Hey everyone.
My family is currently taking care of a chicken that lives with a friend of ours with about 6 other chickens. We are chicken sitting while they are away. The other day we found a really cute polish who was very limp and lethargic. I wasn't home at the time and I assumed my brother...
The best way to cure ear it's is with drops of olive oil or vegetable in the ears Avery day or every other day till they disappear I would just wash the feeders out everytime he eats to make sure hey mites aren't spreading
Good morning today I woke up to see my 2 year old minirex faith not feeling well I notice she wasn't jumping around like she normally does right now she is currently not hungry or thirsty she ate lasts night and I only feed her at nights she is constantly laying down and breathing hard she...
hello. My 1 1/2 year old minirex rabbit just gave birth to 2 rabbits however 1 is only alive. The one that passed is bigger than the alive one. Many other people I have talked to said that the alive baby is a peanut and will not survive. However I am willing to try and do anything to help out...
Hello,
My 1 and a half year old mini Rex for is 30 days into her gestation period and I know she is supposed to be kindling anytime soon. She has built a nest however there is no fur pulling yet. And she hasn't kindled obviously. I'm starting to get impatient and worried that maybe it is a false...
Hello,
So we ordered some beautiful Hamburg chickens from Mcmurray as a straight run wanting some males to breed with later on. I believe we have 2 out of the 7. They are about 2 months old. The 'males' have larger combs than the rest and their coloring is quite off. The dilemma here is that...

Popped out breastbone side view She can eat and drink but we have been syringeing her water for her. She is eating by herself. She has no energy. She is very pale band weak. She can't lay right either mostly rolling to one side. Her poop is...
My 6 month old BBR Old English Hen has been with us for 4 months. However, I have noticed that her breastbone is oddly distinguished and she has lost a lot of weight and meat on her small figure. She was with another BBR hen and the other one was completely fine. We separated the sick one and...
So I have a fair tomorrow and my breed the commercial laying hens which are 3 leghorns wre recently bathed 3 times. However my birds feathers are still dirty and look browner than the other ones. It is. Really bothersome because I worked very hard on them. Is there anything o can do to clean the...
For leg mites I use Pam. First, give them a bath and make sure no mites or lice are by the vent, under wings, or in beards of bearded, rds I spray it on the legs and then coat it in Petroleum Jelly. It feels weird but it helps. After a few days, I dust them with seven dust or diatomaceous...
I had bumblefoot a few days ago. It looks probably like 'Eggcessive' said. However, if there does happen to be a scab that appears on the toe you have to soak the foot in Epsom salt and soften the tissue. Then peel the scab completely off and get any fluid or weirdly dried puss looking stuff...
Kinda but not quite. I have had some bare bottoms but not like this. they could be going through a very odd molt, I have had some bug/parasitic like mite/lice actually that has pulled and chewed off feathers. Could others be pecking at her for some odd reason? She might also have pulled them...
Sometimes. It just depends on their genetic history. I am learning too about genetics and coloring. If I find anything I shall pass it on to you. We have had some quail d'anvers with varying shades of quail from dark to lighter. Just depends on what is dominant.
we had a similar problem early in the year with some quail. It is mostly splayed legs because of how they hatched. We tried the cup thing with almost no luck. He ended up passing from crazy chick disorder but his legs were starting to seem better. What we did is wrapped a band-aid around...
So I have this 3 year old barred Plymouth Rock. She has had a long journey through fairs. I have noticed a couple months ago that she has different colored eyes. One is a normal orange brown but the other is more green. I assumed she was blind in the green one because she is always bidding her...
Yea. I will look into it. It's about 350 miles from us and its one case so far so I have to wait and see. I am gonna take this advice very seriously though. Its going to be hard though because Pima county fair is huge and super important because of the auction and the thrill of showing...
So just read a bunch of terrifying posts about New Castles in Az on FB. It's in Coconino county and I am in Pima which is in vail/Tucson. However, it kinda has me scared for the Fair we have coming up in about 2 weeks. Would they cancel the shows if it got close? And is there any prevention...
