Should I soak her in some warm water and some Epson salt to clean the wound?

Thank you!

Hey! So I was just completing my first health check in a while on my flock and I found what appears to be an old open wound (most likely caused by my roo) on the side of one of my hens. It seems to have been there for a while and I just feel terrible that I didn’t find it sooner! The skin around...

Thank you! I’ll try that.

Hi! My one year old Welsh Harlequin duck Layla’s vent looks really strange and gross. It’s almost like there’s stuff right inside of it radiating around it (it’s isn’t protruding abnormally I just gently pulled around it so you could see in the picture). It looks like greenish chunks but I don’t...

Okay. Thanks!

So I tried fermenting some grower feed for my chickens. It’s been a few days and I opened the lid to check on it to find that it smells very strongly, almost like cheese. It kind of smells like vomit. I’ve read that this means I should toss it, but the feed itself doesn’t look rancid or moldy to...

So the vet came and luckily she says that it is unlikely that Penny had Mareks. She has no neurological issues or other symptoms and really no apparent reason not to stand properly. She doesn’t even seem to be in pain. So, we think she’s just in a weird growth phase where her pelvis is causing...

Thanks!

Okay, thanks! The vet is coming tonight and we’ll see what she says

Hi there! My silver laced Wyandotte chick Penelope, who is a few weeks over a month old, seems to have developed some sort of balance issue. Her center of balance is very low, and she tends to lean back on her shanks and hock joints a lot, to the point where she sometimes ends up toppling...

Cool, thanks!

Thanks for helping me out! One more thing…will Biscuit ever grow in a beard or head tuft or anything, or is she going to be a beardless/muffless EE?

This is Camille, my ‘Easter egger.’ Lol I’m beginning to think that this little lady is my Orloff after all.

Yeah, that’s possible. One of my Easter eggers has some spangling on her chest, though she does have more of a light brown/greyish colour not the Orloff dark brown. I picked Biscuit up from Performance Poultry in Prince Edward County, Ontario. I’ll email them about it.

I’ve attached some pictures of my new baby girl Biscuit. Biscuit is an energetic and very loud little chick. She’s over three weeks old now and lives with two baby Easter eggers and a Wyandotte of the same age with no problems. She is a pretty dark brown in colour with no spangling yet that I...

No, she has already been buried 🌈

I’m so sorry everyone, but Rhody has passed. I’m not at my home with her at the moment and it breaks my heart by my grandmother held her in her arms during Rhody’s final moments and she died peacefully feeling loved. I don’t think there was anything we could have done at that point. My vet got...

My hen, Rhody, has a hard and distended abdomen. My vet checked her out shortly afterwards and prescribed her some meds. A few days later, I left to vacation at my cottage and left some reliable family taking care of Rhody. Unfortunately, she has stopped eating and drinking and has become very...

Wow, that’s amazing! Lucky chickens 👏🏻
