    Late Lockdown Day 20

    Hi, Unfortunately it did not, and I discarded the egg last night, however, either did the other 3 that I DID put into lockdown on the correct day, so just one of those things, maybe a humidity issue due to being quite thick shelled eggs? I would choose to lockdown earlier rather than later. I...

    Late Lockdown Day 20

    Where is the egg now? Where was it after the others were locked down? What happened to it? It's been a day, what happened? Did it hatch? Hehe...You seem more panicked than I did, haha, thank you for being interested. Hi, I have 2 incubators set up, 1 in normal mode and the other in lockdown ...

    Lump Hanging behind roosters ear? What is it ??

    Thank you for the thought, We have an avian vet about 40min drive from here but their prices are just ridiculous. They class themselves as "Exotic Pet" Vets. Since when is a chicken exotic ? I have asked my hubby to send some pics to his pigeon vet tomorrow to get his opinion, I'll see what he...

    Lump Hanging behind roosters ear? What is it ??

    Thank you rebrascora, I am so sorry you have had to deal with that, It makes me feel physically sick to find my or your chickens dying repeatedly. However, I have had a few losses now, through the odd respratory illness, dogs, foxes, hawks and only cry every second time now. My partner is a...

    Lump Hanging behind roosters ear? What is it ??

    Hi, and thank you, do you happen to know .. or have any experience with Mareks disease? What would be the first signs (apart from tumours) I should be looking for just in case it is Mareks? I will definitely try bathing it first to see what the scab does. And see where I go from there I suppose...

    Lump Hanging behind roosters ear? What is it ??

    Thank you, you have pretty much confirmed what I was thinking and feeling. We have never had any cases of Mareks or Lymphoid Leukosis thank goodness and the other chickens he lives with are in picture perfect health. I was also debating as to whether to see what was under the scab. Which I will...

It is quite heavy so hangs, in one photo, I can see another small one beginning to grow under his right eye. Does anybody have a clue what this could be and what I should do ?. He is still...

    Chick makes a whistling sound when breathing out.

    Hi, I know your post was a long time ago but I found it while I was searching today. I have a little hen doing the same thing, It's not constant, it only seems to be when she's really relaxed, even sleeping, like a snoring but sometimes she's awake. Can you tell me what you found with your...
