    Pendulous Crop

    I noticed one of my hens had a low-hanging crop yesterday. I brought her inside, made her vomit as much as possible, and then fashioned her a "crop bra" to keep her crop elevated. I was going to keep her on a 24 hour water-only fast (mixed with a tiny amount of baking soda), and then feed her...

    Stunted chicks

    I recently dealt with coccidiosis in the brooder. Everyone got Corid water for 5 days, and some for 7 because they still had bloody stools. I lost a few chicks, but managed to save the rest. Now I have a few stunted chicks. They have access to water with poultry nutri-drench, and medicated...

    What to feed sickly chicks with coccidiosis?

    I am treating the whole flock with Corid. We're on day 2. I have a sickly pullet who does seem like she'll pull through, but I am worried about her food intake. She hasn't eaten in over 24 hours.

    Amerecauna mixes - a roo and a hen?

    My aunt gave me these "ladies", but she thought one of them might be a roo. They aren't quite 16 weeks. I'm looking in the daylight, and I'm thinking she's right (we were fishing chickens out of her coop in the dark). The bigger one struts moreso than the other one, with a head held high and a...

    Any idea what breed this hen is?

    She lays six creamy pinkish-brown eggs a week and is the boss of the flock. I got her from friends where two bigger hens were picking on her. The white patches among her feathers are where they really got into her, though I think she was in a moult, too. Everything is growing back. They weren't...

    18 Week Old Easter Egger - roo or hen?

    I sort of thought because of the pointy feathers and the fact he was slower to mature than the other Easter Egger (the buff hen in the pics) that he was a roo. But, his comb is tiny, not so red, and he's quiet. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance - I really appreciate it!
