It has stayed with me for four days and three nights now. I give it an opportunity to try and fly every day as a test but it just flutters to the ground. It walks fairly well but as I mentioned in the title, it seems to have balance issues. When it tries to groom itself, for instance, it sort...

Hi, four maybe five months ago I bought these two chicks at a local feed store. They were sold as Polish. The brown one, Zoolou Warrior,, has its top knot trimmed to improve vision but I have not trimmed the white and black one, Speckles. I have no doubt that the brown on is indeed a Polish...

I am pretty sure I have had chickens in my flock with this, infectious bronchitis, corona virus. I know it is not the same virus as the novel covid 19 but it is from the same class (corona) of viruses. Someone should do a study or poll (perhaps from folks on BYC might be a good start) to see...

Should I make her get off or just leave her alone to figure it out? I have been giving her food which she eats but Im worried she is pooing on the eggs and in the nest. She is tucked back between two vertical walls so I dont get much view of anything more than her head. I dont smell any poo...

I have been reading through chicken forums regarding Coccidiosis and found the treatment is Amprolium (Corrid). No word about antibiotics. I read on Wikopedia that Sulfasalazine or other sulfa antibiotics are used to tread Coccidiosis and there was no mention of amprolium (Corrid). Why is...

I just acquired a young Sultan and I noticed when I first got him that the feathers on each wing near where his wings attach to his body were sort of sticking out/curling out. I thought the feathers got twisted maybe in the effort to corral and transport him. It has been a week and the...

I know it is said that roos are not needed to get eggs from hens but I have witness something different. I have roos and my gals are always laying, brooding and raising chicks, year around. I have a few "delicate" hens, some of them older, on my porch that I keep away from the rest of the...

Ive check for pasty butt and that is not it. It is not eating probably because she feels horrible due to not passing food. Eating food might help with any digestion issues but I cant get her to eat. It seems like a catch 22 situation. I have administered amoxicillin, doxycillin and Corrid as...

I dont know how to treat this. It struggle to poo but poo is normal. Checks of vent indicates no pasty but just the swelling which impedes its poop. Any suggestions as to how I can help it? Going to try Magnesium sulfate soak.

I have a broody hen who has not been doing a great job keeping her eggs warm. The result is her eggs are about a week late to hatch but they are alive as they wiggly and peep when I water candled them. I know that they have a yolk store for the normal incubation time of three weeks + a few days...

I am wondering if a humidifier can deliver Oxine to a group of chickens or do I need to get a fogger?

Young roo not responding to denagard or amoxicillin for respiratory issue. Can I give him anything for the severe wheezing he is suffering with? He has been sick for six months or longer with no apparent help from either medicine mentioned. Trying Duramycin start today. I need to help ease...

I have a mother hen who hatched many babies with two other hens in the same nest box. There were two eggs in an abandoned nest so I gave these eggs to the three broodies. All the hatchlings are light in color or brown but the two from the abandoned nest hatched out black. Two of the hens are...

So my little house pullet, Annie, who hatched in November has been broody on a plastic bottle for a few weeks. I kept taking the eggs she was laying away but she found this bottle next to her nest. Ive given her an egg but she ignores the egg and covets the bottle. Today I tried to give her...

Im looking for ideas. Im trying something Ive never tried before but then I have never noticed a chick with cross beak beak so early before. It just came out of the shell this morning and I could see that the beak is slightly crossed. I have had experience and I know the with age the cross...

I have a six month old pullet who started laying early and laid an egg religiously for about two months. She also laid about the same time every day rather than the one hour off routine. Anyway, after laying about 24 eggs or so she stopped for a day then laid again then stopped. Now she is...

My little girl finally died but she survived since I got her as a nearly mature female with this leg/joint issue. She had a hard time getting around but managed and lived with me for about a year with this joint swelling issue.
