I sent that Amazon wormer and they said no worms of any kind. I think trying to put jelly on her head is what did it. I scared her. She did a small peck at the egg but went back inside. I felt under her legs and felt nothing. I don't see anything else wrong with her except for not really eating...
Shes drinking...she just walks around like this. Idk. I'm done worrying and pissed I even took any of those chickens in. My birds NEVER flicked their heads until these guys came. I palpated her and felt nothing. Dont know what to do. Scrambling eggs and throwing them in the pen amd walking away.
I'm hoping its just cuz I scared her. I can never touch her but I was afraid of frostbite. Should have left her alone. I feel sick that I hurt her. I cant lose anymore at the moment. Not right now. I'm finally not stressed out and sick over these birds.
Everything has been going well until today. I went to put petroleum jelly on my large crowned hen, Janis, and she got super scared so I stopped. Woke up this morning to a frozen egg on the floor with no shell. I had no idea who it was and Janis was already sitting in the box for a really long...
Still down to only one hen with green diarrhea. Everyone else does normal green poops. My one diarrhea'd when I put them to bed, but in guessing cuz their water froze or too much scratch this morning. My diarrhea hen sleeps in the nesting boxes. I can tell cuz the wall corners have poop on them...
I feel bad I let it go on that long. This morning was the first She really acted off badly. Up until now, she ran for treats and food. Also kept up with her sisters. I'm relieved that she's gone, but I wish I had the strength to cull her this morning instead of letting her go by herself. I was...
I feel horrible that there were all these lash eggs in there. I didnt know. I should have just put her down in the beginning. I thought the ascites was just it. I feel like a bad chicken mama. But she passed on a half hr. Later with her family. She died in my arms. I was too much of a coward to...
I'm back at the beginning again. I dont know what to do. I'm told baytril wont help this far along. How in the world do you kill your best friend??? And why her? This is so unfair
It was a very emotional vacation. Had such a great time but cried for a couple hours the day I had to come home. I miss my friends and memories, but jersey is becoming a crap hole with the whole sanctuary state and taxes and such. Still head flicking...but I got eggs. Someone ate 2. I gave up on...
And knowing she is terminal helps me relax. Its sad but in the end she is just a chicken and my health comes first. She's a fighter so I woupdnt be surprised if she greets me when I get back. In good as long as my neighbor doesnt shoot my one roo while I'm away. Heres to sitting on the beach and...
I had the curtains on both sides but stapled them to just one side. They seem to like that better. As for nugget, I went to drain her before I drive down to jersey for two days, and thick yellow came out of the syringe. Id say abt. 2mg of the fatter syringe. It wasnt that much. She does feel...
Me too. I'm in stroudsburg. Mine ended up getting sick from the rain. I started out with mulch. I had a bunch of bags. You need to rake it back in place every now and then. My coop os on a slant so the mulch rolls to the front door. Not sure about sand. Never used sand with my chooks. I also...
