    3 day old chick with prolapsed umbilicus/hernia?

    I am just going to finish this thread. The little chickie finally laid down on the heat pad and slept there. It woke once and stood up all afternoon but didn’t eat. In the evening it was down and it passed away shortly after. I could tell from the spasm in the legs that he was on his way out...

    3 day old chick with prolapsed umbilicus/hernia?

    Overnight the sack hanging got longer. I think he didn’t sleep much because he was standing. This morning I syringed some egg yolk and he got some water with booster. The abdomen is flat now. All yolk has been used up. There is no swelling or water accumulated in it. The sack hanging started...

    Day old chick attacked by other hens and can't see

    Oh wow you got lucky. I had a rooster that got into fights and lost both of his eyes. he couldn’t see at all, maybe light and shadows but not enough to know where he was going. He kept getting lost in the forest and couldn’t find food and water and we had to put him down. It was my fabourite...

    3 day old chick with prolapsed umbilicus/hernia?

    It has been cleaned. I believe this is the yolk sack. I can only hope that it will get absorbed again. I don’t know what that protruding long thing is. It is hard and it would not soften with the liquid on it. I separated the chickens but they are still in the brooder so I can keep the...

    3 day old chick with prolapsed umbilicus/hernia?

    This chick was trampled by the hen and almost died at 8 hours old. It is I guess possible that it got injured then. It happened on Friday. I had to resuscitate him. The tissue is not hard. Just large enough to think that I could not push it back. I don’t have bactricin only polysporin but I...

    Comment by 'as110' in article 'How to Cull a Chick with Kitchen Sheers (Scissors) for Squeamish People *slightly graphic*'

    I think carbon dioxide is very cruel and I am surprised a vet would do this. CO2 is the stimulant for breathing, not O2 and the higher the CO2 level, the faster the breathing to get rid of it, the quicker you panik when you hyperventilate when you don’t get O2 in the brain. That’s basically what...

    3 day old chick with prolapsed umbilicus/hernia?

    That yellow stuff is yolk and it has dried on the feathers so now it’s rock hard. There is no smell and otherwise it is dry.

    3 day old chick with prolapsed umbilicus/hernia?

    This chick hatched on Friday morning so technically it is 3.5 days old. This morning I checked and his butt was clean, no pasty butt. He looked normal and feeling sleepy since he hatched. I just got home in the evening, the first thing I did was checked and now the umbilical area is out...

    Broody hatched eggs in extreme cold

    We have a hen that went broody when the weather warmed up. This is her 3rd time brooding. The first time she went to hide in the forest. I thought she died but my kids saw her feed and then disappear. I found the nest after 5 days and moved it into the house. She didn’t hatch anything and sat...

    1 week Post bumblefoot surgery, still non-weight bearing

    Here are some pictures if what his foot looked like, and what we got out of the inside of the foot. One more pice is missing because I was cleaning up when I thought to take a picture if it. There was one more bigger piece. The kernel came out in junks.

    1 week Post bumblefoot surgery, still non-weight bearing

    My rooster had bumble feet and he was sitting for almost 2 months. Other than he was unable to walk, he was not lethargic. It dragged out that long because I didn’t know he had bumble foot. He didn’t have the telltale black scab on that foot and it was very swollen. And then we had to evacuate...

    Bird has a black bottom and protrusion below the vent. I can’t tell if it a scab or dried poop. Can anyone advise?

    That wound is too deep and life threatening. This chicken is dying. You need to rinse and to pack the wound with wet dressing soaked in sterile normal saline. It has to heal from the inside out and it needs dressing changes at least once a day, twice is better. The problem is, it is not possible...

    Bird has a black bottom and protrusion below the vent. I can’t tell if it a scab or dried poop. Can anyone advise?

    If your friend saw ‘worms’ last week, those could have been maggots. Since he didn’t look and see anything on her back, I question that he really saw worms. My guess is they were maggots and they pupate very quickly. You will not see maggots a week later. I don’t see anything wrong with the...

    Peafowl not eating.

    Blueberries are full of fluids. Maybe they are getting enough from foraging. I would try to put their beaks into the water like baby chicks. If they drank from a different waterer, they might not know what to do. Hm Animals would find water if they are thirsty. I wouldn’t worry if they look to...

    Corona viruses in chickens: infectious bronchitis

    Infectious bronchitis immunity is irrelevant to the covid-19 immunity. They don’t make the same antibodies to protect against both diseases at the same time. My whole flock has had IB and I still get the flu and cold. I avoid public places to prevent covid-19 infection. I don’t want to test if I...

    Broody hen on nest in the house - what do I do?

    Here is yesterday’s poop. I guess she doesn’t have coccidiosis. She did not come off the nest from Monday until Thursday.
