Crop is fine. They are fed mainly layers pellets. None of the other symptoms you've mentioned. I've just googled vent gleet, her vent is messy as she has been mainly sitting for a few days, but no discharge. I'll bath her today. I'll get a photo of her. Thanks for your help. Sam
Hi, my chicken has been ill for a couple of days, she didn't move much at at all today, just sat in the coop.
She has very bright yellow poo, treating with Amprolium as thought it may have been Cocccidiosis.
She is sitting quite high, with a low tail. She is not egg bound, I checked for this...
18 months, he's been lovely until now, we had him from a chick. I've actually put him in a smaller run next to the main run. I'll keep him in for a week or so, then try him again, if he's still bad, he'll have to stay in there for a couple of month until they are fully grown.
Well, I locked him in a cage inside the hen run, for 5 days. New hens get on totally fine with original hens.
He's just the same corners them, and just really aggressive continually pecks them. I have a hen house with a smallish run, that they are in at night, free range through the day...
Thanks for your reply. He's normally such a softy, so I was really surprised he attacked the new hens. But I'll isolate him for a few days in the run and hopefully that will help.
Hi,
I have 7 mixed hens and one young Polish cockerel (18 month) I got 4 new POL hens around a week ago, one which didn't look too healthy. Had them in a separate run next to other run. Let them free range together after a couple of days, a few pecks from my ex battery hens, but nothing too...
They are coming up to 9 weeks now. The one I was hoping was a pullet seems to have a lot of red going on now. Second photo, hoping is pullet, it's top feathers are looking more rounded. Any ideas?
Hi, my 2 chicks are coming up to 6 weeks old, I'm just moving them over onto growers pellets from crumb. Just discovered 3 eggs today some Mum has started to lay. Will they all be okay on growers pellets? Mum is happy in with chicks still. Also I have a lot of chick crumb left, should I...
Yours seem to have feathered up a lot better than mine! First two photos of one chick boy?? And second chick photos 3 and 4 girl?? Second chick has much longer tail and small we puff! But first chicks feathers although long are quite round, I've no idea!
Hi, the chicks are 2weeks old on Wednesday/Thursday. She has been out a bit more the last 2 days, it's raining now, so she's gone inside, I'm not too worried about her now.
