I thought i heard another one beginning the coughbut wasn't 100% sure. Ive own Trudy for a little over a year. She sounds rapsy a long with the cough. Other than that nothing.
A couple days ago, I noticed my polish top hat, Trudy, having a type of cough, and through she got something caught in her throat. I quickly picked her up and looked in her mouth and found nothing. I thought it was a one time thing. I was wrong, next I heard her raspy breathing while she was...
No pinkish tint to the froth. My boy when i try to clean his neck shakes his head and makes his head meet his back and then shakes. Freaks me out. And think he is siezing or going in shock. Any liquid i give him comes right back out.
Didnt seen any blood inside of his beak. He got his head under a tree root and wedge into a corner of the coop outside fence and couldnt get his head out. I dont know if any other chickens were pecking at him. This happened yesterday evening. He seemed to be doing well but i am worried that his...
I need some advice. My poor little bantam rooster got trapped under part of our fence. And he had ripped his neck pretty good. No tares just beaten up. His eyes are swollen shut and i am trying everything i can to keep his alive. He have been giving him probotic and nutridrench for a drink...
I left the umbilical cord on and it still has a good amount of the cord on its butt currently. I left it in the incubator thinking it would help keep it warm and help from my other chicks pecking at it.
I had a newborn chick that was born that i had to wet the membrane as it was very dry in the beginning of the hatch. Now its been 12 hours and the chick is very weak and cant stand, very floppy and seems extremely tired. Any suggestions on what to do or is this normal for some chicks? How long...
She is in large kennel and chicken coop with 9 other chickens, 2 Roosters and 8 hens. I feel she is going to go bald at this rate. Its depressing to see this happening to her.
I have a polish top hat and i have been noticing that she is getting more and more bald on top. Almost looks like she is missing hair plugs. I believe when my rooster is riding her he is ripping them out. She is bloody and bald looking. I asked a friend about this issue as she has the same style...
I have 2 precious leghorns. Ones name is Belle and the other one is named Daisy. They are 7 months old now, they are both Females, both are white in color, standard size, with what I call a "comb over" style comb. With both of them being identical, I am unsure how many eggs I am getting from...
The full black one is Jackie (named after my friend Jack who passed away), She is a Ayam Cemani, believed to be around 4 to 5 months old.
The brown one is Trudy (named after my grandmother Gertude), She is a Polish Top Hat, believed to be around 4 to 5 months old.
I began by holding the chicken and letting the others visit them, and then after a few moments of that I place them on the ground to wonder around. I have also put them outside the caged area, and they try pecking them through that cage also. Its mostly my bantams that are attacking these "newbies".
I have 6 chickens, (5 hens, and 1 rooster- Different breeds) that have been together since the day I brought them from Tractor Supply. They get along great. I bought 4 more chickens at different times and have those 4 chickens seperate but now I want to try and get them all in one chicken coop...
I have had some experience with the corid lately as my chickens developed Coccidiosis. The best combination I have found is putting it in their water, or mixing the water into their feed like an oatmeal mixture. They responded very well to that. I almost lost my rooster. The Nutri-Drench helped...
