When you isolate your roosters in the bachelor pad are they able to see/ hear the hens and just not get to them or are they in a totally different area? My husband and I are curious because we are seriously considering this. Another of my hens has its skin on the side of its body tore, about the...
Mobil device as well, cell phone. I just know things happen with my chickens usually when a vets office isn't open, so I figured until you could get him in it was worth a shot. I google everything. I am new to chickens as of February this year and am attempting organic, so I tend to try...
No, I don't but they are as much pets as for the farm. All 3 were part of my very first chicken purchase, we are in the Clio, Michigan area and only moved here a year ago. So between new area and first experience I am partial to my 16. This is the rooster my husband has threatened to kill more...
There isn't much I can find on what is permitted/ not on organic. I use my best judgement because I am not quite to the point of getting USDA certification. They get organic feed and treats. I used organic flour as a blood stop after finding that on a google search since I didn't have a blood...
He is a stubborn one, but I am hoping you are right. Our first chicken purchase this Spring my husband knew I wanted chickens so took his chances and purchase a mixed set of 6 Austrolorpes and a couple weeks later we got a straight run of 5 barred rocks and 5 isa browns. Considering they are 9...
If you do a google search on wheezing chicken there is a post for natural rx. If I was good at copying and pasting I would have added the link. You could try some of those for further assessment. Most of the ingredients you may have in the kitchen? I will work on sending the link.
Seems like just his comb and waddles, some missing feathers on his head. Cant exactly tell because every time I try to clean his wounds so much blood. But is seems to be isolated to his entire comb and waddles. Maybe the side of his beak, it looks cracked but I cant tell how deep.
Thank you, he will be in the kids bathroom for atleast a couple days, if not longer. This is my first round of chickens and he is the low rooster. I am still learning how to assess life-threating and his behavior is so abnormal. We brought him in 4 hours ago and there have been no droppings...
This is my smallest rooster. Best guess is he tried to stand off with another one. I am trying to raise my chickens according to organic standards so I tried a bath and hydrogen peroxide but gave up with all the blood that started. Hard to assess his injuried because hecjust kept bleeding. Took...
I have been reading through everyone elses posts regarding dealing with an injured chicken. I have tried to clean the wounds and they are on the comb so it became necessary to just stop the bleeding. I think one of his nostrils was injured or has become blocked by blood, but each time I attempt...
