    3 wk chick. Swollen abdomen

    [/IMG] Anybody know what this bean shaped tumor looking thing is? This austrolorp is about three weeks d from my pet chicken. It may have been there the whole time. I had a chick with perosis in the same batch and that kind of took most of my attention. But the mass has grown. I thought it...

    Third eye lid injury

    This is Peckers, an ancona. She had this one eye closed this morning when I picked her up. She has been a little distant from flock the past few days. We have a newly matured rooster that could have pecked her. I have her in a hospital pen in the house right now. It's been the same for a couple...

    Hen is starving herself.

    I have a barnevelder named Mallory who is pretty low in pecking order. Six months ago we hatched a rooster who is now mating our 12 hens. Mallory is especially opposed to be mounted by the rooster. She runs and screams and hides. So about a month ago, I noticed she was hiding on the patio ALOT...

    Chick attacked by broody.

    Got home to one dead hatchling. One injured. Three eggs left under mom. A different chick hatched two weeks ago and she has been a great mom. I wasn't at home today and was expecting hatch day tomorrow. My questions are 1) is there anything I can do do save this chick? 2) did momma do this...

    When to change sweet PDZ bedding?

    I have a small coop 4 x 6 exterior but smaller interior bc of the way we built it. (My husband called it the divorce coop for a long time!) the floor is linoleum. Last summer I dumped about ten bags of sweet PDZ in there. I scoop daily, with the occasional skip (like freezing weather, long work...

    Thin/bumpy uneven shell.

    My Almost one year old EE lays these huge shell less, thin shelled, bumpy shelled eggs. She doesn't sit down to lay and so sometimes they crack before she gets out of the box. Sometimes she doesn't make it to the box. She makes a funny noise when she lays and I'm worried there is something wrong...

    Breed? Cochin/brahma, marans/jersey giant

    Cochin? Light brahma? It just seems so much more feathered than the two partridge Cochins that I was sent. Also, I can't tell what kind of comb is coming out. She is about 3 weeks. Her shoulders are solid right now but I know she has a darker skin spot on both shoulders. Mystery chick #1...

    Do I really have 7 roosters out of a flock of 10???!

    I am new to chickens. I started out with two Partridge Wyandotte Bantams. My dog got one, which I'm pretty sure was the female. Next I got two barred rocks, which I'm 99% sure are males, except I haven't heard ANY crowing at 16 weeks. I also have two Rhode Island Reds, which both have red combs...

    Help! One down, another sickly.

    Got nine EEs from My Pet Chicken yesterday afternoon. After observation, one seemed to not want to open its eyes or eat or drink. I dipped its beak in water. It really didn't respond but eventually it got a little. Eyes opened this morning but the chick seemed to move very little. It also had a...

    RIRs, lemon Cuckoo Orphingtons, Wyandotte Bantam

    I really, really want to believe that my RIRs are girls. They are about 11-12 weeks old. Some people say they can get combs and wattles faster than other breeds? Anyway, opinions are much appreciated. [/IMG] Here is another pic of the second bird protecting my bantam who I'm pretty sure is a...
