    Permanently Broody Hen --PLEASE HELP

    thanks for replying, I'm glad to hear Hawkeye did snap out of it eventually, that gives me hope! Bonny is 2 1/2 & she's never been properly broody before. I was given her at 6mths by a breeder because she had a cataract & couldn't be sold but was too sweet & cuddly not to save. Her eye became...

    Permanently Broody Hen --PLEASE HELP

    Hi, I know this is a very old thread but if you're still around doodledoo, I'd be interested to know what happened to broody Hawkeye? Did she eventually give up? I have a 2 y/o brahma, Bonny, who has been firmly broody since early July, every time I think she's loosing interest she starts up...

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    Gosh I'd forgotten about that! Yes the chicks were fine, they didn't get ill, there was no more blood and they grew up into lovely healthy chooks! So I don't know what caused the blood, perhaps that chick ate a sharp stone & it scratched him on the way out or something.

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    No blood this morning & chicks still healthy and active, so a mystery?

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    It was proper fresh red blood, not loads, just a few drops, but not that pinky gel like gut lining that the other chickens sometimes produce in poops overnight.

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    My three 9 week olds free range all day in my garden with my other chickens & sleep in a separate coop at night. This morning when I cleaned their coop I found a poop with red blood in it. This also happened a couple of weeks ago, just the one time, I kept a close eye on them & decided as they...

    Silkie thread!

    I have a new silkie hen, I'm wondering what colour you would call her, she reminds me of a tabby cat very pretty, it could be she's a cross between colours, what do you think? Partidge?

    Help saw a bug!

    DE is good to put in their dustbaths too. Not sure if you have the same things in US but when my hens had a lice problem I used a drop of Frontline for cats (my vet said it was ok) on them, it worked a treat. I only have a few chickens though, and they are rather spoilt.

    can you help sex my bearded silkie? (15weeks)

    I think it's pretty certain that Mrs Fluffnut is really Mr Fluffnut then. At least he's had a chance for his bleeding tail to mend, his feathers to nearly grow back & his confidence to return some. Soon he can go back to my friend & find some mrs Fluffnuts of his own & I'll try again with...

    can you help sex my bearded silkie? (15weeks)

    Mrs Fluffnut was extremely bouncy & jumpy this morning, almost like a guineapig doing that popcorn thing! I suppose it could be roo behaviour, I'd love her to be a girl but my head is telling me otherwise - those "streamers" are getting more obvious I think.

    can you help sex my bearded silkie? (15weeks)

    Its hard to judge the behaviour as I've never had a silkie before & interacting with a blind friend may be different than usual. She did rear up a bit to Giblet today which made me think...uh oh! but may be just sorting out pecking order. In other breeds I've found the boys more friendly. The...

    can you help sex my bearded silkie? (15weeks)

    You folk seem quite good at this! I'm not positive of the age, maybe 16 wks now. This is Mrs Fluffnut who I was given as a companion to my young blind pullet, Giblet. Mrs F had been bullied & lost alot of feathers on her back & she was very nervous. She's recovering well, growing in confidence &...

    bantam brahma girl or boy

    Really?! I'd love Twinkle to be a hen (I'll have to change the name if she's a boy!) When she/he's being active her comb goes quite pink, and there are some long feathers appearing in that tale, but the head is quite hen-like. hmmm!
