    Is this a prolapsed vent?

    Thank you. I started a bath for her right now. I've never had a hen prolapse before so I wasn't sure. After cleaning her up a bit there is yolk and white but I don't see shell. Does anyone have any advice on how to get the contents of the egg out? Should I gently push that back in first? I'm...

    Is this a prolapsed vent?

    She was fine yesterday but this morning after letting the girls out of the coop I noticed one of my hens leaning sort of backwards and not moving much. Then I see this. She sqauts and pushes every few minutes or so . Is this a prolapse? What can I do to help her? Edit To Say: No bird vets near...

    Chick leg problem. Need advice/support.

    Thanks. When we first brought her home she was laying on her side with legs stretched out. I saw a vid posted here with similar symptoms and leg out but that was a while ago now. I am leaning towards slipped tendon or leg deformity now. Thank you so much!

    Chick leg problem. Need advice/support.

    Thank you so much we agree she is so cute! Sweet little girl too. I have checked the bottom of her feet for bumble foot or other signs but she has been this way since we brought her home.

    Chick leg problem. Need advice/support.

    Yes thanks I have a short vid I can post a youtube link to. It is uplaoding right now. We usually find her resting like this. She is usually laying down when she eats next to the feeder.

    Chick leg problem. Need advice/support.

    I am having the weirdest time with my chickens right now. :/ We brought home 3 - two week old Buckeye chicks about two months ago. One of the chicks seemed like she had cocci (what I suspected from her behaviour, or slipped tendon) when I brought her home, all she did was lay down with her side...

    Cocci, slipped tendon, or something else? 2 week old chick

    I want to add, I just saw a video on a chick with a slipped tendon. When I tried to feel for this I didn't feel anything slip in or out of place. Could it still be a possibility?

    Cocci, slipped tendon, or something else? 2 week old chick

    I brought home 3 Buckeye chicks from my local feed store yesterday and one of them is not doing as well as the others. As soon as I took them out of the box she seemed off. It seems to me that something is just not right. I've been observing her and noticed that she sits almost all of the time...

    Also, we haven't had any additions to the flock. It has remained the same for over 8 months. The only addtitions were chicks hatched from which he was the father.

    Advice needed on medicating sick roo.

    Thank you for that reminder. The shells were sold to me as grit and for some reason I continue to think it as so. I will pick up grit in the morning for him! It sounds like I did not provide enough grit while he was isolated. In the mean time, does it help for me to massage his crop? Thanks...

    Advice needed on medicating sick roo.

    My little roo has not made much progress. I've noticed a few more things going on with him. My partner contructed a little co-sleeper for my side of the bed and he slept there all night. I made a solution of probiotics with electrolytes and dripped it on to his beak for as long as he would let...
