Thank you very much!:) I have been cleaning and applying Bag balm everyday. There is no smell and 'Fiesty' seems in excellent health despite the severity of the wound. The attached photos are of the flap that reuses to stay down. The thumb shaped flap is circled, the other with my finger holding...
But the flap us bent back and will not go back.
I did read #4 and am doing all according to instructions, but I tried to put the flap back and secure with a thick layer of bag balm, but it is bent like a crease in paper. what if its growing back that way? Without sewing it back into place it...
The Orpington passed last night after amoxicillin that afternoon. but believe it probably was internal injuries, broken bone or ribs or .... so probably for the best, because she still would not eat or drink on her own, nor could she stand and she leaned to one side.
She is doing well so far. Eating, drinking. good color, fiesty as usual but There is a skin flap that will not fold back into place? any suggestions.I can't or don't think I can use a butterfly bandage cause the surrounding skin tissue is all damaged ?
Thank you so much. several people have recommended Bag Balm to keep clean and moist. Is this a no? How long after injury can I still give oral antibiotic? Vet not available on the weekend.
Just had 2 large dogs breach our fences and chicken run, out of 9, 3 confirmed dead, 2 injured but hopeful of survival and a 3rd is fine. 3 are missing but hopefully that they are hiding.
How do I treat the back injury? The other injured chicken may have a broken wing. foot or leg, still...
She is only 2 1/2 years old. Today I gave her water with a tiny bit of Oregano and that seemed to snap her out of it. She is up by the house with her flock as usual. Maybe she was tired of the drama queens and needed to take a break.:p
Hi Everyone on BYC,
2 mornings ago one of my buff orpingtons, didn't leave the coop in the morning with the rest of her flock. I have a 2 story diy coop, gravel and open except for hardware cloth on the ground and second story is where they roost at night and have nests. I was afraid she might...
Thank you, I thought so. They are starting to get out of the brooder and I haven't used the heat lamp for a while. It's supposed to be 42 next Monday night, but that's a week away.
So much contradicting information.I have decided to post my pictures and info and get a consensus.
I have 3 Australorp and 3 Orpington chicks that are 3 weeks old. Have been putting them outside for the last week in a run. The temps here in Texas are in the 80's during the day, in the 60's at...
Thank you for your help, unfortunately despite our efforts Teriyaki passed away a few days ago.She will be missed, but she had a very long and healthy life. Never was sick before, laid lots of eggs, was a hero to us and our other chickens, as she would always alert us to predators, and escaped...
As soon as I picked her up I realized she was laying in a wet spot. And she smells now. That's from last night. Also when I picked her up this weird thing fell off her bottom. I imgine it came out of her. Any idea what it is? See photo below. She is so much weaker than yesterday. :( I started...
My 6 yr old Australorp hen, has had diarrhea, is very lethargic, and has no appetite. This seems to come on when the temperature dropped. We thought maybe she caught cold, so we brought her inside. Then we thought maybe she was broody, because she would come out of her cage in the morning drink...
