I hate snakes, good ones are dead ones

I actually think this is really cute, enjoy your chicken

What breeds are those GlacierHen? I wouldn't mind rehoming a NICE roo in need, but it would have to be a NICE one lol.

yay!! go onslow!! so glad she is doing ok, and I agree do what the vet said, they know best :)

Melvin is gorgeous!! I love him I agree that the person's tone was rude in their letter. I would have been offended by it. Chickens are beautiful, clean creatures and are more hygienic than dogs, and indeed most people too!

Apart from an egg song or a predator squawk, my girls are quiet all the time! I have brown hybrid layers. If it's a very noisy 'bawk bawk bawk bawk bu-CLUCK bawk bawk bawk' type of noise they may be feeling threatened by your cat. My chickens chase cats lol! And they make no secret of the fact...

It is a deficiency, I cannot remember of what sorry, but a good feed supplement and premium layer food ought to help.

I hope Quattro is healthy and happy, how is s/he doing?

Keep trying the vet, and tell them it's life and death - it really needs to be the correct antibiotics and they will likely provide her with some pain relief too.

She appears to be getting better - must have pulled something! Walking almost completely normally now. Naturally just as she is due for her vet appt

I find that chickens develop very deep attachments to their family and friends of the flock, including their human flock

I don't have any advice, but just wanted to wish you and Mary well, and I really hope she pulls through for you

Ah ok if you were in WA I would have directed you to a good avian vet but you have one already, so no need! Please let us know how Onslow is after her vet visit, she is a very well loved hen

Awwww Abby2, that is so sweet, an elderly silkie! my vet told me an average of ten years for a well kept pet chicken, I hope my angels make it to 22!

YOu are doing a great job - whereabouts are you? Are in WA or over east?

Could be vent gleet :( poor little love - I would take her down to an avian vet.

One of my hens went suddenly lame about 5 days ago, on her left leg. She can lift the leg to scratch her wattles, but cannot wear bear on it. I can see no obvious injury or swelling, and it is not involving the foot pad in any way so definitely not bumblefoot. She is very very lame and is...

I vote to keep the little angel alive while she/he is happy, eating and socialising well sometimes nature deals us special individuals, and I think to cull a chick that is otherwise healthy and just odd looking would be wrong. I hope your special chick grows up healthy, strong and unique!

Stockfeeders often have antibiotic ointment for horses and cattle, but the best for birds is Flamazine ointment that your vet can provide. I had a hen get attacked by a nasty rooster (he is no longer with us ;) ) ages ago and she was bleeding and torn all along the back of her neck, nearly to...

I'd take her to the vet ASAP, mine visit our avian vet frequently and I swear by them! They can monitor her vital signs and assist her if she is going into shock too. I hope your poor little chicken is ok - rotten stupid dog!!
