Hello everyone! Need some advice please, our free range chickens were spoked by something (idk what) but 5 of our hens are missing. They are always together but 5 are missing. This just happened the other 3 we can tell are scared and I’m assuming the other 5 are in the thicket behind my shop...
I'm not sure if this will work, but you need to get the band off asap. Circulation can be an issue now so I suggest getting a very sharp knife, scalpel or some sort of blade. You may want to soak the leg in warm water to help soften the skin, this is very tough. Have someone hold him and cut...
Just to let everyone know, my baby chick passed away this morning. I thank you for all your help and support. I wish everyone and their chicks/chickens well. Thanks again.
The only antibiotic I have is a Human amoxilcillan. I scraped some of the pill off into a powder and mixed it with some water, I got her to drink a little of it. I probably killed her by doing that but shes probably going to die soon anyway. I hope she don't, I hope that by some miracle this...

It doesn't look like the sores in the pics of Bumblefoot, but this could be early signs. I will be uploading pics of her/he shortly. Thank you for your information. Maybe when I get pics on here someone can get a better idea of what it may be that is wrong with it.
Thanks again.

My baby chick has a lump on the left side of it neck. I noticed it a couple of days ago. It felt like it had a pocket full of grit or food. Today, the lump is still there feels flat but kind of hard with a little gritty feel and it's crop has food in it. Is this lump related to the crop? I took...
