    Great, thanks! As soon as I can get them to stand still for a moment I'll get some pictures.
  2. canuck chicken

    fighting breeds

    I rescued a couple of young hens from a fighting operation. Not to worry, I don't have any roosters, they're just going to be pets. I tried to do some research but can't find out much about the hens or even the breeds used in fighting. Does anyone know if these are typically nice birds or good...

    Fox Bite

    Thanks! I just cleaned her with Hibitane and got a good look at the wounds - 4 substantial puncture wounds. Packed them with Neosporin and now she's up and about eating. I only have one other hen so they're both locked in the coop together. They usually roam the yard. Is there much risk that the...

    Internal infection? Prolapse?

    I just had to have my 5 year-old Auracana euthanized due to a massive infection but I'm not sure what caused the infection. She had a red swollen protrusion below her vent and her vent had some infection in it that bugs were getting at. Does this sound like a prolapse? The vent itself was not...

    Please help - hen has red raw butt covered in maggots or worms

    Once I got her cleaned up the site looked really bad. The maggots seemed to be coming from inside of her and I decided that rather than letting her suffer while I was messing around trying to cure her and no bird vet around that the best thing to do would be to euthanize her. I gave her a soak...

    Please help - hen has red raw butt covered in maggots or worms

    Thanks for all the tips. I'm about to fit out a dog cage for her so she can rest after her bath. I'll put in a dish of yogurt and some treats and see how it goes.

    Please help - hen has red raw butt covered in maggots or worms

    Hello. My old auracana has a red raw looking butt, the area is teeming with white bugs (maggots maybe?), her tail feathers are covered in a smelly brown discharge and she's acting like you'd expect - sick. I gave her a dose of tylan because it's the only thing I can think of. I'm about to give...

    Hi from Bucks County, PA

    Hi to 1mommahen. Thanks for the offer of the 2 BO's! I don't know chicken lingo too well yet - does it mean Buff Orpington? I just looked them up and read that they're usually calm and friendly - sounds like what I'm looking for. I'd love to take you up on the offer. We could drive up to...

    Hi from Bucks County, PA

    Hi. I'm new to this site and so far I'm amazed - had no idea so many people have chickens in their backyards. It's great! I had three little hens as pets in my suburban backyard but now I'm down to two. My barred rock hen died suddenly last week for no reason that I can figure out. She was...
