Cleaning her eyes with just warm water a couple times a day has worked good! were she had the soars is a little bald but healing fine!!! Also they are gaining weight!
Thank you, they now have perfect poo, and they don't run from me when I approach them now! Just the polish lop had eye crusties, when I cleaned them she had soars there so I don't know how long they were there, but she had tiny crusties again today that I cleaned promptly,i think she enjoys when...
thank you, My suspicion is she was feeding a lot of carrots and maybe scraps or too much veggies, there poo is quite soft and rusty colored, I gave them mostly coastal hay that they ran from at first, and only a little bit of pellet food. Also the mineral block I only let them taste it a little...
Ok so yesterday I got in touch with a woman who had rabbits for sale, 4 of them and she told me the 2 Flemish were small for the breed but they are still kind of young so I wasn't to concerned, so we decided to trade her rabbits for some of my hens. She arrived at my house with the rabbits just...
I have tried everything and what worked for the longest is putting steel wool in the hole and then expanding insulation on top of that! but the rats will make a new route to were they want to go!!!! they sell T-rex traps that are so much better than the wooden mouse traps but im too afraid my...

normally hard and full means they ate good! in the mornings there crops should be empty.now if there crops are still full in the morning before they eat, id be concerned, so check before they eat!!

Cash money some people are not worth wasting time to try and reason with! A lot of my friends don't understand how I can raise rabbits ducks turkeys and pigs also for slaughter. It depends on how you were raised I suppose, but the thing is people need to respect everyones decision on the issue...
if it is just a vitamn deficiency any poultry vit will work! I use poultry drench, if its not vit deficiency I don't know what to do for her. I wish I could help more!
one of my white rock hens did that last year, she was fine other than her legs, she could move them but not stand or walk!! I pourd poultry vitamins down her throat and she was walking around fine in a 1/2 hour. now vitamins in all my waterers are an everyday thing!
if its scaley leg mites you need to smear oil or vasaline on there legs 2 times a week for 2 months! the leg mites only live under the leg scales and the oil will smother them! ALL of your birds need to be treated.
