Thank you so much for the suggestion. I also had a feeling it could be that. What do you think her chances of pulling through are if it is New Castles?
Hey there,
So I have a flock of 5 six month old hens. One started limping the other day, we thought maybe she'd flew off the coop and landed wrong. Then the next day she couldn't walk at all. The day after that she wouldn't come out of the coop and looked horrible. For the last 3 days I've...
This is extremely good info thank you. I think you're right about the Marek's. As I do more research it seems that way. She is leaving her left left out when she lays down, but I thought maybe it was because she was hurting. I'll keep an eye on her and do some of the things you suggested. I...
I have about a 6 month old hen who is not laying yet. Two days ago I noticed she was limping when she walked. I picked her up, inspected her for a foot injury of any kind and she looked fine. Then yesterday I noticed while limping she was losing her balance pretty badly every so often and not...
Very good advice, thank you. She's very very sweet, and although I don't know for sure.. I'm hoping she won't be too dominant. She was pretty broody last month, hopefully she will think she hatched a clutch overnight lolol
The other night a coyote got into the coop and ate all but my one sweet little bantam. This was my first flock and the loss is more than devastating. But! We do have one left who last night slept in a dog kennel. She's so lonely. She calls for her sisters when we go back outside for a little...
SOO.. We have 4 ladies now that are about a year and half old. Very healthy, they have yogurt every day. We are "inheriting" 4 additional ladies tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous as my current flock is my first. I've read a lot about quarantining.. I've read a lot about flock dynamics.. Are there...
Hello friends for a few weeks I noticed ones of my hen's (red sex link) comb sort of falling over. Other than the comb she has been fine. Today I noticed that she is scratching the water out of the waterer and when the drops hit the ground and bead up she drinks it like she's in the desert...

This was all he would let me get.
But just to clarify, he has only been doing what I'm calling a "half crow" for about 2 weeks. I should probably call it a honk, as it isn't a very long sound. I noticed that the other of his breed also has a long crown on top, and is larger. As I'm...
OK now you guys have me wondering about my other ones!! Here are pictures of all of them. Any advice as to which are or could be roos would be greatly appreciated
So about four months ago we got 6 baby chicks. Now their feathers are in and personalities are out!! But there is one.... Coincidentally, we named her Rodrigo when we got her and lately her antics are pushing me to believe it was a fitting name!!
We had them inside the house in our sunroom up...
