    Worms/maggots/other bugs on my chicken

    Thanks for the info. Ya’ll Rick! Unfortunately, it was too late for my poor girl. I was dealing with an illness outbreak in my flock at the time (did not know what), and I am sure that is why she got the flystrike. She died that afternoon and I am traumatized from dealing with the maggots...

    Close call!

    We almost burned down the whole coop last night. Our coop is on skids so it can be moved around the pasture/yard. My husband moved the coop, settled everything including looking for late eggs, and closed up the coop. We have had heat lamps in the coop during the coldest part of the winter...

    Need to know breed and sex for sure - 4 months

    I purchased day old chicks (arrived sept 2) and they definitely looked like little chicks, so I am guessing last day or two of August. So, call it Sept 1. So, that is 16 weeks. I was surprised by the comb and wattles because none of my other chickens have anything close. So it is still a toss...

    Dog attack on chicken

    okay, in a dark bathroom, on a towel, nice poop in the tub so that is good (or bad depending on who is cleaning the tub). But that means vent and internals working okay. I am hesitant to put anything on the injury in the interest of keeping the wound clean and clear for the vet. I also did...

    So, there are no vets in my area (Augusta GA) that are open tonight. I will take her to a vet for repair in the AM. What should I do tonight for her? I have her in the bathtub in the bathroom. Should I wrap her in a towel? Should I put a folded towel down for her to sit on? I am thinking...
