    Slipped tendon?

    Anyone know what I might be looking at here? My silkie has been inside since we lost her buddy. All my other birds are larger and she got picked on as it was. She wasn't eating for a bit and lost more weight than I was comfortable with. For now she's getting grower feed with extra vitamins...

    Crooked chick foot

    I have a bantam cochin who doesn't want to put weight on one foot. I've already started probiotics, vitamin b and e and have taped the foot to help keep the toes spread. The chick is eating and pooping fine, but is growing much slower than the others. It breaths a little heavy, but I can't...

    Is the breed accurate?

    I picked up a few hens since I'm planning on splitting my flock by size and my roo needed more ladies. The lady told me two were Welsummer hens and two were cuckoo maran crosses. I don't particularly care about the breeds, if I have barnyard mixes that's totally fine with me as there's no plan...

    Chicken vent injury :(

    I think I've done nearly all I can for my little silkie right now, but wondering if someone else has had a similar experience. I've got my ducks and chickens in the same run. There's a divider I can put up if needed, but both sides can fly over it, so I just opened it up to avoid injury. The...

    Wry neck?

    Am I on the right path with this? Throughout the day she sometimes seems better, then tonight the neck twisting seems worse and another pullet was pecking at her. I gave her a full capsule of Vitamin E tonight per the Wry Neck thread and have the other vitamins in her water (on top of syringe...

    Disheartened first time chicken owner

    Hi all, I've made a few posts on BYC, but am still fairly new to chickens. This is a bit of a vent post. Lately, it feels like everything that could go wrong with my small flock has. In the last month, I lost 3 of my 8 pullets (1 unknown cause, one crop issue, and the third was coccidia). I've...

    Temporary Coop for New Hens

    Hi folks! I'm looking to add about 5 hens before winter hits as I lost a few pullets during my first year with chickens. From looking at the forum, many suggest quarantine for new chickens to watch for disease/illness before integration. Given that coccidia has kicked my butt this season, I'm...

    Crop issue in underweight pullet - Sour Crop? Worms?

    One on my pullets passed suddenly yesterday which prompted a widespread inspection of the rest of the flock. This is the first year of having chickens and I thought things were going well - aside from the lice, which is another matter. I have one wyandotte pullet (~4ish months) who has always...

    I had a pullet (4+ month) orpington pass today and I don't know why. This is my first round of chickens and she was one of my favorites. She was lethargic yesterday but seemed to be eating/drinking. Today she was also lethargic and breathing heavy. I tried to give her nutridrench, but she...

    Wobbly Duckling

    Hi all, I could use some help with one of my Khaki ducklings. I have four ~5 weeks old, all of them are growing like weeds, eating, drinking, etc. But one has a mark on their neck (like a bald spot, or a possible trauma injury) and has some balance issues. Sometimes (like 1 day a week, 2-3...

    Hi Peeps!

    First, I'd like to say thank you for all of the help on this site! It's incredibly valuable for new fowl owners like me. :) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Got chicks this June and ducklings as of a week ago! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 9...
