This poor thing just doesn't get better. Any ideas what is wrong with her and what she needs to get well?

It has been several years since I raised baby chicks, now I remember why! I am trying to find information on raising them and forgot how to navigate BYC. HELP Susie

I have 4 chickens ages 3-4. Two have had sneezes or coughs constantly for 8 months. I have tried the Vita cure, now one of them has red neck with no feathers on the neck. Any helpful advise?

Over the past year, I have lost several chickens. They slowly lose interest in eating, slowing down and don't keep up with the flock. Then they are eventually found dead. We treat for parasite. Their diet is Egg Layers, scratch and table scrapes, giving them garlic now. Hope you can help.

My chicken has green diarrhea, no smell. I don't think she has Merck's as there is no paralysis. The eats little but losing weight sand strength fast. I don't know if we have worms in Colorado that might affect the chickens. My other chickens are okay but I have separated the sick one. Any...

Hi, my chicken has grean diarrhea, there is no paralysis, is eating a little and of course losing weight and strength. I tried giving her tetracycline but still unclear what I should do. I don't think we have worms in Colorado. the other 7 chickens are okay but I decided to separate the sick...

I would love to find some turkey eggs but turkeys are busy with Thanksgiving! Any ideas? 80206

My chicken began molting about a week ago. I know this is a natural process but it doesn't make sense for her to be doing this when the temperatures are dropping and our first snow storm is hitting the mountains ( I'm in Colorado). I lined the chicken's sleeping area with plenty of straw but...

Smokey was one of four chicks that I originally got 18 months ago. "Lil Guyrl" as I fondly call her has survived a chicken coop fire, lose of her best mattie, "Flame" and the loss of most of the flock to one disease or another, probably "Mericks. She molted about 2 months ago and still...

She needs to be isolated I a very small cage so she can't move around, feed lots of protein and keep quiet for 3 weeks, no kidding! The leg has to heal up. Be patient, it works.

Please help. My Leghorn has dark on her face as if frostbite. I have read the posts on ventilation but before that I had sealed off the coop as it has been from -5 to 13 degrees the last few days. She had not developed her comb yet and it looks fine. I upset my husband by rushing the chickens...

We've suffered with lice, probably lost one or two hens before I knew what it was. My chicken, recouping indoors with a broken leg is having a real rough time with them now ( in fact I plan to wash her tomorrow). The "girls" outside don't seem to be having any trouble with them. Here in...

It appears that she tried to walk on it before I got to her. The bone doesn't show but the skin is broken slightly around the break. We removed yesterday's bandage and I put some peroxide on it and re-splinted it by bending a small piece of cardord along the ribs and binding it around the leg...

Yes, I've had a broken bone. The girl's leg is definitely broken. I splinted it right away, good ole First Aid has come in handy. But I have to remove the splint to make sure it is not infected, I'll wait another 30 hours.

Hey, Thanks!

Haha. The skin seemed cut as if she had gotten her leg stuck. I thought I wound carefully remove the little bandage in a day or two!!?

Okay, thanks, I will get a smaller cage and create the environment you suggest. Some of the scales on her lower leg where pulled off. I applied some antibiotic under the gauze. What kind of protein do you suggest? Dairy or beef or protein powder?

Dang, my 6 month old Leghorn has a broken leg. I bound it with gauze and then plastic tape to stabilize it. I have isolated her in an indoor cage with food and water and a wide perch. She is not yet an egg layer and has had access to oyster shell. I am hoping the leg will heal and she will be...

Hello, thanks for the info. She had white around the shafts if her feathers (couple of months). I did treat her with Garden Poultry Dust. Her little face was pale. She also appeared to be molting. She was very cold the last few days, couldn't seem to warm up even when I put her inside by a...

Treated my little Golden Egyptian fayoumis Bantam for mites as she was pecking at her feathers. I treated her with Garden and Poultry dust, but a few days ago she appeared cold and just sat in one place. I brought her into a cage near a heater and kept a close eye on her. She soon lost her...
