My hen is 2 years old and was completely healthy till she started displaying symptoms of lethargy and stopped eating properly. I didnt think much of it till I noticed that last night she didnt go back in the coop with the others. She stood all night. She looks very unwell. She's too weak to move...
So I have three 17 week old hybrid chickens. They are all very active and extremely friendly but recently a day ago they stopped eating their normal feed. Also, two of them have grown very red combs+waddles and have also started squatting even when walking near them. But one of them has started...
So I have only owned pure breeds and I am thinking of starting a new batch of Hybrid chickens. I have never had any experience of owning Hybrids and would really appreciate any advice. Im mainly keeping them as pets (eggs are a bonus). Ive had cochins and sussex bantams and they were the most...
So Im thinking of buying some Hybrids which I have never owned before. My main reason for keeping chickens is mainly for their company(eggs are a bonus). I have only been a chicken owner for 3 months and my last bantam batch were very ill so I returned them. Im very excited as I found a good...
One of my three chickens has been sneezing and previously had discharge from her eyes which she got treated with. But she never recovered from the sneezing.Now I have noticed that she has been twitching her head and a very tiny bit twitching her body. The other two havnt showed any of these...
So basically my chickens got coryza and I caught it in an early stage so they weren't too bad. Theres no vet in my area that can provide with a cure so I took them to the chicken breeder that I bought them from as they said they have the treatment and can provide it to them for free. Long story...
So all three of my bantams are suffering from coryza and the nearest vet who can provide with treatment is over an hours drive away. Im nervous about taking them because I know for sure that they'll be nervous the whole ride. And considering its an hour back, It'll be a long drive. I dont know...
Ive got three bantams and I was just wondering how cold is too cold for them. Its only November and its already getting to 1 degree celcius. Plus its getting windy and i can tell they're cold as they tend to avoid free ranging and huddle in a corner when its not sunny. Is knitting jumpers a good...
So one of my three bantams has been sneezing for over a month. I dont know what it is because she acts perfectly normal and the others don't sneeze as often as she does. She has also not shown any other symptoms such as discharge from eyes/nose. And her poo is normal. She is also eating and...
I already have three bantams and I have space for one more in my coop. I was thinking about getting another small breed that isn't particularly aggressive as my girls are very sweet and quite submissive though they do have a hierarchy. Are there any breeds that anyone could recommend??? Im a...
So last month I bought three bantam chickens for the first time. I realised how low maintenance and easy it was to raise chickens. This March I was thinking about hatching ducklings. About three to start with. But I know nothing about raising ducks. What are the best breeds to start...
So Ive got three chickens. I bought them all at the POL stage and I got on with all them them well. They would eat from my hand and let me pet them and pick them up. Unfortunately one of them got ill and I got it replaced. It is this one that I had trouble bonding with. She used to get afraid...
My buff bantam started sneezing over a week ago and I didn't think anything of it till three days after the sneezing her eyes and face were swollen and discharge was coming to of her eyes. I took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with coryza. She was given the antibiotics and also the others...
I have three bantams and my buff bantam is seriously infected with Coryza. I managed to get them to the vet and they all got injections and eyedrops. But the Buff bantam still has to be kept away from the others in a cardboard box. I spend some time comforting her or encouraging her to eat. I...
