    Checking frequency for sick or injured chickens

    I need to know about all these healthy chi chis! I’ve had a few with EYP and it’s so sad. Of course they are always the ones that love me and cuddle.

    Checking frequency for sick or injured chickens

    Makes sense! I feel like I over checking on EYP or internal issues, but I gash on the wing? They are good to go! Thank you for sharing

    Checking frequency for sick or injured chickens

    This sounds like what I do. But I also have cameras that I sometimes over check! 😵‍💫

    Checking frequency for sick or injured chickens

    That makes sense! I have a problem with possibly over checking, so I was curious to see what others did.

    Checking frequency for sick or injured chickens

    I’m curious to see where other chicken tenders stand on checking on your feathered friends when they are sick or injured. Do you check every hour? A few times a day? Does it depend on the illness? Do you have a “if x then y” type system?

    1+ Rooster - Lost Balance seemingly overnight

    I’m so sorry for your losses. You just want to do all you can for them. Have you given them b vitamins?

    1+ Rooster - Lost Balance seemingly overnight

    Happy Thanksgiving all! I have a 1 year plus Salmon Favorelle rooster, John Stamos, who broke his wing over the summer mating some of the girls. Poor guy. It healed poorly and he can no longer use it. Until recently he was doing well. Still mating (or trying to) with one wing. Roosting and...

    EYP or Salpingitis Strikes Again (Possibly)

    Jan will be 3 this May. Yes. The other who passed was raised with Jan and 4 guinea hens. Yes!!! How did you know they had wrinkly egg shells!? It was only a few times, but I remember thinking, “hmm that’s weird!” It was usually just the top pointy bit. I am sorry to hear about your young...

    EYP or Salpingitis Strikes Again (Possibly)

    Hi all! I’m back with another case of EYP/Salp. 1/4 of my Lav Orps has already passed from it. It’s heartbreaking. I’d rather they never lay another egg if it keeps them safe. Anyway. Janice was dealing with this last fall. I was treating with Baytril and was saying my goodbyes. Her...

    On the fence on treating with Corid

    I was hoping I’d hear from you! Thank you @Eggcessive! Fingers crossed the deworming helps, but I’ll dose with Corid as well! This is the second one like that so I appreciate your expertise!

    On the fence on treating with Corid

    I’ve had cocci before with chicks. Treated with corid - everyone was great. Flock is: 2 “littles” 4 months. Barnyard mix from our hen and roo. Acting normal 1 BO who is about 5 she’s acting fine. Head hen and currently mounting everyone 🙈 3 lav orps - 2 years. Vaccinated for Mateo’s and...

    Rooster Help - Aggressive or Just Learning

    This is so great to hear! We ultimately rehomed both roos. The Brahma was absolutely WONDERFUL. It broke my heart to see him go, but he was so big he was hurting my girls. Now he has 16 ladies to love 🩷 He also was able to have babies. So his genes live on in the flock. Things sound good...

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Thank you! I’m hoping it’s just trauma from the spurs and not something more nefarious. Hopefully the extra tlc will help her heal.

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Thank you! Do you think vetericyn would suffice? I thought the recently backtracked on blukote for not being approved for any food animals eggs or otherwise. I used it before for Bumblefoot and thought it helped

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Didn’t notice an air hole and no oozing. That seems like a good sign. Especially after being submerged. I don’t think I want to cut one open. I’m not experienced enough, and I definitely don’t have enough pain medicine for her to do that. Never thought of warts. The feather cyst could be...

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Wow! Thank you! These are things I should have thought about. These are relatively new as I haven’t been as hands on as I have a newborn. I did not touch these today, but the one on the middle back is hard. The feather shaft was poking me because it was rubbing up against it. When cleaning...

    Do chickens really like to be held?

    I genuinely think some of mine really do. They will “purr” and have fallen asleep on me. Some will come to me only for protection and others only for treats, but I do have two that I truly think come just for cuddles.
