    Sick chickens and one that was potentially beat up.

    Ugh. I loved having chickens up until recently. I'll try to keep this brief and to the point. About 4 weeks ago one of my barred rocks got (what i'm fairly confident was) vent gleet. I bathed her and put antifungal cream on her daily and and it looked like she was on the mend. When I lock...

    Day-old Chick With Broken Leg

    For those in a rush, the short question is how to go about splinting an injured leg of a day-old chick where you can't identify which bone(s) are injured. Should I do my best to try to splint the femur, tibia, and metatarsus? I don't think I will be able to separate the chick from the mother...

    New, from BC Canada

    Finally set up an account. I've been learning from this website for quite a while but wanted to be able to ask questions and maybe answer any questions for people newer to chickens than me. I live on Vancouver Island and have had chickens for just over two months. Its funny but I really enjoy...
