Ok will do. It's isolated now. I noticed some other chicks breathing with their beaks slightly opened just for a moment then they went back to normal so I don't know if I'm being overly paranoid now or if they're picking it up too. I will keep a close eye on all. Will medicate tomorrow. I think...

Just my luck. I've been doing research today but it's hard without knowing specifically what they have. I just can't figure out how it would have gotten it. I did purchase some chicks from an NPIP certified breeder locally who had vaccinated for Mareks, ILT, and something else but she said they...

I have a chick that's almost 2 months old. It's in a brooder with several others of roughly the same age. Today I noticed that this one chick was laying in the corner. I picked it up and could hear wheezing when it breathed. Both eyes have a small amount of discharge and there is a small amount...

LOL she's saying "get this side! This is my good side!" :)

Your chickens and goslings are so cute! I love Wyandottes, yours are beautiful! They look happy. :)

Of course I'm going to tell you they're doing wonderfully. I didn't want to get involved with someone like you on a great site like this. There are better, more professional places to do so. It's easier to tell you they're fine than get into detail about how they're sick and to publically shame...

Thank you for your feedback on this. I switched them to Flock Raiser and they did very well after that. I had been misinformed by the seller about the type of feed they should be started on. They have since become fully feathered and have been released into our pond with our other ducks where...

That is so sad! I saw your post on the local thread and I sent you a PM. The lady you bought that rooster from is a seller and frequenter on BYC. As I said in my post on the other thread, I, too have had 2 birds I purchased from her suffer only to have to be culled. Good luck with him. He's...

I, too, bought BBS Orpington chicks in response to that very same ad. Thankfully I quarantined them before introducing them to my flock because they ended up being very sick and I had to cull them. They looked 'off' when I bought them but I was told 'it's just because they're young. Those...

Another batch is up for grabs! :)

I sure hope that's the case, lol! I hatched some Lavender and black splits (and got one pure white from them too (gah!!)) a month later and all of them have muffs, beards, and proper leg coloring. It's just so strange that these 2 older ones don't. I'll just keep an eye on their growth and see...

Quick question for the experienced/knowledgeable Ameraucana breeders out there! 2 months ago I hatched out 3 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas. I purchased the eggs from a breeder locally who also sells her eggs on the BST thread as purebred W/BW Ameraucanas. Now (2 months after hatching) 2 of...

This is a BIN: 6 WELSUMMER hatching eggs + 6 EASTER EGGER hatching eggs for a total of 12 eggs PLUS any extras that are laid. $15 plus $18 shipping. You MAY very well get a dozen Easter Eggers in addition to the Welsummers, it just depends on how well they lay for the next few days. I've been...

Ok so I should be safe to post then. I know the other auction thread requires like 6 months and 250 posts. I'm glad this one doesn't lol. Thanks for your reply! :)

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this question. If not, please kindly redirect me. :) Is there a minimum number of posts or months you've been a member to post and auction or BIN on the New Crazy 24 hour Auction thread? I have around 200 (I think I'm close!) but only 4-ish months as a...

I think I tend to let my sick ones live (suffer) a bit longer than they should but I just hate giving up on a life you know? :) You are exactly right though, it is gonna happen anyway and we have the chance to make it painless and end the suffering. I have 2 rescue puppies that we have given a...

There was no struggling at all. It seemed very fast even when I did it to a full sized chicken in a styrofoam cooler. Neither of them struggled at all. It's my go to method should I ever have to do it again. I hate having to do it though. I get too attached.

I, unfortunately, had to do this very thing to a chick with the same symptoms as yours. I found the easiest and most humane way to do it is go to your local auto parts store and buy a can of starter fluid-it has ether in it. Spray a couple paper towels thoroughly saturating them. Put the towels...

DON'T PUT HER DOWN! It may take a few times putting it back in for it to stay. She should naturally stop laying eggs for a bit. You can confine her to a large cage or pen to minimize her activity and keep her separate from other chickens who may peck at the prolapse. Google this first but I've...
