I just found a hen with flystrike yesterday. She was hiding in the coop and I noticed her butt was pasty and took a closer look and there were maggots on her butt. I washed off her butt with soap and water and then syringed hydrogen peroxide and then saline on the wound. This morning it is...
I took her outside for a bit to see if she wanted to scratch around, but I think she was away long enough for the other hens to want to reestablish pecking order.
The 2 top hens jumped on her and started pecking at her head, so I picked her up and put her back inside for now as it is also in the...
Hello fellow chicken people, I would love if I could get a little input and suggestions on my situation and it is a little long-winded, so my apologies for that. I purchased some chicks from a co-op about 2 years ago and little did I know that this particular co-op had chicks from a crappy...
I have known the BF at LEAST... 3 months... he seems like he really cares... he talks to me every night.... drives quite a ways to see me each week... he tells me he loves me all the time and he makes me happier than I have been in a long time... I have never really been this comfortable with...
I am almost 20 years old and attending a community college. Tommorow I am going to visit someone and see if their place is a nice home for my chickens... I need to find them a new home because I sadly have not been caring for them as much as they deserve and I my have to find a new home myself...

After the trip to the vet, and after she settled in, she started pooping quite a bit. Normal poo and she has been eating some more. Not much of a change. I think I am going to give PenG a try. It is weird, but she seems to be doing extra preening today...
That did not help at ALL!!!!!! The only thing that could help is that she withdrew some brownish stinky liquid, with particles from her abdomen, which was by the way $50.00! I could have gotten the stool sample results for an additional fee, but I only had $50.00 She withdrew 1cc of this liquid...
