Thank you all so much! This is exactly what it sounded like. I did check inside her beak and found nothing, I administered just a few drops of olive oil and massaged a bit and overnight it stopped. This is the best group!!
Good evening chickeneers: When I went out to close up coops just now, I have a 6 month old Bielfelder that sounds like she's honking when she exhales! She was on her roost with her mates but, I brought her in so she wouldn't attract attention to any predators (we have foxes in the area), She has...
Thank you! I have her separated, she has had a very funny white poo. No egg that I can feel, sprayed with Vetricyn and have given her a scrambled egg with poly vi sol! Thank yo so much!
Hi Chicken peeps! For about a week my 1 1/2 year old Easter Egger has been laying very soft shelled eggs, the others will eat them immediately if I am not right there any suggestions? Pic below
Quick question chicken peeps :
2 of my hens wear aprons because of the Rooster, they are in full molt mode, should I remove the aprons? there are quite a few new feathers coming in under them, will it cause a problem? Don't want to hinder the growth!!
Thanks so very much
Patti
Thank you!
She is having very loose stools, that is why I bathed her. I will try to get a sample in to my vet in the morning. We live in a very rural area, he is a large animal vet but, perhaps he can still do a stool sample for worms. I raise goats so I do have safeguard wormer available...
Hello chicken people!
I have a 2 year old Orpington that's comb is very very pale, this is what I have tried- probiotic in water, sprayed down with Poultry Protector 2 times in 7 days, bathed and dusted with diatomaceous earth 2 times in seven days. I have put her in a separate pen and offered...
I have a Orpington hen with a broken middle toe? It's bent to the side, looks to be at the joint? She is limping and holding her foot up and unable to perch.
Should this be taped? Never had this problem, she must have gotten it caught on something, she does allow me to straighten it but, ot goes...
Have a 1 year old Orpington with runny diarrhea, I noticed some on her egg yesterday and her whole rear area is covered this morning. Eating normally, no signs on any of the other 5 hens. They free range during the day and are put up at night. Never had a worm problem, and don't see anything in...
THANK YOU! As you all can probably guess, I'm fairly new at the chicken thing LOL I actually thought I had a chicken that was having 'gender issues' !!!
For Sale tomorrow!!! Thanks again to everyone who replied
This 'Buff Orpington' was purchased in June with several other hens (?), as you can see by the pic's she is HUGE, bigger than my Red Roo. She? is chest bumping all the others, and picking on everyone, including me, doing the circling when I feed and pecking at my feet and legs! No side spurs...
