    Other hens hanging out with broody hen and chicks

    So, my araucana has reached day 21 and so far 2 eggs have hatched (she had 4 left). My little pekin bantam (who is her friend and has also raised chicks) decided she’d sit in the coop next to her and just hang out..? When I went to check on the hen and eggs to see if anymore had hatched my...

    What does my chicken have?????

    Hi there, thank you for your lovely comment. I think my over-the-too chicken husbandry was what kept my other girls lucky enough to not catch what Henrietta, my sick chook, had. I had isolated her so she could recover with her leg but unfortunately her sneezing and gasping returned and I booked...

    What does my chicken have?????

    Better and not sneezing anymore but she has a limp badly (her left leg) so she’s back inside to recover from that as she can hardly walk. Feels like if it’s not one thing it’s another with her unfortunately

    What does my chicken have?????

    Thank you, I didn’t know I could give fish antibiotics to chickens. Good to know. She a pullet, not laying yet and I’m unsure of weight. I agree likely a respiratory infection, just not sure why others didn’t get sick whatsoever (chickens are from different people too so should’ve been likely...

    What does my chicken have?????

    I have had my first three chickens for a month now and still only once chicken is sick/ill. She (a lavender araucana pullet) was initially separated for a week and a half due to sneezing, gasping/gaping, a foul odour and lethargy. She was taken to the vet (who didn’t deal with chickens, none...

    Lavender Araucana pullet sneezing, clear discharge from nostril, open mouth breathing - otherwise okay.

    Not 100% sure about feeding to other animals. If you garden though you can bury them with plants and give your plants some nutrients.

    Lavender Araucana pullet sneezing, clear discharge from nostril, open mouth breathing - otherwise okay.

    I ended up taking her to the vet and got some oxytetracycline hydrochloride medicine. She’s isolated in a big dog cage in the laundry and already seems to be doing a lot better. She’s still sneezing a bit and open mouth breathing here and there but isn’t wheezing or as noisy. This morning (I...

    Hi everyone!

    My partner absolutely loves them and he was the one who convinced me to get one many years ago now. I fell in love and now that we have two, they are so amazing with our son (best friends), and are awesome with our new chickens. Great to meet you @penny1960 and lovely to find someone else who...

    Lavender Araucana pullet sneezing, clear discharge from nostril, open mouth breathing - otherwise okay.

    Hi all, So I received two Araucana pullets the other day. After getting them home I noticed the lavender pullet was sneeze/coughing on and off (the other was not). I bought some Triple C antibiotic ( https://www.planetpoultry.com.au/healthcare/68-triple-c-vetafarm.html) and have been putting it...

    No eggs, but hen and pullets are are in and out of the coop all day. Also how do I get them to love me?

    Hi all, So it's winter in Australia at the moment and we've been having some cold and windy days. My three new chickens are black bantam Araucana pullet, lavender Araucana pullet and an isa x wyandotte hen. Nobody is laying, but they spend the majority of the day eating scratch, foraging on...

    Hi everyone!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Kind of and kind of not. My grandmother had a pet isa brown called 'Chookie' who jumped the fence one day and decided my grandparents were her 'people'. I had a bit of experience with her. My in-laws also own chicken and over the...
