Okay so when i caught her, she had a seizure. On the way to the vet, 2 more. Had one at the vet when he took her out and another during the exam. I told him that she seems to have the seizures now every time she gets frightened, like some type of coping mechanism. The good news...no mites or...
Taking her to the vet today. She's doing better. She'd not having seizures every day anymore, but i want her checked out. It's gonna be a fun time trying to catch her, she's very timid. I'll post with what the vet says...
Well she had another one this morning coming out of the coop. Her head hits the ground repeatedly during these episodes. This just started. I didn't notice anything before the storm. It's so sad. I feel like she's just going top eventually kill herself by a head injury.
I have a 4 month buff cantalana that recently had multiple seizures during a storm. It wasn't dust bathing, it happened on concrete. She was scratching her head like crazy, but I'm assuming it was from hitting her head on the concrete so many times. I'm thinking she has epilepsy.
Has anyone...
I found out that it could be mites/parasites. All of these signs I missed with my girls. Everyone kept telling me to give calcium, but it didn't work. One of my girls was laying eggs, just fine. Might want to check into parasites. They don't always show symptoms. Mine weren't missing any...
I don't know much, but I can tell you when I first got my babies at 2 days, they seemed to have a hard time eating the chick food. I just put some water in there to soften it up. After a couple days, they were fine eating the chick food without water. I have no idea if that is normal or not, I...
Are they cross breeds when they're special ordered through my Grange? I paid more for the special order to make sure i got oegb. I was supposed to get two black breasted and two silver duckwing. But ya... she isn't those.
I can't seem to find another chick like my Penny. I wanted to compare her to other chicks of her breed to see if i thot she was a she, but there's nothing quite like her. I got a couple responses, but still curious. I ordered oegb.
I see there are a lot of responses and i didn't read them all, but have you tried Bokashi? Bokashi is an all natural enzyme that eats animal waste. It's completely safe. I think it's kind of like the bacteria they use for septic systems. We have some local manufacturers here in southern...
I just got this Australorp chick at our local Grange. I noticed she has white "dust" all over, her skin looks dry and her down is missing around her vent. My bf says I'm overreacting, but after i lost a girl this year because of my ignorance of chicken illness...i have to ask. He was thinking...
Hello, just curious about your blue and orange baby. I have one that looks similar and I'm afraid she is a he, because she's so beautiful. Did that one end up being a hen? Here's my babe. I noticed some curly tail feathers too.
I special ordered 4 banty chicks after I lost my Little Girl. Little Girl was an oegb and was the best girl. That's her in my profile pic showing off her cute legs :) So, Piglet arrived April 25 at 2 days old. I named them Peanut, Piglet, Skunker and Penny. I think it's fun to name the chicks...
Update on the babes. One of the black breasted is a male like bantamsrmyfav said. The other two have these tail feathers and are starting little wattle buds. Does this mean boys?
