    New Chickens and NO Aggression (?!)

    You are right, it was an emergency situation and we both did our best to minimize the risk. It's not ideal for sure. Of all her chicken friends she trusted me with them so I was honored and happy to help :) I only have experience with introducing one other time and it was a mass of chest...

    New Chickens and NO Aggression (?!)

    I am babysitting 6 of my friends chickens for a few months while she deals with a fox situation. They are all very healthy, well-kept birds, no parasites, as are my 4. They were all treated with "Flock Protect" and the coop was cleaned out, new sand, shavings and hay and dusted with DE prior to...

    I'm so sorry for your losses by the way. It's so hard to love these fragile little buggers :(

    One dead, one dying, one missing..

    Where did you find the missing one, had he gotten out of the stall? (Sorry, I need to piece a few things together, I'm not quite understanding the scenario). The stall with the chicken wire, was it over them so they couldn't fly out? Were they in a cage of chicken wire? Were any of them acting...

    Weak Egg History now Suddenly Change in Behavior

    Thank you so much for the reply. I thought maybe worms. I just noticed her getting her head pecked by the others. So sad that they do that when one doesn't feel good :(

    Weak Egg History now Suddenly Change in Behavior

    I've been noticing weak and spotted/deformed eggs in the nesting box for a couple of weeks. I have 4 chickens: An Americauna who lays BIG green healthy eggs, a Brahma who lays little round eggs and an Australorp and Orpington who lay the same kind of normal brown eggs. I have been getting very...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    She's at the vet in grave condition. Her crop is completely blocked, she's lost a ton of weight, her heart rate is 420 and she's severely dehydrated. They are doing a "preservation therapy" on her right now to make her strong enough to surgically unblock her crop. :*{

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Her crop is hard as a rock today and she's not eating. I can't get the medicine into her but she is super active.

    Hole in beak

    Then maybe a virus or a parasite of some sort? Like a worm? I love that they hatched together.

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    sour crop is a fungal infection so the Monostat actually cures the infection. I guess the vegetable oil in it would be a bonus.

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Day 1 Notes: This morning she wouldn't even come off the roosting bar. I brought her in the house and started to try and force the 1/3 suppository into her mouth. She surprised the heck out of me by eating it on her own. So I gave her another 1/3. I figure if a 1/3 is good, 2/3 is better...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Yes, she has only had one dose. I will wait until tomorrow and if there is no improvement I will bring her in. She loved the egg and olive oil treat and hasn't thrown it up which is an improvement. After her morning crop massage she pooped a little. She is walking around just a little bit more...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    How long does it typically take? I'm wondering if I should take her to the vet at this point. She is just standing here with her eyes closed.

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    also should add, I cooked an egg with a bunch of olive oil and she is gobbling that up. Poor thing is so hungry :( I hope she keeps it down. Her crop is so huge.

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    My very sick Brahma just ate half the suppository on her own! She is so sick I am tempted to give her the entire thing. She is not moving at all today. Sleeping on my kitchen floor :( Praying this works!!!

    Impacted Crop-Need Advice

    Thank you. I was able to get a couple of droppers of baking soda water into her. She didn't like it very much. Thankfully she still has the tip off of top beak so administering things from a dropper is a breeze. I will not try to vomit her. Everything I've read about it says it's dangerous and I...

    Impacted Crop-Need Advice

    My 11 month old Brahma has a badly impacted crop. I have her in the house and am frequently massaging it in hopes of breaking it up. She has an awful smell coming from her nose and especially when I am working the mass. My question is, about a half an hour or so after a massage, she poops a big...

    Hole in beak

    rubbing on a wire fence would've caused line-like worn marks on the beaks. This is clearly a hole. I'm dumbfounded by this. I've never heard of a such a thing. I'm wondering if someone in your flock was pecking at them relentlessly??
