Still not 100% but definately better. Did direct dose her yesterday and today as advised by a post on here and dosing the whole bunch...

    Cocci in 6 week old chick. DOSE ADVICE PLEASE

    Is that ok to do? I was a bit worried about giving them to much tbh. I've popped her back with the others, she misses the company. I have one that it just droopy and no appetite really. Drinking ok and no dodgy poop. The others are their usual mad selves, racing to their food, clamouring to...

    Cocci in 6 week old chick. DOSE ADVICE PLEASE

    Morning, we rescued some chicks that were the same age as our hatch give or take a day or two recently due to their broody being nabbed by a fox. I am pretty sure one has cocci (and therefore the whole lot). Really droopy and sorry for herself, not much appetite. Is lively when I get her out...

    Rescues - endless health problems - scaly leg, sun burn and prolpase vent

    Hello, So the prolapse was intact and we have managed to get it to go back and stay. I am checking her 3 times a day, ensuring she is clean and and if it pops out to ease it back gently. It has been staying put for increasingly longer time frames, the best being 18hours and counting today. We...

    Rescues - endless health problems - scaly leg, sun burn and prolpase vent

    Hi, So following my last post late last week the lady on the other allotment has finally relinquished her 4 poor birds to us. One bird is 2 /3 bald with what appears to be wicked sunburn which has caused her skin to dry and and harden over the feather follicles. Many feathers are growing under...

    Query Prolapsed Vent

    Thank you. You have confirmed my thoughts, I didn't want to jump in and be totally wrong. I am hoping do. The local council are trying to get her to hand them over to me or the RSPCA. No some people shouldn't keep chickens or any animals. We have tried to help her and have done all sorts to...

    Question

    I've just popped a lone chick from a hatch under my broody old pekin bantam this morning and they are very settled together. So much better than him hiding in my sons hood all night long 🙈. I'm keeping them in for a few days to be sure but once they are definitely ok I'll pop them out in the...

    Single chick popping under a broody hen

    Thank you for the advice, no sign of any aggression from my lovely girl and the chick is happily peeping to her, climbing on her and snuggling in. The old lady is burbling away to it. Both eating and drinking without issue. Kind of sweet really.

    Single chick popping under a broody hen

    Advice please lovely people. I had a rubbish hatch from shipped eggs and had a single chick hatch, he gets very distressed when left alone so I thought I could try him with one of my girls. One of my pekin bantams is broody, she's an old lady but not given to being stroppy. So I bought her in...

    Doofus chicken! What to do?

    So after worrying myself silly all night I got up early and tried to help the wee one. Sadly to late, perfectly formed, everything absorbed etc 😢 The membrane had wrapped him I think as it had pulled away from the inside of the shell so I am guessing the hatching humidity is to low? I have...

    Doofus chicken! What to do?

    So my leghorn bantams are on day 20 nearly day 21. Over night on day 20 the attached egg pipped and then some. We woke up to this today, so it's been like it roughly 10 to 16 hours. My concern is the colour (why is there a black patch) and the position. We marked the air cells at the end of day...
