    Chicken silently gasping, lethargic...what can I do?

    Well, she has passed... Upon plucking her, we found quite a bit of bruising and some scrapes that we couldnt see before. She must have been injured by something...might have been a dog. But I found no signs of disease so I suppose that's good news for the rest of my flock. I'll still look into...

    Chicken silently gasping, lethargic...what can I do?

    Ok, I don't have her poop, she hasnt pooped since the liquid stuff on the way to the house (somewhere in the grass now) but if I keep feeding her, she might poop again, then I could get it tested...not sure how much longer she will last though. She has started vomiting/drooling a bit. I wouldn't...

    Chicken silently gasping, lethargic...what can I do?

    Thanks for your heplful post! It might be gapeworm, but Im not sure if it is...I swabbed her thoat and found nothing but a little slime, couldn't see anything when I looked either.

    Chick with bump on her head?

    non-anitbotic treatment for a respitroy infection in flock??

    I have heard of using aromatherapy for chickens. A friend of a friend uses essential oils in a diffuser to keep her laying flock healthy and drug-free, quite successfully apparently. Not sure about which ones or how much to use in your case, but it might be worth looking into. Or maybe you...

    Chick with bump on her head?

    I have a mixed heritage breed chick, four weeks old, who developed a strange lump on the back of her head. I noticed it about a week ago, it was bare of fuzz and raised and hard, but normal in colour. Now it looks like it got scraped or something and has some scabs. I'm not sure what it is, if...
