Gave her an Epson salt bath and tried to feel for an egg but didn't feel anything. She did have some yellowish/ white stuff come out.....maybe poop and I gave her some crushed tums in yogurt. She doesn't try to use her legs at all and had to prop her with alot of towels otherwise she falls back...
What kind of calcium supplement do you recommend? We do not have a vet that will look at chickens in my area but I'm willing to try whatever I can here at home. Shes in a homemade sling for now
I have an EE that is 10 months old, not laying. Yesterday she was fine and today she can't stand, walk, and she has a swollen back side. Her belly area feels swollen. She has eaten and drank and allows me to move her legs, lay her on her back and never makes a sound...any ideas? Her poop is...
I have a sick hen and want to make sure she is getting enough fluids. She isn't drinking or eating on her own and I'm giving her fluids with a syringe but how do I know if I've given her enough?
Should I attempt to push hard part of the beak back or leave it? Will it fall off? It's just flesh showing where he beak is gone
And how do I feed her, I softened oatmeal and she tries to peck at it but can't get any in her mouth
No idea, my guess is...they were all eating watermelon and maybe when she went to clean her beak it may have gotten caught on something
I've been out in the coop/run this morning looking and checking
I don't know what happened to my EE Blondie. As I was putting everyone to bed tonight she was already in the coop like this.
What can I do to help her?
My 19 week old EE Ms Robin has a swollen eye and bumps around her mouth. She doesn't smell and is eating alittle. Her breathing sounds stuffy but not congested. I put some neosporin around her eye....please help. I have 10 other chickens. Ms Robin is inside right now. I have read alot of people...
He is 18 weeks old. He is crowing and starting to check out his ladies. I've had him since day 1 and he never loved to be held. He always runs from me when I try to pet him, is there anything I can do to make him friendly? He doesn't attack me, he just keeps his distance.
