    HELp!!! Prolapse keeps falling out out out - 4 yr old chicken - won't eat, barely moves, what to do

    If you have any help, I would greatly appreciate it. My sweetest chicken, Beatrice, seems to have Prolapse Oviduct. She didn't start laying for the season, then during the past couple of weeks she put out runny eggs (shell-less, or weak shelled) - maybe two or three in total. Until Sunday she...

    Duck with seriously torn webbing -what do I do?l

    Nathalie, Thank you for your extensive advice. In a panic, I searched BYCF and found your succinct and clear list of to-dos. You're a chicken-saver! I have a chicken with a punctured foot (webbing) and am following your tips. She's in our chicken ER (read: basement bathroom) and seems in good...

    First egg this morning! compared to commercial egg I'm pretty sure this is from my Buff Orpington, Madame Crowl By the way, my australorp that I was sure would die during her first days is still alive! Beatrice is smaller than the others and still has neck twitches now-and-then but she...

    itchy head?

    Wynette, I think you may be on to something. She seems to be a bit more bare today than yesterday. She has not had any kicking fits. Today I added a 'bungalow' (another box) to the brooder box and will add another tomorrow, keep extending the space so they have more to do and explore. I'll get...

    itchy head?

    Thank you so much for the unofficial reply as well as the official reply. You've done more any other company by far! Status of the little one seems consistent. She's pecking around, hanging with her peeps. Looks like another tiny feather is coming in on both wings. She's just miniaturized. The...

    itchy head?

    Oh wow! Thank you Windy Ridge. I'm sorry you have a bird emergency. Did it conclude in the best possible way? Thank you for responding -- and outside of work! You are my hero. I got to spend a total of ten minutes with the chicks this weekend but tomorrow will get to monitoring closely...

    itchy head?

    She's eating with the others, seems to follow them around and do what they do -- which is pretty dang good. I can't see any additional damage from kicking. I'm gone pretty much all weekend (this response is made while stuffing my face with breakfast) so I don't know how much kicking has...

    Consider it done. I mean, chin up and whatnot. Thank you so much for being so supportive.

    itchy head?

    Thank you. I'm working on making her comfortable. She's sort of developing, but while the others have lovely wing feathers, she has only one. Either the stress of her disorder is holding her back or there are more things wrong with her. She remains about the same size as when she arrived. Now...

    itchy head?

    Thank you for asking! I sent them almost exactly what I posted here. Yeah, their reply feels like they're covering. Not that I like to think they would do such. Someone emailed me and said it looks like something is in her ears. She had fits for a few hours and now seems okay for the past...

    itchy head?

    Response from MyPetchicken is QUOTE Thanks for writing My Pet Chicken with your concern. I'm so sorry your little baby is sick! I have heard of this before, but I don't know what it is caused by... or what to do about it. My GUESS is that occasionally a little bit of down is growing or...

    itchy head?

    Thank you! I just emailed MPC. She has been eating and drinking. Wednesday she didn't seem be eating and drinking but after I nursed her she got into the swing of it and was pecking food out from under the other two and acting like she was totally fine. Then half a day later this itching...

    itchy head?

    Hi everyone. I got my three chicks from mypetchicken.com on Wednesday. I noticed right away that one of them was smaller and less active (breed: australorp). That little one has trouble. Every few minutes (I haven't set a timer or anything) she goes into a head-scratching fit _slash_ panic...
