Unfortunately, no. I need to take care of it because it is the humane thing to do. It is also a good idea to know for future what I may have already at home in times like these.

I need to euthanize my chicken asap. I do not want to ring or chop off her head. What is something I might have in my own first aid kid that will kill her quickly and how much should I give? It needs to be orally. I do not have any iv or sub-q needles. Thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'll contact them asap.

Thank you

No, she sure doesn't look deathly ill, now. The day I found her she did. I didn't realize I could swab and send in a sample. I was dreading bringing her in to a vet which on some level seems just so odd however, I don't want her to suffer, either. I guess you're right about quarantine and...

This is Donna Henli. I've had her a few years now and this is the first sign of her ever being ill. The video says it all but it's almost 5 min of me talking while you admire the queen. I have 21 hens and she is my only dinky. Found her lethargic, eyes closing, wings dropped, didn't even...

My young hen died early this morning. Bless her tiny, loving body and soul. She tried.

Oh that's really terrible. I know it is possible but also unlikely since she is only 6 months old. Could happen but this was a quick thing and not something I noticed as gradual. I'm with them every day and she loves me. Always with me.

Thank you.

My young hen began meowing and having trouble breathing. I let it go a couple days to work itself out. It is allergy season here, everything in bloom. I dropped RX Med down her throat twice but no help. My poor baby hen who's only 6 months old and the sweetest of all, has a lump in her...

I have found that to be exactly the opposite of what I preach. My most gentle roos have been hand feed, cuddled, petted, groomed and so on. My favorite was Prince (in my profile pic) and I miss him to this day. The roos I had the least amount of contact with have been the most aggressive...

My 2 year old Buff Orp. seems never to habe been as healthy as her twin sister. This is night 3 after seeing her all of a sudden lethargic and confused and stumbling. Her comb is also the palest pink I've ever seen on any of my chickens I've had over several years. I immediately gave her B12...

The feet and legs are a good 3/4 dark in color

My husband brought them home. They were here when I got home. There was apparently an abrupt living situation where they were (with the humans) and that is all I know. I don't know if they are sexed or what the outcome was, I don't know the breed although I think they look liked Barred Rock...

I have many chickens but I don't have any Barred Rock which is what these look like to me. I have heard and read that you can tell male from female by the dot vs. spread out splatt on their head. If they are a splatt like each of these, they are male. I do not know if this is true and...

It sure is! Just so happensnI have a small halter that has never been used and I have never been able to gift it away. There's a reason for everything and this may be it.

It was a home remedy. Nothing you could purchase ready to go.

Thank you very much. It wasn't either of these but still great to keep handy.

Hi there. I am unable to locate a message I'd saved years ago which explained NO SURGERY, but only washing, packing with some salve or some sort of something, and then wrapping the chickens foot for a week. After a week, take off the wrap and the bumble oftentimes has come off with the wrap...

B12 and D3 is what I would do and am doing now. You may have both at home in your vitamin cabinet. B12 dissolvable in drinking water. The way I understand it and have researched it, there is no chance of OD and the chick will eliminate what its body can't use. D3 you will need to guess on...
