    Gasping hen and bloated begin leg area…why?

    Thank you so much! I thought of Ascites, but would that be more the front of her belly? Like, under her crop? This girl is swollen behind her legs. Unfortunately a vet isn’t an option…we live super rurally with a chronic deficiency in all things vet related! The nearest farm vet is about 3...

    Gasping hen and bloated begin leg area…why?

    One more thing to add, I looked down her throat to see if she really was choking, but I couldn’t see anything abnormal.

    Gasping hen and bloated begin leg area…why?

    Hello all! I hope you are well. Thank you in advance for any help! About a week ago I noticed my four year old Welsummer panting. It was a bit of a hot day so I didn’t think anything of it. But, she hasn’t stopped panting and it has progressed into a more, ‘gasping for breath’ kind of thing...

    Paralyzed cockerel, can’t figure it out!

    Thank you so much! Me too. It always has to be the favorites, doesn’t it? 😅 Out of 140 new chicks, the one guy I was most excited for gets injured. Trying to do all I can for him!

    Paralyzed cockerel, can’t figure it out!

    Thank you so much for your help! He lost two toe tips on one foot, and I think will lose another tip on the other foot this week. It seems to be healing well, and he definitely is moving his toes and foot more since losing the tips. Maybe it isn’t as painful anymore. But the joint where the...

    mareks was definitely at the front of my mind. But he is completely normal other than the lameness - great appetite, active, droppings are fine, etc. it has been about 3 weeks, and my other 140 members of the flock have shown no odd symptoms or any out of the ordinary. So I’m really hoping…

    Paralyzed cockerel, can’t figure it out!

    Thank you! I really appreciate your reply. I do have him in a sling, which he has been very stubborn about staying in and typically flaps out of it 😅 But I think I outsmarted him and changed the design a bit, so he stays in it now. It could be possible he was injure by another cockerel, I have...

    Paralyzed cockerel, can’t figure it out!

    I really appreciate your reply! I’m so sorry to hear about your boy…goodness, I would hate to euthanize him but have been considering it. Before this happened he was my only chicken that would NEVER stop running. 😭 I wish he could do that again, but I will definitely do what’s best for him!

    Paralyzed cockerel, can’t figure it out!

    Hello! I have five month old cockerel that turned up lame about three weeks ago. He couldn’t walk or stand and he wasn’t moving his legs at all. I checked him over and I don’t think his legs are broken, no swelling or cuts, everything looks normal. I brought him inside and immediately...

    A crop problem. Next steps?

    Perfect, thank you so much. I will start that now. Because she isn’t eating and so is rapidly losing weight and starting to get listless, should I tube feed her some egg yolk, or food?

    A crop problem. Next steps?

    Thank you so much! I didn’t see any grass in her poop. And she didn’t perk up too much, about the same. I will definitely do that, thank you! How much do I give her?
