She's doing really great! She's moving around and scratching the bedding in her carrier. She seems perfectly normal. We are going to keep her inside for a couple more days and let her build up her strength, but she is definately practically back to normal. What could have been wrong with her...
Lacy seems to be doing much much better. We ran some errands today and came home to find her moving aroung the carrier and eating and drinking on her own. She is still falling asleep while eating, but seems to be more alert and happier. Hopefully this keeps up. I have no idea what could have...
I have never had the girls wormed, I honestly didnt know you had to until all of this, the friends I have don't. Should I try deworming her while she's sick? As far as mites and lice, I have looked all through her feathers and everything, I haven't found any and her skin looks good. She is...
She went right back to how she was, she has been sleeping most of the day. We keep waking her up to eat and she is eating her feed and still pooping, but she is just so lethargic. I dont know what to do :o(
I added some honey and yogurt ( all natural of course) to her oatmeal and tried giving that to her before we went out to try and get some of the things you suggested. (We dont have allot of eggs right now, as the girls arent laying) and she seemed to perk right up, loving every minute of it...
I would put an add on craigs list and list him as a "pet only". I dont know where you live, but up in the heldebergs NY there is a guy who will take chickens, male or female, off anyones hands and keeps a huge flock of mixed chickens as pets. Occassionally in my area I do see listings for pet...
I never got back to everyone about the chicks! All but one ended up being boys! Lucky for me I brought them back to the stable and traded them out for a little girl and a hen who was already laying. When ginger gets done molting I'll post a pi. They were most definately EE's one lays blue eggs...
Last night we came home and found my favorite girl lying in the corner of the coop, face down, with her best friend lying with her. She was cold and didnt have any balance. She also seemed lighter in weight than she has been (maybe just my imagination). We brought her into the house and were...
I have 3 girls, one is a bit older and was laying at her old home and the other 2 i raised from chicks. I got 6 eggs, one a day for 6 days. I am guessing they are from the older hen, but now, nothing. The other 2 havent layed at all as far as i know. They have a nesting box all the food they...
Ok, the kids have gotten a little bigger, I'm not really sure how long till I can tell which are pullets and which are cockrels. I thought I would trow up some pics and see if anyone could tell.
I was guessing boy, named him george
George again
This is Maude.
This is Gertie, landing on...
I'm Italian so Christmas eve is 12 fishes including bakala (sp?) Every year I make cookies. Lots of cookies, and I only give out handmade gifts. Unfortunately due to my job, I often work on the actual holidays themselves, but we all get together on the weekends. This year I am working hoth...
I brought these chicks back from the stable I go to and have no idea what they are or what sex they are. I think they are some kind of bantams because the mother hen was, but she's been known to hatch other chicken eggs.
