Yesterday I started my flock on Corid because they're losing weight. While at the farm store I also picked up VetRx. The stuff sounds pretty amazing for "colds, roup, scaly legs, eye worm", etc. It's also super simple to use according to directions. Has anyone every come across this stuff...
Two days ago I lost my young hen. She only showed signs of sickness the day before she died. I picked her up and noticed how incredibly thin she had gotten. (In less than 24 hours of this, she died). I'm really worried about the rest of my flock now. (All pets) I have one roo, 2 RIR, 5 EE...
I posted earlier this morning about my hen dying. She died in a box in my bathroom 2 minutes after I brought her in from the coop. A little while later I went into the bathroom and where the box was... was a small puddle. I checked the box & the box was wet too. Light brown colored watery...
Yesterday I noticed my beautiful red just sitting by herself in the yard near the drinking water (drinking often). I was able to simply pick her up which is always impossible. I hand fed her some apple and she did eat it(with some coaxing). When I picked her up I found how skinny she was...
I went out to the coop this morning to let all the chickens out and one was missing. Last weekend I bought 5 bantams. 2 of them are sultans. One has been acting very quiet for a few days. She was always trying to get up under the other sultan's wing or just sitting with her eyes closed. She...
Last week I got 2 bantam Sultans (about 3 mos. old). Yesterday I noticed one was holding her foot up quite a bit. I picked her up and inspected her foot and she's got a broken feather. It's a rather thick feather at the base and there is blood. Now, I just brought out their favorite treat...
My Mama hen hatched 3 chicks on her own 2 weeks ago. I have them in their own little (3x6) area of the coop. They can all see what's going on with the other chickens. Once a day I haul the four of them out into a portable hand-made pen in the grass. I put some sand and/or dirt in so Mama can...
Yesterday I found that Mama had stepped on one of her eggs she was sitting on. She's successfully hatched 3 on her own so far. I thought I'd let nature take it's course and see if Mom would continue to sit on it. Well she pecked at it so hard I was scared she'd kill it. So I took it away...
