I have a hatchling whose leg is pulled in toward her body and the joint seems swollen. She can't even stand and ends up on her back.
How and can I help her? She also seems to have a herniated umbilical.....poor thing
Well we know for sure it came from the chicken and not a cat. I'm just hoping it's not going to turn into something really bad. Should I do something to treat my birds....I normally don't vaccinat them, or treat their poo area? I just don't want this to happen again
On our homestead we LOVE to hold our chickens and they love to be held. We got new chicks and have been letting our 6 and 10 yr old children hold the chickens. The other day one of the chicks (who really is about 3 months) decided she wanted to put up a fight and she scratched my daughters arm...
