. It cleared the 5ft electric fence in the middle of the day with full sun. So the girls were excited when I had to move Waffles in to the big run...
