Well, 2 days ago I got some chicks at the Swap on Sunday, treated for mareks have their shots, etc. The chicks were 4 days old then and are now 6, tiny little fluffy silkie chicks, I was cleaning their bums off because the fluff on there bum was catching so much poo it was crusting over, I...

UPDATE Well, I went inactive for a bit and in that time the hen with the flap had the flap naturally fall off which was good and the one de-skinned in the head is healing quiet well.

I had one of my hens do this before. She was egg bound, so, I'm guessing your Jade is too. I took my hen inside for 3 days and left her alone in a crate with food and water and she plopped the egg right out after being left alone and not tampered with. Of course, my hen had laid before, she was...

Quote: Thank you. I put the two wounded hens outside a couple days ago and their wounds are healing surprisingly fast, its actually kinda weird. Haha, the male silkie is actually all better now and his eyes healed naturally and his face is all good, he seemed pretty calm when he couldn't see...

Looks basically like this, but, there tinier and look, well, like dirt! At first I was like, oh, its just dirt shes fine, but, she continuously is scratching, well, biting I guess you could say, her sweat gland and is actually biting some of her back feathers because she is apparently trying to...

Quote: Well, he is 4 years old this year and he is pretty calm, but, I just said that because he attacks anyone wearing boots and he did hit them on the head, but, I was just throwing ideas in there at the moment. I just cleaned both the gashes and put disinfectant on them, the one with the...

Hello all, Haven't been online in a couple months sorry about that. Well, usually I am totally insane about these kinds of things and have little heart attacks, but, I feel pretty "chill" about this for some reason. haha. Anyways, before I start may I add I just got 4 New hens and these are 2...

Quote: Well, its actually a large dog bowl and all the chickens can usually get there heads in there to eat, and I throw some food on the ground for the mini chickens. Its just one feeder, but, I don't have that many chickens anymore, I use to have 82 I think now its down to 25, big change. I...

2 days ago, I got a report from my daughter that one of our hens was acting weird and following her, I went outside to go look at the hen and she looked fine, I thought maybe she was just hungry because there food bowl was licked clean. I walked away and watched how she acted with the other...

Quote: Silkie roosters are VERY VERY loud, tiny, but one of the loudest out of the rooster breeds in my opinion, I would so like to buy your D'uccle roosters! I am going to start breeding D'uccles and mini chickens next summer! But, your to fare away... They may die on the way!

Guess what!!! It was just a BIG ball of feathers all growing in the same spot! They just got stuck in the skin! I am SO happy it wasn't a tumor!

Quote: Okay, I felt it again today, and the skin around it is getting tighter, its still "kinda" movable.

Quote: No speckledhen, its almost a prefect circle, I put a needle half way in it, to see if puss came out, but, blood, again, not puss, but, this time I know I went into it, while it had a hole, I tried popping it, to see if it was a build up of dirt and scum, just blood, I didn't push or...

Quote: I know what oil glands look like, trust me, its not one, but thank you for saying that.

Yesterday, I was checking all my chickens for head lice, (recently I had an war with a head lice infestation) Well, no one but this hen had some, I went straight to dusting her, and noticed a lump on her back, I was poking it and trying to figure out what it was, it moves freely, not attached to...

He is a darling, very playing full, and a Wonderful farther! If you chase him he will run away, but then randomly freeze to make you stumble, he loves to be held, just not ran after. If you put him in with chicks he will act as if they were his own, show them food, freeze to let them eat it...
