Post crop surgery & my poor chicken's skin looks bad. She is on penicilin & topical antibiotic (was neosporin, just switched to bactroban/mupirocin).
She is eating & drinking. Eating more than drinking. Pooping regular along with watery. Feeding probiotic mash, applesace.
Her skin looks...
Poor chicken, she is doing so much better after "home" crop surgery but is now VERY CONGESTED.
I am using VetRX & she is getting penicillin to treat/prevent infection. Any other ideas or thoughts??????
Long story short....very sick chicken tried all crop impaction/sour crop home remedies. Chicken was losing weight & getting sick. We did crop surgery at home and it went very well (thanks to all of you who have posted instructions).
Chicken (13 weeks) is feeling loads better. She is on...
One of my 12 week old Americaunas is doing a strange thing with her neck. It does not sound like crookneck.
She is doing a side to side motion with her neck, it almost looks like a dance. None of the other chicks are doing this. Any ideas? It just started this morning.
It's kind of like the...
Got feather mites , DE isn't working as well as I would have hoped.
Has anyone used anything natural or non toxic to get rid of them?
The infestation doesn't seem to bad ...yet.
Any results with following:

OK..just went to check on the girls...all 10 weeks old & on medicated feed. One is cowering in corner. She didn't fight at all when I picked her up. She seems week in the knees. She might be the chick I saw earlier on a very high roost who seemed afraid to get down...maybe she is hurt. She...
This is not my picture, but a picture of the exact same weird poop I see in the coop every morning, I think it is coming from just one of the birds. The website I got this picture off of said it is intestinal lining & nothing to be worried about, but I still don't think it seems normal. Could it...

Well, I have just one more chick to figure out & I will finally have a flock of all girls. This one is around 11-12 weeks old. She/he has started to make some sounds I can hardly even describe. Some sound like throaty calls & others sound like a regular cluck cluck.
Thanks in advance for all...
I posted this girl/guy about 3 weeks ago.... his or her adoptive home is ready for him/her & I just want to be sure before I give this chicken up (I love this little feller)!!!
Chicken is approx. 11 weeks old. I was told it was a Cuckoo Marans.
Thanks in advance for your help ...
Hi- I have a 7-8 week old Cuckoo Marans chick. He is droopy, sleeping alot & he feels hot.
I'm in AZ & while it is warm here he & the other chicks have lots of water, shade etc...the other chicks are not hot & seem fine. No one is panting.
I gave him Nutri Drench straight a few minutes ago...
Well, this cute little one is supposed to be a girl, but I am nervous that she is a rooster. I just love her & I can't have roosters where I live. Anyone have an educated guess?
The breeder said she is 8 weeks old, but she looks younger to me.
Thanks for your help !!!
