I am attempting to attach a photo of my Brahma boy and am receiving a you do not have permission to create attachments message. How can I receive permission to send attachments again?

Hello, My Brahma boy had an injury to his top beak that left the tip broken off last season. Today we found him with the top beak partially off just about halfway and partially attached on the right side. He was not involved in any fights as he has his own private coop and is alone in his run...

Hi, My 9 month old Partridge Rock did not look this way 2 days ago. Only her left eye has this problem. She is recovering from a sprained left leg after which she was attacked by the flock and loss the majority of her neck and back feathers and received some nasty cuts and bruises. She was...

Hello, It is a relief to see much improvement in Lizzie and Missy, my set of partridge rocks. They both seem to have been injured by coop mates. I was able to take Lizzie out for a bit of sun and green nibbling today. She is standing and walking with a quick adjustment to what seems to be...

Good Morning, Would you have any idea what else it could be? If she was injured I did not see it, she was fine when she went in Saturday evening. Yesterday while making my daily inspection I saw the swollen eye. She has no other symptoms, is running around eating and drinking and seems...

Hi, I do live in a warm climate but during the winter we range between 16 and 40 degrees. Have not had mosquito problems so far, but they will be flying in the spring. I will chick this sight. The hen with the clear discharge did not have anything in her mouth last week when I opened her beak...

Hi, I have this site but do not believe it is sour crop because she is eating normally and her poop is back to the large round form she had before the drip from the beak. Crop is flat each morning nothing to massage in there and no other symptoms. I believe it could be one of the respiratory...

Hi, Well after a couple days of not seeing the dripping beak, today it's back. I searched the site you attached but don't know which condition my Americana is suffering from. I will remove her again today to the chick hospital. What can I give her to help with this drip? Other than the drip...

Good Morning, Thanks for the additional information. I also believe she'd been attacked because of the way the missing feather pattern took. Seems she was down on her belly with her head down when she was pecked and plucked of her back feathers. She's safe now and cozy now that we're here to...

Thank you so much for the reply. I do have save a chick electrolytes and probiotics in her waterer. I also have buttermilk, girls love it. Could she also be molting? Today she has even less feathers than when we put her in the chick hospital yesterday. She is standing and moving upright as...

This 8 month old hen looked like this top photo on 2/4/14, photos below shows her on yesterday 2/8 after returning from a 2 day trip. We found her squatting at the coop door. When opened she jumped to the ground after limping to get out of the coop. Once on the ground she limped favoring her...

Hello All, Happy to announce my American is drip free and back with the flock as happy as she can be! Eating drinking and scratching with the best of them. I had read horror stories of the flock rejecting hens kept away from the others. I was relieved after letting her walk in the garden...

Hello, My 7 month old Americana hen started moving slowly, separating herself from the flock, not eating or drinking. She has a clear slimy fluid dripping from her beak, crop is flat, no sores in the mouth, no lumps any place on the body. We have removed her from the flock, today is day 3...

Hello, I am reading posts concerning worming chickens and am overwhelmed at this point as a new chicken owner. We have twenty-six 7 month old chickens, we lost 1 Sussex hen last week due to what may have been worms combined with impacted/sour crop that was not found right away. She originally...

Hello, I found your thread re: monistat and as yourself we are rural and I have been able to find the same one you used. I lost 1 hen last week due to a hard impacted crop that we did not find early enough. Week 3 we massaged, gave olive oil and got her to vomit quite a lot of dark green to...

Thank you, I am learning to use the forum and did not realize I posted in the wrong area. I will figure out how to re post.

Hi P Wand and others on the forum, Turns out we did not have a prolapse, thank God! We got the rear end cleaned up and back to a healthy pink color minus a few feathers. Checked her crop and it was very hard, a little bigger than a baseball yesterday. She has been like this to some extent...
