    Hey there! Thought it was about time I put something on my page! I'm Sam...."HI"! I live with my husband and family in a small village called Framfield, East Sussex, UK....and I adore animals of all different shapes and sizes :) Think it comes from growing up on a farm and then working at a...

    Lethargic chicken with lump on her back

    I don't want to say the word but it could be a tumour Or just a defect she's always had. It it just popped up out of nowhere then I'd say it's likely an injury. Vitamins are a good idea. You could also try some ACV in the water or Pro biotic yoghurt for a little extra kick. Egg bound hens...

    Swollen around the ear!

    It shouldn't hurt them no but I would separate your little one if planning to treat with antibiotics as they can quickly build up an immunity to the use of antibiotics and they may not be as affective if/when you really need them. There have also been rare cases of chickens having reactions to...

    Broken talon?

    Hi there, going with the splint idea (if you can catch her!) stretchy horse bandage works great for attaching as it's adhesive only to itself and easy to alter / remove or reuse! Also works well cut into a narrow strip and wrapped round for chicks with spraddle leg....in case anyone's...

    What the heck is this illness??? HELP Please!!

    Hi there, sorry to hear your girls have the sneezes! I'm afraid I don't have any information regarding the use of antibiotics as I have (touch wood!) so far never needed it. I would however say that if your chickens seem otherwise happy and healthy that I wouldn't expose them to more...

    Please help!

    Thanks everyone! We've got a routine going now, he comes out so I can help him have a clean up by being a leaning post and catching him when he goes off balance (it's quite cute really but also sad that he can't clean his feathers without falling over). He tried going for a little wander through...

    Please help!

    Thank you so much! I will start on research straight away. It can't hurt at least. He's on growers pellets at the moment and usually out on grass but being a booted breed with his legs being so bad and it being so wet out at the minute I've moved him indoors on shavings and also am letting him...

After much improvement my poor little boy has gone downhill, things were looking good and it seemed that the injury had been the cause of his shakes but last night the shaking was noticeable again and when putting him back in the run he falls over , he does walk...

    Please help!

    I was wondering if anyone could help me!? Last week I noticed one of my 8 week old Sablepoots was shaking and hobbling around, I picked him up and he was bleeding from where he'd broken one of the feathers on his foot. I cleaned him up and treated with antiseptic and seemed fine a little while...

    Newbie looking for info and advice on Silkies....Marek's etc

    I'm not quite sure if I'm posting this in the right section...hope I'm not wasting anyone's time. I have never kept silkies before and recently got given one by a breeder when collecting my day old Sablepoots. The reason for the chick donation was that it had a bad leg and hobbled around (I...
