I have a four birds; a Turken(age3), a RIR(age2) and two bantams, polish(1) and Japanese(1)bantam.
I notice my turken and my RIR are losing weight. So I’m deworming them as I know they havemore than a sufficient diet( layer pellets, scratch, plenty of fruits and veg, and cat treats).
I need...
Carmella is sick. Pls help.
She’s super lethargic. Has diarrhea but still laying. Super puffing herself up but it’s warm today like 15 Celsius. She has been losing a lot of weight and meat in her breast; I’ve been feeding her lots of high protein foods. Today she looks even worse than...
i only have two bantams in this beautiful cedar coop and I’m concerned about keeping them warm through the cold BC Winters. It’s can reach -20 in late jan-early feb. I’m building a leanto shed over it and tacking up some old blankets around it to insulate it.
Do our guys have any other ideas...
My bird Carmella was totall good last night. Let her out this morning to roam and she was good. Just came back to me with swollen (hemroidish looking) vent and leaking a white fluid. Not quite like poop. She’s squaring and looking super uncomfortable. Is drinking water. Leaking clearing white...
this is a wonderful example of how to integrate. I find some examples seem rushed. I think it’s so important to slowly introduce our girls to each other. Thanks so much
Thank you so much <3 this is great advice !
My run is 12 ft x 6 ft and the inside is 4 x6 ft.
My big birds pretty much free range for the day everyday unless I leave for the day.
My lil girl is gonna stay with me inside until I think she’s tough enough.
So I’ve adopted this crowned polish bantam chick, a friend found her in a parking lot abandoned. She couldn’t keep her so I offered.
I have two birds already, (a red and a naked neck)and they get along great. I’m just concerned about whether or not they’ll eat along or they’ll hurt my lil girl...
I got her from a neighbour who’s just been breeding them and farming for her mom for years. They didn’t know. I’m in Kelowna, BC. Not a lot of legit hatcheries over here. Just old school style of selling chicks
This is Carmela, we’re going to get her a buddy today as her buddy died little bit ago. I always thought that maybe she was a real red hen but she’s so much more of a caramel then I had actually of observed.
What breed is my girl?
She’s now had another bath and I smothered her feet in Vaseline.
Looked a lot cleaner but showed me just how bad it was.
Tmr I go into town and I’ll get some diotematious earth. And maybe a good spray. I’m gonna scrub my coop and pact it with DTE. Cause this is bad.
Any other tips?
My hen Potato is acting off. She may be favouring the one leg just slightly. I noticed she her legs and feet looked weird, almost “crusty”.
She just had a warm bath and I took a baby toothbrush and gently cleaned her feet. This is an after bath photo.
Would you guys say this is scaly legs...
