    HELP! circling hen

    Thank you forum friends for your responses. GG went early Tuesday am. I'm so relieved for her...sad for myself. She was a feisty little chicken. My very alpha Chinese Crested, Gracie would try for some of their feed. My other 2 hens would just move away. Not GG man, she'd come running across the...

    HELP! circling hen

    Compost all in containers, no mold in their food that I can detect. I found some info on wry neck. I am going to try the vitamin E and electrolytes also a tiny dose of selenium. It seems there are some merits to this tx, that is if it is wry neck. I had thought to put her down (completely...

    HELP! circling hen

    This is the 3rd occurence and by far the worst. the other 2 times with isolation and close watching, feeding and watering, she pulled through. This time however, It seems much worse. For the last week I have been using a 12 cc syringe to water her. I use glucose sometimes. Sometimes I have even...

    HELP! circling hen

    GG seems to be improving slightly, I have let her out with her 2 coopmates. She is eating and drinking more. She seems to prefer to 'fly' where she wants to go rather than run or walk. She's a funny little bird who doesn't appear to want to give up.

    Cute or not cute - I want your opinions

    x3. My daughter and I have decided someone must love the unlovable. This precious baby would do well in my household, except I'd rather see him with his mommy in Madagascar. My vote, very cute!

    Good brand of treats/what to look for in treats?

    Well...I can tell you are not a bad mommy or you wouldn't want to play with your babies! For treats what worked for me was anything I was eating (though don't limit yourself too much. I'm a vegetarian and chickens are not) put through the food processor to a more small bird friendly size. If...

    Bunny, Martha, and June

    Oh they are so precious...But I have to agree about June/Joe. The others, I don't know. I rescued my 3 as 6 month old pullets. I tried chicks but my (now late) husband had massive allergic response. Mine were also just adorable little fuzzies. Thank you for these pictures.

    5 questions.

    I've been providing "grit" for my 3 hens since day one. When they were all big enough and knew where their nesting was located I began to let them forage. Lo and behold they found my outdoor incense pot filled with somewhat coarse builders sand. I now find them circled around the burner...

    Treat recipes

    I think a treat thread is a great idea! When I make oatmeal for breakfast, I cook enough for my (granted, only 3) hens. Since it's cooked I add some other stuff to it to make it as chicken nutritious as possible. Flax meal, sunflower seeds, raisins, chia, with a little splash of hempseed oil. My...

    Dust Bathing materials?

    My 3 girls found some nice soft fine dirt in the garden up under the eaves of the house, the rain doesn't get at it so it stays pretty fluffy. I add the DE to the dirt. If I just leave a little sprinkling on top they are rather suspicious. (I discovered they don't much care for 'white' stuff) I...
