It's ok!! I missed chick day yesterday and they only had three left! I figured what the hey? So I got the last three. Astrolop? Or maybe barred rock since there is light colors too?
My son wanted an animal for his room. My husband and I have our cat, I have my chickens, my older son has his own cat. I didn't want to add another cat and my husband said no to a dog so we got a mini lop rabbit. She is adorable! I got a huge cage for her and we let her out two hours a day or...
She is doing ok. I feel like her system was shutting down by the time I got home. Too much food and fluid's can be bad too. So I have been not as aggressive with intake. But it's been 9 days now and I think I can start to push her harder for intake. I'll get watermelon I think she will liken...
I am an RN and comfortable with invasive procedures but I am not sure tube feeding a chicken sounds like a good idea for me lol. She does food fine it's the fluids. I use the dropped several times a day and it helps. She also did drink some juice I left out but not much. I'll keep the watered...
I had to cut feathers around her vent to prevent her poop from caking again. She didn't pass anything for the first 3 to 4 days but finally started passing some that was very concentrated today was her first solid poop but she also has been eating better. She is very weak able to stand for about...
I'll get pics of her soon. No open wounds just area of redness on her breast bone from lying on it a lot and no fat or muscle on it. I'll try the sling she still doesn't want to drink but she will eat
I went on vacation for a week and came back to a sick hen with fly strike. I dunno how long she was sick, she weighs practically nothing, light, boney, even her breast bone is poking and reddened almost like a deep tissue injury. I cleaned her vent, luckily I caught the flystrike early enough...
Hello I have 7 hens. 1 salmon faverolle I have had for four years now. 4 buff orpingtons that are 2 years old, and 2 easter eggers that are 10 months. In North County :)
Forgot to mention no open wounds on her vent it looks as if she had her vent closed off from the poop drying and caking her vent. But no obvious wound.
I was gone for one week at my dads. My friend was in charge of animal care and did a great job! I came home and it was time to clean the coop and run out. I noticed one hen looked sick, her comb was dusky. I grabbed her, she was very thin, and had a large hard foul smelling poop clump on her...
Not good pics the run wraps around the whole coop like a u shape. I would say I can't have more than 8 or it would be crowded. I have 5 adults three youngsters and I'm giving the rooster and one large Golden buff to my friend. She lost her rooster recently and a large portion of her flock to a...
