She is a 4 month barnyard mix. When I found her I cleaned her head a bit. I gave her some scrambled egg and yogurt. I gave her some chick saver in her water. She is eating very well and drinking. I really don't know how long she was with out food. My husband was nice today and let the girls out...
Ok sorry to bother you guys, but I need guidance. I went out to do my choir today and notice that one of my fall hatchlings was missing. Well just about 30min ago I found her in the run just laying down. I rushed her into the house to get her warm. She has what looks like she was pecked or cut...
So I live in Michigan, and we are in line with a nice cold front (Got to love Michigans weather). I have had my 21 5 1/2 week old chicks outside for 3 days now. I have two heat light and 2 heating chicken pads in the coop. Monday we are getting down to 12! Should I let them be or bring them back in?
I don't know if he was vaccinated or not. He is only 7 months old. No other roosters, and he isn't walking on his elbow. He can walk and run fine, but if he stops he topples over. Just gave him 1ml of B Complex. It has b2 b6 b12 in it. I wish I could up load the video.
My Rooster Oreo has been acting really strange lately. But now
its getting worse. He keeps squatting and his tail feathers point down. He will walk just find and when he stops, he starts slowly squat. No mites, no Lice, no exterior injuries, no cough, nothing. Just hoping to see if anyone else...
I'm dealing with this right now too. It's been really wet here and not our normal December in Michigan. I caught my Princess limping yesterday. I examined her and found bumblefoot . I did my best cleaning it out, and I put a fresh bandage on her everyday after giving her a soak in Epsom salt...
Mine are doing the same thing. I have a partially covered run. My food and water is in the covered part. They hit the food and water once today. My chickens are chicken lol
They chased them out but ended up doing the deed in there yard. I have a fenced in back yard and a dog run just for them and they went out the front. There Isn't a fence to stop them
I was out hunting tonight and my mother in law was home watching my kids and my dogs. My mother in law took the kids outside and my dogs pushed passed and ran out the front door. They have never did this before. When I got home, I apologize and offered money to replace the chickens. I know how...
It's going to sound funny, but I put a battery power lantern in the coop tonight. I turn it on around 8:30pm. They all found there new cozy spot I put the old coop next to the new one for one reason. I have two 6 1/2 week old sliver laced Wyandotte. So the big birds can see but not touch.
I built a new coop for my girls. I converted my 8x8 shed and attached a 15x8 run. I know it a big shock for them, and was wondering how do I get them to go in at night. They keep grouping up by the fence next to the old coop. The first day they went in to my surprise 2 of my chickens laid in the...
My EE is 21 almost 22 weeks old. She has been squatting for about 2 weeks now. This morning when I went to check on my flock, I noticed Flappy sitting like a dog. She is eating fine. Walking normal, but I catch her sitting like is a few time a day. She has not lay any eggs yet. Is this a sign...
So I live in Michigan and with all the rain we have had, I think the Mosquito will carry me away! Has anyone here ever used mosquito beater? It says it's safe for people and pets. I don't want my chickens to get sick. But I don't want to be a blood bank either!
