My buttercup cross is the one between the Cochin feet. That little chick made it all the way up 5 1/2 feet to the high roost before she was even feathered. The prednaseca chicks I have my pure bred buttercup raising won’t roost yet. Buttercup Mom been trying to get them to for more than a week...
I have check her droppings so many times never saw them before. I feel like such a bad chicken mom. I guess I made the right choice in throwing the kitchen sink of crop treatments at her.
Thank you for that link and all the advice
Today I’m going to work on turning the child sized mask into a better fitting crop bra.
I couldn’t find her this morning out in the yard was worried but she popped up and was NOT wanting to let me pick her up! She seems to feel better than yesterday...
Simone letting me know she wants to hop up and Simone doing her best parrot impression. In my opinion they are great for free ranging smart and tolerant of the extreme Texas heat.
Wow my buttercup lays nearly daily and is my smartest chicken! She is very bossy and comes up to the door checks all the windows until she see someone to beg. Not for treats but to be let into the garage which is her favorite place to lay her eggs. She is always talking in her weird little voice...
Thank you. I have read that article before. Her crop at times is completely blown up like water balloon. It’s mostly very large and mushy. If I support it with my hand and raise it up it begins to empty. She does it herself as well by laying down a certain way and manipulating her neck and...
She has always had brittle oddly curved feathers and was the only chick that got coccidossis symptoms this summer. Today she was leaking water again from her beak which happened also 2 weeks ago. Today I gave her ducolax. I have tried monistat before but I don’t believe she was getting the right...
Can I dose my chicken with non stimulant stool softener and yeast cream together? I’m really having issues with the chick and have only been able to improve but not clear her crop issue. How many days should I give her ducolax for ?
I just looked into it and some austrlops lay a rose brown speckled egg. I think that is why my turken lays that color she is not a pure NN and she has beautiful green tinted black feathers. I would take a picture of the egg but she isn’t laying she’s got a clutch.
This is my special little chick. She was from my first ever hatch in may. She was normal at first. She got repeated bouts of cocci when her hatch mates never had any symptoms. I treated them all several times. She now has had chronic pendulous crop for months and nothing I’ve tried so far has...
I have a half blind Odin too! Mine is an older gentleman I got when he was around 2 retired from a small scale breeder. He had been in a fight with an up and comer cockerel and lost a good portion of his sight in the eye. Luckily he is still great at watching over the ladies. He has lots of room...
