    My hen is s recovering from sour crop but not sure what markers to look for to return her to the flock

    Hi, all! My sweet little Americauna, Baby Girl, came down with sour crop a few days ago. I'm giving her Nystatin, which seems to have taken care of the issue. She still has 2 days of treatment to go, but she still isn't eating very much. I give her probiotic plain yogurt mixed with scrambled...

    2 Chickens Piling on Top of Each Other in Same Laying Box

    Thank you for the advice! I will definitely try to observe more. They seem to do the bullying on the sly... hard to catch sometimes!

    2 Chickens Piling on Top of Each Other in Same Laying Box

    Morning, all! Couple of questions. We discovered a pecking Issue with a couple of hens and dealt with it, however, the 2 that were getting picked on continue to sleep in one of the laying boxes (pile on top of each other) since the 2 known bullies were culled. The egg laying has come to a...

    My chicks just started pulling all of their food out of the feeder

    Good morning! I have chicks that are almost 5 weeks old. They are about to make their maiden voyage to the coop this next week, but I've noticed that they are wasting a majority of their food. We have the basic hanging feeder with slots but it's not hanging, it's just sitting on some bricks...

    Sick chicken... help please.

    I'm sad to say that we ended up euthanizing the poor chicken. It seemed the right thing to do, as she just wasn't getting any better and she appeared to be pretty miserable. Epsom salt bath didn't work, plenty of sunshine and electrolytes didn't work, yogurt eliminated the green diarrhea, but...

    Goat abscess not CLA but I have a question

    Thank you for the tip! We ended up taking her back to the vet. She had a pocket that had not been lanced so they opened it up and drained it. Now we are being super careful about not letting it close back up immediately.

    Goat abscess not CLA but I have a question

    Hi, all. I took my goat to the vet a few days ago and had an abscess lanced and drained. I've followed instructions on care, including warm compresses morning and night. The darn thing scabbed over despite our efforts not to let it and it's filling back up again. Not sure what to do and I'm...

    I have not noticed any swelling or squishiness, but I'll double check. No avian vet here.

    Sick chicken... help please.

    I just checked her vent and she is not egg bound. Looks like the down below her vent is dirty but I see no evidence of diarrhea in the kennel. It does not look like she is eating or drinking,but I could not be certain.

    Sick chicken... help please.

    Will she take to eating eggs out of the coop if I feed her scrambled eggs? I'd keep her with the others but I'm concerned she might be ill. I appreciate the help. Thank you both.

    Sick chicken... help please.

    No, I've not done that. I haven't seen any green eggs in recent times, so maybe that's it. I'll have a look this when we put all of the animals to bed for the night. She is about a year and a half.

    Sick chicken... help please.

    Hi, all. I have an Aracauna that is showing signs of lethargy. For the past few days, she's been keeping to herself and today she seems to be wanting to lay around. When I go to pick her up, rather than bolting from me like usual, she lets me pick her up. I do not feel a bulge where her crop...

    I can't tell if our goat kid newborn is nursing

    Hi, all. We have a new freshener who gave birth to 3 kids yesterday. They all stand just fine and wag their little tails as if they are happy. They are not super energetic and do tend to lay around a lot, but I've seen all of them latch on at least once. I never see the runt (only doe out of...
