I am looking to replace some hatchery hens with true Heritage RIR with the hope to start breeding and egg production. Is there anyone in SC that has these birds. Any info would be a great help. Thanks
Ok I have a bottle of Penone Pro Penicillin. Can I give him this and how much. It said 1 ml per hondred pounds (it was given to me by my vet for one of our dogs). Also where do I give the shot. I have small needles. It was looking better with the neosp. But is starting to get bigger. I want...
currently he live in a "bachelor pad" with 4 other Roo's Will they be hard on him if I remove him and then return him after he heals. Don't want to stress him out
No smell. I have not given antibiotics in water or shot. Wouldn't I have seen other signs if it was respiratory issue by now. It has been about two weeks since this started. didn't see a mark but really didn't think about that to begin with. Where do I get the antibiotics to put in the...
Thanks for the help. Wanted to post a pic. He seems to be doing good. he doesn't keep it shut all the time but the bump seems to cover part of his eye. It is mostly just watery know with a bump at the top of his eye. The first pic was when a few day after I started putting neosporin in it...
With the Neosporin or the other. Can I just rub it over his eye or just around it. This is new to me. No other signs that I see. He just rubs his eye on his side like he is trying to get something off his head. Thanks
I have a young rooster who's eye is lightly matted and a little swollen. Hasn't slowed him down. Still runs around with the others in the group, eating well. Doesn't seem to show any signs of being sick. Thinking he may have been pecked in the eye but not sure. What can I use to help treat his eye
And Yes they are the large fowl Brahmas. I fell in love with them when I saw a very large trio at a sale. They were very big. My three have not gotten that big yet but I think they have some more growing to do.
I didn't think about that until after my discovery last night. I guess that makes since. I don't want to waste the eggs. They are all very young. Thanks for the info.
The other thing I noticed about my rooster is his tail feathers were droupy until he started crowing and starting paying...
I have a trio of Buff Brahmas that are about 6-8 months old. The hens have been laying for about 3-4 weeks. We have seen the roo breeding the hens, and started keeping the eggs to incubate. I have had 7 in the bator for about 2wks when I candled them last night there was nothing. My question...
Update on my Brahma hen. She is still about the same. Seem more like a leg hip problem. Thinking rooster may have hurt her cause of their size. Eating good getting around slow. Started her on vitamins and electro lights hope that will help
I guess you would say it was foamy. I was thinking worms also. I am going today and get wormer for everyone. She has always walked raising her leg higher, but I just notice Wed that her toes would curl under and toes would not land flat. I have only had her 3 wks this sat. I am also going...
I recently got a brahma hen. Did not notice anything until we turned her outside. She was walking funny. She would lift her right leg high to walk then she would hop if she had to go faster than a slow walk. Yesterday I noticed that her toes were curled and would not extend so that her foot...
Just joined. I currently run Golden Oaks Farm and Boarding Kennel. I have always loved chicken but never had anything but just old game/yard chickens. I recently aquired several RIR and am now getting several eggs a day. I also fell in love with the Buff Brahma and Light Brahma breed. I...
