I’m concerned that she still isn’t acknowledging that leg.
She will not put any pressure on it at all.
She doesn’t seem to be in any pain. I get her up and out of the cage 3 times a day. Stand her up and let her drink and eat. And she will try to hop around on her good leg.
Here is the leg...
A vet is not an option right now.
I tried a sling, but wondered if it was causing her dangling leg more harm than good.
Then I tried a splint. That seemed painful for her.
I think the break is above her elbow, in that vicinity.
This is what I ended up doing last night. She prefers to lay on...
Hey guys! I need your help, once again.
I have around 40(ish) free range chickens.
I have a group of 4 chicks that are around 4-5 months old.
I was giving out snacks yesterday and (I didn’t see it, but heard) one of my big chickens trample one of the babies.
The baby flopped over the side of...
Thank you all!
Satan was such a little butthole, but we all loved him, and enjoyed him!
He was my guard rooster.
It didn’t matter what time of the night it was, if something came on the property, he crowed. Whether it was a bear or a raccoon! He let us know!
Every time I pulled out of the...
Satan is still down.
He is better than he was, but still not up to par.
He’s still not eating very much. Drinking some.
I have some powdered antibiotics, I might try a round of those
The neighbors thought it was coccidosis.
A few of his younger birds were just fluffed up, huddling together.
And then they died, one right after another.
He went around 2 weeks, then a few more died.
I believe he is a Minorca, or when he was well, the spawn of Satan himself
The last 2 days, he has felt more like himself. He seems a little more spry.
He isn’t better, by any means, but he has perked up a bit.
He did eat a boiled egg yesterday, and today.
I have tons of before photos of him...
Crop is good
Poo is more less water. He’s not eating much. A little bit not much. He is drinking better today.
He will close his eye when I put my hand up to it.
Is there any explanation of why his face has turned white? He’s always had a very handsome, vibrant red face!
Here is a photo of...
You know, when I think about it. When I have walked up to his cage, he makes no movement. Only when I speak to him.
I’ve been reading up on the type of Mareks you described, and I do think he has went blind.
I used the flash on the camera. I think that’s what it was.
I was thinking Mareks too, but he shows no signs of paralysis.
He is still hanging on this morning!
I have around a 3.5 year old Bantam Rooster, named Satan (this bird earned his name, trust me )
I have around 25 chickens that free range.
My little Banty became ill around 1 week ago.
Puffed up, not engaging with other members of the flock.
I separated him, he’s been in a crate in my...
hey guys! I'm new to this thread. I love chickens! I have around 20 of them! A variety too!
We do have 1 game hen and 1 game rooster that we have to keep caged.
The game hen hatched a few eggs today. There are still a few eggs left to hatch.
Mama hen has her newly hatched chicks in her basket...
