Hi everyone on this cold and snowy Sunday. I have a hen that has a slight coff. Brain freeze so I know missed spelling. She has no running nose. She is eating and drinking. The only things I have is VetRx and vitamin How much of the VetRx do I give her and do I give orally or in water? No...
I don't think it was after chicks but it could have been after another animal. DH found it dead this morning still attached to the electric fence. It had burned it from the inside out. Had a hole burned through it's chest. Better him than my chicks. So having an electric fence does work
When she is broody? It has been about 10 days since my hen went broody. She will set on litter a wire cage bottom or her roost. If I take her outside (she is a house hen about 9 1/2 months Serama) or let her in the house she will eat and drink. If any of the above she will not eat or drink...
I have a serama roo who is 10 weeks old. This week I noticed a faint white/grey spot on his comb. Then his comb is curling over. He does not have mites as I should be able to find them since he is white. Anyone have a clue what is happening?
I have a 9 month old pullet that I am really concerned about. She is my house pet. She started laying on June 30, 2013. She layed an egg every day since then until 3 days ago. She stopped laying but is eating and drinking. She has playtime outside for a couple of hours a day so she gets...
I have 2 8 month old serama pullets. One I have had 5 weeks and one 4 days. I know about the pecking order, but the new one will go across a room to peck my Gabby. I actually got Gracie for Gabby to have a friend. I kept them apart for just the 4 days. Do you think it is just too be together...
My new serama hen has a very loose stool that is really stinky. Not just 1/2 a day, it is every time she goes. I used bene bac for my show rabbits and now I see they have it for birds but does not say chickens. I have the probiotic available for baby chicks. My pullet is 8 mos old. What should I...
This passed Sun Gabby my Serama started doing a fast head twitch and did not think much of it except it has been with her all week. Most of the time it is when I am holding her. I put a towel on my chest and she loves to rock to the point she falls asleep. Today I thought it was me breathing on...
She started it yesterday. Her head will move really fast then a yawn. Her crop has food in it but it is soft and not swollen. I noticed it when I was holding her. She is not thrilled with me. Will stress make her do this?
I have just had her for 1 week. I talked to the breeder and he told me she had never layed an egg. Should I be worried? What should I feed her? Layer or starter/grower? I need any help I can get. I don't want to do anything wrong. Thanks for any help
WHat am I doing wrong? All my babies hate me!!! My Serama is not happy . She is very nervous and will run away. She will not take treats from my hand so no trust there I really need help. Everyone tells me how loving and friendlynSeramas are and I am starting to doubt myself. My baby Silkies do...

Are they the only ones that sleep with their heads tucked in their wing or do the Roos do it too? Sorry for the newbie question. I have 2 /3 is

This is my Grandaughter's little chick, Spunky. We are trying to figure out which Banty this might be. She is super super tame and sweet. She will let anyone hold her. Thanks
