Hi! I'm actually doing quite well, don't think I'm big enough yet to be miserable.:) I've always preferred being hot though.
The hen is actually normal, a little feather pooped out of that spot so I wonder if the white thing under the skin are feather shafts that aren't pointed straight..??
I...
Thanks for your reply, I'll try Facebook. She is a year old. It feels hard, at first I thought it was a worm but it has something sticking out of it (which I'm starting to think might be a feather popping out). The area isn't swollen or painful. My other girls all got dunked yesterday too but...
I posted this in the emergency thread but no responses so I thought I'd check here. I had a hen with a poopy butt so I thought I'd wash her today since it was so hot anyway. This is what I found under her vent. Most of the feathers were trimmed back in the winter so it's pretty easy to see...
I gave one of my girls a half bath bc she had poop all over her butt. I cut the feathers in the winter but it didn't help much. This is the first time I've done it so maybe this is normal but what is that white thing under her vent? Belly button? It's white, looks like a worm and has something...
I wormed my girls last week, it's been raining none stop all of June and poop was looking funny so I added safegaurd to their water as a precautionary. Two days later my 10wk old bantam wasn't eating and was acting lathargic and had some orange poop. I was worried about cocci so I started corid...
Pulled an egg out of the box today and it was bloody. Everyone is acting normal and I know who laid this one, she's a year old EE. I searched on here and people said occasionally a blood vessel will break and its normal. Anyone have this happen?
Need to mention I started corid, today is day...
Just thought I'd share :) last year when these ladies were chicks, Apollo (the dog) would run and hide when I brought them out. I think the chirping bothered him, thankfully he's gotten over it!
Welcome new members!! I'm on my phone so I can't get that cute little dancing guy with the sign! :)
I'm from the western burbs of Chicago and have a small flock of 6, but the little roo will be leaving as soon as his girlfriend integrates with the older girls (they are only about 8 weeks)...
I posted this on the Indiana thread too. My 6 week old black bantam cochins have started to crow so I have no doubt they are roos! 1 frizzle, 1 smooth coat. I can't keep them so if you're interested, PM me:)
Well these little boys have started to crow! Unfortunately they have to go as I can't have roos where I live. 6weeks old, from @ellymayRans gorgeous birds. Black Bantam Cochin.
I'm willing to meet you up to an hour from 60559 if anyone is interested. PM me :)
Edited BC I haven't had my...
