    Upper Respiratory Infection - chickens

    We have a chicken that we believe has an URI. Last night I brought her in, separating her from the flock. She has rattling in her throat, had watery eyes (now she keeps them closed), and has runny nose. I used VetRx. I mixed it with warm water and then applied it to her body. I put a few drops...

    What’s wrong with my roo’s neck?

    We have a two month old Roo that we noticed early on had something wrong with his wing and his bottom stayed dirty. We made sure when he was little to keep his vent clean.

    What breed is this chick

    I got this little bantam at tractor supply the other day. He is VERY vocal and when held constantly tries to get away and pecks at me. I’m working with him but he is not into affection at all.

    3 month old pekin died suddenly

    Our 3 month old Pekin suddenly died today. I don’t understand why. She is always so friendly and affectionate. Loved being held.

    Roo’s or Pullets

    I have two Mille Fleur D’Uccle bantams that are about 7 weeks old. Would you say they are roo’s or pullets? I’ve heard that you can tell by comb and wattles but I’ve also heard that’s not a guarantee.

    I’ve heard that the comb and wattles are a way to tell sex of chicken. I’ve also heard that’s not full proof. Any idea if I have a roo or pullet? 7 weeks old.

    Eye infections

    I have two chicks with eye problems out of all that were born. They are almost 4 weeks old. One was born with an obvious eye problem. I’ve tried flushing it that doesn’t help.
