@TudyBOT I'm not sure whats going on with my chicken. I think it's something in particular but then again I just need reassurance on what it could be. When I tried touching it she flinches. Finally got her comfortable and cradled and ran a Q-tip and dirt residue was on it. She eats constantly...
I didn't put I haven't done a treatment in a while. should I do that? I don't want to hurt her if it's like an open wound. If it is I would really like to disinfect it make sure it doesn't get infected. she hasn't laid in 2 years and recently, like 3 days now, has been laying.
Not sure exactly what this is, but I was just looking at the chickens and noticed my baby Bonnie (5 years old) has this black thing on her nail that protrudes out. When I tried to touch or almost slightly "pull" on it she pulled her foot away and tried to move away from me. I tried to get...
I have always buried my chickens in the ground. And then I put a plant or a planter on top of it. But the hole has to be deep and wide and ground pressed in. I put mulch in the area but that was a personal desire. But yes it does help with the garden and gives a proper burial for your babies...
My little Americauna, Julia, got attacked by a Pitt bull Friday morning. The rest of the day she hid from me and tried to stay in the dark. I switched her food to Medicated Chick Starter feed from Manna Pro and giving her lots of water. I have some antibiotics and pain reliever from my other...
Last egg was about a year ago. Vet thought she had egg producing issue. She got really sick and vet put her on meds. She's gotten a whollleeeee lot better more lively. Her diet is mainly fiber and protein. So she'll or calcium items. Could that be why?
I did the same thing, a couple different times both less than .1 She just eats something afterwards, no sure if that helps any but she seems to be fine after that. I'm switching back to putting it in eggs or a sprinkle of oats. Too scary to hurt my little nugget
I've had the same issue. I took my girl to the vet, they did a crop lavage, she did have impacted crop which then eventually damaged her reproductive organs and unable to lay. She takes GI tract liquid meds 3x a day with pain meds. If untreated or cleared, the crop will become pendulum and...
We've been doing a crop bra for her from Birdy Bra (Shoutout to Tobi for being amazing and helpful) and giving her homemade feed with sweet potato, mashed apples, oats, bananas, cabbage/kale leaves and Metamucil and sprinkled probiotic from the vet and she's on a medicine to help with GI track...
I wound up taking her to the exotic vet. They wound up doing xrays. They thought it was egg bound, but there's a mass in her reproductive organs. also a now stretched out crop. My poor baby. 😭
I provide regular hen laying feed, grit on the side, fresh water daily, and one recover 911 waterer with probiotics. I've given her yogurt daily, crushed garlic, did 1-2mL tomato juice 2-3x a day for 24 hours. No actual medication just homeopathic stuff. But every morning it is big even though...
