I thought my rhode Island red by now would have passed but she is still walking around with her head down. I have tried everything to help her. her abdomen is swollen. I drained it soaked her in warm baths. check for egg inside. gave her antibiotic. When do you say it's time to put her down?
Hello all. I am so upset. We have 2 hens and 1 will be put down tonight. They are inseparable. BFF"S. Now my large Barred rock "Monster"will be alone and I'm assuming very sad. She does everything with Red by her side. Now what? Can I put her with my 5 bantam hens? They have never been...
Thank you for the updates. I wanted to know if you can tell me how you know its a pullet? I'm learning as I go along. I thought those were hackle feathers coming down the sides of her by the tail??? Is she a specific splash polish? I can't find any phots that look like her.
Can't find where I should post the pictures??? Did get to read a lot about them though. 1 thread said that they just stand in the rain and don't even try to get shelter, so you have to go out and put them in the coop. Really?
Are these pic's ok? It's amazing how hard it is to take a picture of a chicken. She just keep moving and turning and running. Had to bribe her with some spinach.
