This is one of the most awesome chicken purchases we have ever made! It’s the closest thing to being under a mommy hen we have found. The chicks we raised were much more content with this brooder heater and it was much safer than the lamps and mounted lights we had tried previously.
My leghorn hen’s comb is torn loose on top of her head and bleeding. It’s sagging over her eye, causing her to scratch at it and further traumatize it. I’ve separated her from the others. Have hen balm and that purple medicine. I’m sure it would hurt to trim it out of her eye.. can’t imagine she...
Thanks....she's been indoors since she became ill...I will see if I can get the coconut oil in her. Then will try the monistat. She's just a mixed breed but very sweet and I hope to save her.
My 5 month old hen had sour crop 3 days ago. After massage, she expelled a lot of sour liquid. The past 2 days, I have massaged and a bit more liquid came from her beak. She is drinking and eating very little, getting weaker. I'm wondering if something is blocking the food from passing through...
