What was the result of your chicken? I took mine in today to see the vet....same diagnosis.

Ok so my girl has not been eating right for 3 weeks now, and she has been under a vets care for 1 week now. At first, we gave her fluids, did a fecal test which came back normal, and gave her a shot of ivermectin. Brought her back today and put her under for an X-ray......Vet says she has a...

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HEN. I took mine in today and the vet said the same thing....

Hi! She is a Rhode Island red and is smaller than the others too and has always been, maybe a runt? Her droppings which I looked at today, are small and rough in texture-like there are pieces of grass in them. My girls free range daily as well. I looked thru her poop and did not see any worms or...

So really....no one has any advice or suggestions??

Yes, she eats an organic omega 3 feed which I buy from the Poultry store and I also mix oyster shell pellets in with their chicken feed.

As the title says, my sweet girl is not eating as much as she used to, her crop no longer feels full ever, she is napping often and she's 8 months old and hasn't laid an egg yet. I have had her since almost birth, her umbilical cord was still attached, and she is super people friendly. I treat...

I have one that seems like a bully…..they others will just be laying in the sun or having a dirt bath and she runs up to them and starts pecking them in the head, hard. Should i punish her by isolation? If I remove her will it continue to happen every time I add her back in?

What happened with this horse????

Sorry about your Silkie Cheeseball. I know how it feels to loose one to a hawk. :( And yes, crows are great to keep around, but the crows just annoy the hawk, the hawk will still attack your chickens when given the chance no matter how many crows are around. I have sometimes 50 plus crows...

What happened with the poor chicken? Update?

For anyone who says that possums are just a nuances, they are scavengers, just go after the eggs, etc you are wrong. We had a possum break into our coop and attack 2 of our 6 chickens. One is fine, the other, a silkie, is probably going to die. We scared him off (we live in a residential area)...

Thank you for the suggestions. I ordered this air gun which says it's acceptable for shooting small animals. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002J1OZ8G/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also left 6 lights on around the house last night and he didn't come back! Still didn't get much...

Tala- did all your birds survive? I am thinking about using it to kill a opossum, leaving it out just at night.

Ok....so I have lost almost both of my silkies to predators within 6 weeks. My first one was attacked by a hawk and had it's head ripped off, and last night, we came home from dinner and a movie to find a opossum inside the coop attacking my girls, one of my Americanas just got some feathers...

Haha Bear Foot farm! I love it! If only I were not in a residential area.....

Oh darn.....thank you for looking though. I appreciate it. It seems that they either have a respitory infection or coryza (because of the stinky face) but from what I have read you should treat respitory infections with duramycin and the coryza with sulfa. Wondering if I can give them both just...

Hi! I have an original flock of 4 month olds and recently added 2 americanas that are supposed to be around a year (my bf choice, not mine-he wanted eggs asap, I wanted to raise them) and have had them for about a month now. I have noticed that one of the new americanas always has a runny nose...

Ibejaran- Ahhh, I like your pics too! I totally agree with your last statement- it's the special ones that make it worth it. I never thought I'd love a chicken, ha! But when you get a special one, how can you not?
