I have a year old roo I found in the back of the coop and his head's swollen and he can't open his eyes because of the swelling. Not wanting to eat or drink so I've been giving him water etc, through a syringe. Any ideas?
I found one of our Ideal 236 hens dead in one of the nest boxes this afternoon. Couldn't see that anything was wrong. She was only about 9 months old. Any ideas?
I have a silkie chick that's about 8 weeks old and every once in awhile I notice it's head "bobbing" like it can't control it. It only lasts maybe a minute then it's fine. Any suggestions on what it might be?
I've got 26 new chicks coming in the morning! 10 New Hampshire Reds, 10 Danish Brown Leghorns, 3 Ameraucanas and 3 Salmon Faverolles.
Anybody have opinions on any of these breeds? I've got Ameraucanas now but the other 3 breeds will be new to me.
Thanks!
