    Vent gleet? Frost bite? please help

    The hardest part of raising animals :hit Next time, if temps and wind chill get this low, I will keep the coop door closed and put some safe hiding spots in there for the lower pecking order hens so they can't get booted outside. Thank you again.

    Vent gleet? Frost bite? please help

    Thank you. Since bringing her in, her whole comb has turned purple. I've tried giving her electrolyte water with sugar, but she is not making any kind of swallowing motion after syringing it. Also, when I open her mouth to give her the water, it seems like there is clear stringy mucus looking...

    Vent gleet? Frost bite? please help

    Hey, I'll try to make this quick. Our chickens had worms recently. Several of them had poopy feathers because of it. We treated for worms.

    Soft eggs

    I looked at the Tilly's nest website from the reference from your response to the original moderator. I don't feel that it's vent gleet at this time until I examine her further, I just wanted to know in case that's what it turned out to be. And I agree with you, the white stuff does not resemble...

    Unsure on breed AND gender?!

    Hey, everyone! I purchased 5 supposedly Rhode Island Red straight run from Tractor Supply. However, I think it may have been a bin of various "leftover" chicks that all looked similar. They are now about 9 weeks old. 2 of them are RIR for sure. 1 could be. The last two...I have no idea. They...

    What's Your Chicken's Favorite Hangout Spot?

    Calling out to everyone to post their chickens' all time favorite hangout spots! Crazy, chic, or one you wish you had yourself! I have a ninebark bush in my chicken run that has weeping branches, and my flock of 18 pullets and cockrells have established it as the new "hangout" spot. You...

    I'm so very sorry :hugsBut I have hope you can win them all over, and win the other ones back. Even if it takes a year. The advice on this thread has been amazing.
