    RIR hen bloated

    I have a 2.5 yo RIR hen. She stayed on the roost fo 2 days. I took her out and put her to water. She drank a little and then just stood there. I picked her up again. Noting her to have a swollen abdomen. Like a balloon. Thought she may be egg bound. Checked carefully and felt no egg. I put her...

    Dogs plucked his back and neck feathers

    my sweet boy ventured into the wrong territory where we keep our Pyrenees. He went over two fences. Anyway, he is fine other than a bare back and neck. I bathed him and put antiseptic on him and he fluffed nicely after a blow dry. I feel like though, I need to put something on his skin. He seems...

    Bad Rooster

    well, I have a beautiful Phoenix rooster that protects the ladies very well. I use to have a stick to remind him who is boss. I got too comfortable with him and he went after me.

    Bow legged

    Piper is 6 weeks old. Much smaller than her lady friends. She is now bow legged from an injury when very young. I provided therapy vitamins and at one point she couldn’t stand on one of her legs.

    Update

    all the ladies were alive this morning! Yay! But...I have one lil lady who has an injured leg. She can’t walk on it and she won’t take food and water from me. I feel certain she is in pain.

    Excited!

    new chicks arrived! Lost one out of 80. Not bad! They are so cute! They are layers for us to sell when they are big enough! I’m not allowed to fall in love with them. Haha! I have my 10 ladies that I adore!

    Rooster Limping

    Hi! I’m new and am excited to get feedback! I have a Phoenix Rooster who is manly to my 10 hens. I noticed about 2 weeks ago he started limping. So I took him I. The house (with a towel as he is not easy to work with). Checked bumblefoot and feet look good. Felt his tendons and muscles on both...
