Thank you so much! I will get some antibiotic cream. I have separated her and put her inside in a large cage. Also put antibiotics in her water. She can hardly see, one eye completely covered and the other slightly open.

Hi there, Please could someone help! I found a chicken that has sores on its face and a few bubbles in its eye. Is it fowl pox? I have attached 2 pics. What can I do to help this poor girl!?

Thank you Ruth! I just did my first prosthesis. :-)

That sounds awful. Sorry, I don't have any advice other then talking to the landlord.

You are not allowed to say that! I'm in denial!

Please could you help me out. I gave a friend 2 chicks and was sure they were pullets. They are 6 weeks old. They are RIR/New Hampshire. Roo or pullet? Pullet

Thanks Michael. Didn't know the breed either.

Please help me out. These 2 are about 6 weeks now. Any ideas?

They are too cute.. Getting so big already! I have a new mommy hen that is worrying me now. She has 2 chicks and started with 4. Doesn't seem protective or motherly towards them either. 1 she definitely killed. The other looked perfect, (as in not pecked) but was dead. She calls them to...

Any idea on the breed? Actually don't know the breed of any of them.

I am not sure if they are too young to tell!

Fantastic! Thank you!

I know the other 2 are Roo's, but I have a feeling that the black one is a hen. What do you think?

Thanks for replying. They all hatched. Some have feathered feet like my brahma's. So cute! Now that it is Spring and 31°c (87.8°F), quite a few of my hens are going broody. 9 hatched yesterday and the day before. Also half feathered feet and one pitch black one like my brahma's hen. Take care

I put it back with mommy & chicks last night. This morning I checked and the hen is oblivious to the new arrival. I am so relieved. The chick however doesn't listen to the hen add well as the others do. Probably because I was the first to attend to it, put it in the spare room bed with the...

So my hen hatched 8 chicks over the last 2 days. She had moved off the nest with her brood and left 4 eggs, 1 was pipping and the other 3 were not fully formed. She got irritated when I tried to get her to attend to the chick in its egg. After 12 hours and no progress, I helped it out, but it...

I wanted to update! 8 chicks have hatched so far and 1 more is on its way. The other 3 or 4 eggs are not chirping. They are adorable. 1 pitch black one there too, must be my brahma's little one. So exciting!

I'll do it tomorrow night. It's already 22h00 this side. Thanks again.

Thank you. I'll do that. If the cranky hen will allow me near her.

He is beautiful!
