A few weeks ago i performed surgery for two bumblefoot sores on one of my chicken's feet...I have been soaking her feet in chlorhexidine and water for about 20 min every night then spraying theracyn and neosporin and bandaging them. she spends the night inside but goes out in the day. the lumps...
my black ameraucaa had umlefoot, so i removed it with tweezers, cleaned and bandaged it and put her in a large cage in my house with food and water. She has been standing there for an hour and a half and hasnt eaten or drank. her mouth is open and she is panting. the lights are off now. she did...
Last summer, we planted about 5 small azalea bushes in our backyard. Anyways, the chickens ate all of the bushes (they are gone now). I just read that azaleas were highly toxic to chickens and was curious about this. 1 blue ameraucana died that summer from paralyzation, and another of my blue...
My chicken is very droopy and has a hard time walking and standing up. She's a blue ameraucana about 1 yr old. I gave her valbazen because we just wormed last week and thought maybe the worms were not gone. I also gave her a little vitamin b and dropper fed it to her with water. I had this exact...
I just saw a worm in one of my leghorns poop. She has been lethargic and has lost weight and stopped laying eggs, and we thought she was egg bound. We have never wormed our chickens before. I just ordered Valbazen from Walmart. I couldn't find it anywhere else. It will take about three days to...
Today my 2 geese attacked 1 of the silkie hens(the only one that's laying. ) They were pulling out her feathers and shaking her in the air. I ran out and saved her, and she was shaken but not injured. I put her back with the other hens, and about an hour later it happened again. She was not...
My lavender ameraucana was on her back today. She couldn't get up. I had to turn her over and she sat there and then got up. Yesterday, I noticed that it looked like one of her legs was weak, and she was sitting a lot. What should I do?
Today I ran out and saw a small hawk flying off with my silkie. His grabbed her by the head. I yelled at the hawk and he dropped the silkie and flew away. There were no wounds but blood in her mouth. She doesn’t close her mouth and makes gurgling sounds in the back of her throat. Blood began to...
I was wondering if this was normal-I have a 3 day old lavender ameraucana chick and it keeps falling asleep. The others are chirping and eating but she just falls asleep. Even if I pick her up she doesn't even open her eyes. She is a little smaller than the rest.
I have about a 2 month old silkie that has poop that looks like a worm. It is white and sticky. She is not eating or drinking and doesn’t move around a lot. She also sneezes a bunch and wheezes. What is wrong with her? She was fine yesterday. I separated her from the others in case she is...
2 baby pigeons are going to hatch in 2 weeks. I have 9 week ameraucanas. Will they peck them to death? Should I move the nest with the parents? What should I do?
I know it's kind of late to be getting chicks, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some lavender/self blue ameraucana chicks? Most of the hatcheries are sold out. Im in NC
I have 2 goslings, 6 young silkies and 4 baby chicks. The silkies are fine with the new chicks, but the goslings keep grabbing them and shaking them. What should I do? I don't want the chicks to get hurt
Help! I have a two week old gosling, and he is kept with 6 chicks and another gosling. He keeps trying to bite the chickens, mostly their necks and tails. He doesn't bite humans! What should I do?
I have a 2 week old gosling. She has just started eating the pine shavings. She is not just digging through them, she is eating them constantly. She eats chick starter and poops fine. Is there any side effects in the long run? Should I put some chick grit out to help her digestion?
