I have a similar issue. My roo is a big white orpington, not yet a year. I was told it is a dislocated or ruptured gastrocnemius ligament. This is why the foot is turning out, this ligament keeps the stability of the hock (?) joint and keeps the foot straight. I gently pull the leg back and...

And this morning, I have a new member of my flock!

Since I didn't see a lot of posts about this, I'll share my journey in progress. This egg is from two Orps I have, who are quite large. The eggs I get are quite larger than an XL store bought egg and the chicks are also on the large size. Since I thought I had time, I left the egg to turn...

Hi, I have a clutch of eggs I found in the secret spot from one of my ladies in various stages of development. 🤦‍♀️ One of them, a larger one, has its air sac dead center on the side, not detached. I think were at day 9 (?) I've searched BYC and found some old posts on side air cells, but...

Can anyone offer some info...? I have 2 NR 360, days 1'18 I kept the humidity at 55 day 18 I raised it to 75 and then day 19 lowered it to 69. This is all based on I do not live in a humid state and this is what the instructions on the NR 360 say... My question is, what is everyone else doing...

This thread is a few months old, but looking for information. Tgis is my first hatch. I have 2 NR 360 'bators. I have shipped eggs I let settle for 24 hours and then set. Per the instructions and sorting through the confusion of reading where the temp and humidity should be, the first 18...

Too cute... like the most windswept!

Yes, I'm going to call them and see what they say or can recommend. Im in NJ where most everything is expensive... lol

The vet said sometimes they get wet pox or dry pox. She had wet, all down her esophagus and on the roof of her mouth. Her tongue had become misshapen and necrotic. She said it wasn't uncommon to not see dry pox on the chicken. Im hoping she ate 'hot debris' and got wet pox and didn't pass it...

I did some research.. I cleaned out everything in the run, raked up the poo, feathers, sticks and soforth. I put down sand. I cleaned out the bedding in the coop and washed down all the perches- I then disinfected everything with a bleach solution and let it sit for 10 mins and then washed it...

First, many thanks to everyone who was kind and helpful to me. Im a first time chicken mom and trying to set a good example for my girls. Unfortunately, Weezy passed away earlier today. I found a vet far away, she wasn't getting better and she was just languishing. My kids were upset and I...

The cheese stuff doesn't seem to smell. I've been smelling her beak to see if there has been any odor and I dont really smell anything terrible. I have only the powder Tylan, I asked for the injectable and didnt get, but will try to get now Honestly she is young to begin with and has very...

Peeps on this thread. My Tylan showed up and it's in powdered form. She is not drinking except the little bit by syringe. (Where before she was) How can I make the tylan injectable or is there something else I can do? Thank you! I gave her the tylan 50, diluted in water as said and got her to...

Thank you. Today is not going well. She was hanging in there, I was syringe feeding her liquid food and water with vitamins. Today she is listliss, drooping her head, not eating or drinking. Im giving her bits of fluids but not very much. We are sitting in the sun and she is making happy...

Yes, I spent a half a day researching the dosage... and what i found is - there is no hard and true answer. However after the hours of reading, 1cc or 1 mL for a 5 lb chicken every other day for 2 weeks seems to have good results. If after 2 weeks there is a relapse, continue for another 1-2...

Update: she is still tired and lethargic. Again, a little worse but not yet horrible. While I'm waiting for tylan, I gave her some liquamicin 200, (orally for tonight) electrolights and Vet Rx on her beak. I syringed her some water very slowly with the electrolytes. She doesn't like to bend...

Thanks aart, but im on my phone and it doesn't give me those options. I tried, but I can't find where to update my profile to state where I'm from. I'm in Central NJ.

I ordered the Tylosin from 2 places to see where I can get it from first. I couldn't find it anywhere local without a vet visit. Ill get some electrolytes and keep her warm and separated. Anything else? Her crop is empty, she's not eating. She's trying to drink, but she starts to sneeze and...

Sorry, I did the best I could by myself. I didn't want to upset her and have her gape even more.
