He was fine this am when I let them out, same as always ran for scratch I throw them. He’s never been a big bird; he looked deflated, but was a fairly hot day today, not sure when he passed. I had just gotten home from work when we found him
My son just found our rooster dead, had been perfectly fine. No idea what happened, had this freakish yellow color stuff on his side, but we don’t know if it’s coincidence or a cause of death? We are due to go on vacation tomorrow PM, want to make sure we are not setting our pet sitter up for...
All 4 of our Banatms went broody at the same time. Was impossible to break them, so we have 2 sitting on fake eggs, and 2 share/sitting 5 bantam eggs. We’ve never had them stay on eggs long enough to hatch.
So… when I went to let them out this am, I checked under the pair, and there was a...
She’s eating ok, drinking when she can. Working on the vitamins, seems a little better after B, getting Vitamin e today, local store out of corid, shipping it in.
Separated her from the other two to check her poop to make sure. Don’t want to totally separate her, as they comfort her
Poop seems fine, she did have a little on her this am, after cleaning her, her vent is a little bloody and pulsating.
Will try the corrid, will it affect if she doesn’t need it?
We had bought 2 buff orp chicks for a broody hen, she rejected them, lost one at a week old. Bought 2 more from...
2 week old chick, all the sudden started acting Lethargic, seems hard time standing. Was thriving, running all over last night
this Am.
Gave her nutridrench, breathing seems a bit labored. What else can I do for her. She seems to get run over by the other two in with her
8/17 hatch date, no...
Thank you! That’s what I was leaning to, my husband and son said no, only one cockerel. I’m hoping the 3 get along as well down the road, we’ve 12 full size and 4 bantams. I’ll take a bantam roo any day
We know the white featherless legs is a roo… the d’uccle has the looks, but no sounds, same with the one we think is old English? No idea on breeds of the black ones either
So, everyone’s favorite game, roo or hem, and breeds?
They’re approx 12-13 weeks
The looks of a roo… but 🤷🏼♀️breeds...
This barred rock chick will be 4 weeks 5/10. We think when we got her her toe was stuck in a gap in the cardboard, she had curled toe, which we fixed.
We have given nutridrench, tried to see if slipped tendon, tried different hobbles. Nothing has worked.
We free range our chickens, and plan to...
Our bantam roo was great at protecting his ladies. Alerting them, calling them in. Sadly, a mink got in our coop via a chewed in hole, and it slaughtered 6 of our flock, including my roo. Hoping one of the 7 bantams I have to replace is a roo, and half as good as he was for them
Hi all! 6 years ago we got our first group, of supposedly sexed chicks… 6 of 7 were Roos… we rehomed 5, kept a beautiful giant black australop… until he tried to attack a Christmas tree customer!
We’ve added on and off, lost a few to nature. A month ago, a mink found its way in our coop...
This lady hatched 4/12. We picked her up 4/13. I think it was her who had middle toe stuck in between 2 flaps of cardboard on way home, not positive.
She had curled toes, we taped that day. Didn’t notice the leg issue. But had been told to address foot issue first.
Any ideas what’s with her...
