Hi there, i have a 3 mo old RIR rooster who was hobbling about starting this past Saturday. I have confined him, put him in a hicken sling but he will not stay in there long, and put him in a container for 2 days where he had food and water easily accessible to him. He will stand sometimes and...
My 3 mo old rooster is hobbling with a broken leg or foot. I cannot see any breaks anywhere. There is no swelling. It happened yesterday. He doesn't grab my fingers with his toes with the hurt foot. He can move the hip area and use the knee area to hobble about to his food and water but...
Hi there.
Ive been dealing with my hen Goldie for fowl pox which affected one of her eyes. Ive been puting on eye ointments to keep the scab on her eye not as irritating then it eventually came off which then i thought would allow her eye to open. Now the bottom eyelid can open and close but er...
I didn't mean a very tall ladder, i just meant something to give them to roost on so they can spread out. 4 ft tall is fine if they have several places to roost if you're getting fifty chickens. I was just mentioning more room so your birds don't fight and are healthy if they are going to be...
You may have some fighting with your hens being in such a confined space for that many. If you can put some sort ladder type thing inside so they can perch, it would give them more room and will be off the ground so safer as well.
Thanks for all the help! Iv been meaning to post back. She started eating on her own. I crumbled up dried meal worms In my hand and she ate them. I think they were too big for her to eat prior to Wednesday afternoon. She then started eating crumble out of their feeder in their coop. :D She's...
I haven't given her any antibiotics either. The wound is not red at all... do you think I should give her some? I have put neosporine on her wound. Its hard to see it clearly with all her feathers. I will post a pick
Lol that's good name! Good to hear she's back to herself again. I can't get her to eat anything solid right now.. she acts interested in dried meal worms and scratch but doesn't actually eat it. She also is swollen on her neck, her left side. She can't move it hardly. I felt it and its hard like...
Hi I have read your thread on here and am wondering if your chicken got better. I have a chicken that was also injured in the lower neck area and I cannot for the life of me get her to eat or drink. It's been 5 days now and I'm getting even more worried about her. She's walking around some but...
