Can anyone help me decide if this is a welsummer roo or maybe a different breed? They were all meant to be welsummer pullets. It’s 3 weeks old, no sign of a comb, but the others all have tiny combs already. Markings are completely different from its chick mates. But the legs are pretty big I think!
I have a 4 day old chick that I’m worried has an impacted crop. I’ve taken away food over night and it is slightly smaller in the morning but not by much. She is eating and drinking, acting normal. But I don’t understand what she could be impacted with.
Her crop was empty when I got her, I made...
Because tractor supply hasn’t had tylan anymore I’m just trying to make sure I have a stock of antibiotics for emergencies. I’ve heavy of people using fishmox but I’m confused on how they administer it. It comes in capsules, do I break it into water? And is the dosage per pound or just one capsule?
Hey all! I have a hen who had a mild case of sour crop that started a week ago. Her breath was bad and crop wasn’t emptying, but it never got large or watery. So I clear that up and now I just need to get her on food again. I’ve been giving her scrambled eggs with probiotic powder on them. She...
I was inspecting my chickens today and noticed one of them has black scabs on both of her feet. I looked at the rest and about half my flock had the same thing. They’re acting completely normal and the skin wasn’t swollen or hot to the touch. It looks like Bumblefoot but I can’t possible operate...
I’ve got a two year old buff Orpington who is going through a hard molt. A week ago I noticed her high stepping and crossing feet when she tried to walk. She also had a little crackle with each breathe. I brought her inside and treated with antibiotics, the crackle went away but she still high...
I just noticed a few of my girls have these odd blotches of white in their earlobes. No one is acting strange and I recently dewormed. Any idea what it could be? (Not my chicken, but looks just like this picture)
I have a one year old golden comet who I noticed had gotten very thin and had a pale comb. I treated her and the rest of the flock for worms last night, when I went to let them out this morning her comb looked better but I realized her crop was full and hard.
I’ve seperated her and tried to...
I have some hens who are about 5 1/2 months old. They all have these patches on your back where the feathers are thin and fuzzy. I’ve checked them over and I don’t see any signs of parasites. My older hens look fine. Is it molting?
I've got a hen who's been acting a little lethargic the last couple days. She's still getting up to eat and drink but she walks slowly and spends most of the day laying down.
When I got her a couple of month ago she had lice and shortly after became ill with a respiratory infection which have...
