Thank you! That is such a relief to hear. She has some feathers missing too but no other external issues and she’s resting in isolation. We’re not out of the woods but it’s good to know that supposed to be there! The fox def got one but we actually found her other sister out in the yard who had...
Hi all!
Our girls just got attacked by a fox. This girl alerted us to what was going on and managed to escape. She has this on her bottom I’m not sure if that’s a wound or just normally they’re under the feathers. Does anyone know? I don’t see any other wounds gonna let her rest for now in...
Did you have any luck treating her bumblefoot? I have a chicken two years old who definitely has gout and severe bumblefoot in both feet. I tried cutting out the infection but couldn’t seem to get the kernel out. We soak in epsom, treat with antibiotic, and bandage but she doesn’t seem to be...
We do but I think I’ve only seen garter snakes and my husband said he’s seen some that look like hognose snakes. That’s helpful though we can look to see if there’s any ways it might have gotten into the coop!
Hello,
We opened the coop today to find our two and a half year old Buff Orpington dead. She was on the ground there was a little blood coming pooling near her head but no other major injuries to see. We flipped her over and saw two tiny circular marks maybe cuts on her face but that’s it. No...
Unfortunately only bad news here. We kept calling vets and finally found one that treats birds. Once we got there the Vet said her pelvis was basically shattered. She was barely breathing and in a ton of pain. I think ruptured air sacs too her breathing was struggling. We talked about plans to...
I’m so sorry for your loss. I am praying our girl makes it. Looking closely at the wound it looks like there’s something broken it might be part of her pelvis I’m like googling chicken anatomy
She’s not moving but both her feet are responsive to my touch. She did perk up a minute ago but now she’s back i think she’s really in shock my poor girl.
Ok. I have both of those I can do that. Any suggestions on cleaning the wound ? The hole is big I’m scared to make things worse. Does it look like a hawk should I keep the other girls in their coop too? Should i cover the wound up or let it open to air?
Hello please help me!!
Spent the morning outside with my girls everyone seemed fine. Came outside to find the dog standing over my barred rock she wasn’t moving. Calling the dogs off her I see she has an open wound and her skin is very yellow around it. There are also three giant hawks...
Hi all! The patient is doing well! swellings nearly all gone and she's moving much quicker. She was very vocal this morning when we did her soak. I think the dark spots around her leg is just scanning but I'm gonna keep an eye on it! Thank you all again so much for your speedy responsesand...
She's moving around a lot faster today! In the second image I can't tell if there still some string there or if it's scanning. Is it too aggressive to check it out with tweezers?
