Thanks for the quick response! Is there anything I should do to help her heal or should I just wait for it to heal by itself?

Hi BYC! Today, I bathed my hen in preparation for a county fair and I noticed that she had a purple bruise just outside her vent area. My flock includes 4 hens total and I don't own any roosters. Please let me know if you know what is wrong with her or if you have any advice. I've attached a...

Thank you both for the advice! She is doing a lot better today. She is eating and drinking. I think the VetRx helped a lot!! :)

Hi BYC! My hen is making weird head-bobbing motions and her mouth is open a lot. She has clear throwup on her beard. She also makes small nasally noises like she has a stuffy nose. Attached are some pictures and a video. Is there anything I should do? I put VetRX on her and I put it in her...

Thanks everyone for asking, but the chicken did not make it. My friend was too scared to push it back in and the vet ended up euthanizing her.

Thank you so much!!

Hi BYC! Please help!! My friend's buff orphington's vent is bleeding and she thinks her chicken has an egg stuck in her. Her depth of abdomen isn't hard. The chicken's comb is red, but floppy and her eyes are dilated looking. Please let me know what I can do to help her. Also please let me know...

It's now the third week, and our hen still can't walk. The mites are gone and she's able to stand on the left leg, but her right leg is now tucked in and her toes are curled. She tries to bring her right leg down occasionally, but it's very shaky. As mentioned earlier, there doesn't seem to be...

Thank you, Chkn, for your suggestions. No scabs around her "knee" and no indication on anything broken. We''ll just have to wait and see. She resting in box with food and water.

We discovered tons of mites on our hen and she started to limp. She was also very lethargic. We took her to vet and the doctor said she was not egg bound. The vet said she was very weak and recommended increasing her calcium in her diet. She has been on antibiotics and pain medicine for the...

I've been trying to re-home three 4 month old cockerels (Belgian Bearded d'Anvers - show quality) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not much luck since most cities don't allow roosters. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any 4-Hers out there that need show quality birds and can place the roosters...

NHN, your descrption is exactly what happened to our bantam. We tried a few times and I finally videotaped it. We are going to return the collar and share the video if they want to see it.

Available for purchase ($10 each) show quality bantam Belgian Bearded d'Anver cockerels. We have three cockerels: Dun Quail, Blue Quail, and Self Blue (Lavender). They are almost 4 months old. They were hatched on April 25, 2014 and eggs came from a NPIP certified breeder. Unfortunately, we...

Hello You can check the Buy, Sell, Trade section of BYC. Also if you have any local shows coming up that is another great way to find breeders.

My hens aren't laying right now, zero today

Hello I would say bantam chickens are the best for kids. They are smaller which makes them easier to take care of and hold.

P.S. i am only familiar with chickens sorry

Hello! If you're trying to make profit i would recommend purchasing a show quality dual purpose bird such as a Buff Orpington, Plymouth Rock, Brahma, etc. 1. You can make money from winning shows. 2. You can make money from selling eggs. 3. You can make money from the meat. hope this helps.

hello! i hatched recently and discovered their sex when they were around 2 1/2 months old. hope this helps.

After reading many reviews on BYC and elsewhere, I bought this incubator as part of my daughter's 4-H project. Overall, it is very easy to setup and use. The temperature was spot on throughout the entire process. The humidity was great until the lock down. We struggled with maintaining it...
