    Broken beak

    The frog was maybe the size of the tip of my thumb. We have a lot of new ones since the heavy rain last month.

    Broken beak

    She broke the tip off yesterday. I quickly isolated her and stopped the bleeding. I set up water and a mash for her. She tried to eat some but was not making contact. I tried to hand feed but that was a bust. She ate the frog(very small) a couple of hours ago and had a couple of very small cubes...

    Broken beak

    My girl, Gemma, managed to break the tip of her beak. I was not able to save it, and it fell off. She did bleed a bit, but I finally managed to get it to stop. She is isolated from the rest of the flock. She is also starting to molt. She is not really interested in food right now. She has had...

    Walking issues

    Hello, again! I have another hen with some issues. She is an almost 2 year old golden laced Wyandotte. I did treat this girl for bumblefoot a while back. She is eating, drinking, and acting normally. I have noticed that she is walking almost upright now. She is not egg bound and I haven't found...

    Stroke?

    Thanks. I haven't heard of that. Dixie and Louise both had similar symptoms, about a month apart. They went down and couldn't walk. Both were dead within 30 minutes of me finding them and were acting normal earlier in the day. I am sad to lose 2 good laying hens but I don't think I could have...

    Stroke?

    We have a tractor but it is away from their coop. They are never around it.

    Stroke?

    I just buried another hen today. I went out to check the flock again after letting them free range before supper. Dixie was fine, free ranging and dust bathing with the other girls. I did not see her get into anything that would be bad for her. She stayed close to the coop. When I checked on...

    Dead hen

    South Carolina. I have already buried her. I now know that Clemson Extension is the resource to contact in the future. Thanks for the kind words. She was a special girl and a true lap chicken.

    Dead hen

    I did try to check for mites/lice. Didn't see anything moving on her or in the coop. I did do a complete clean today. Removed all bedding and scrubbed down nesting boxes, floor, and roosting bars with vinegar mixed with hot water. Made sure to dry everything before throwing down some PDZ and...

    Dead hen

    I had part of my dynamic duo Thelma and Louise pass away yesterday. Louise was fine yesterday morning and mid-day. We let them out to free range later in the day and I noticed that she was just laying there, not moving much. She was mouth breathing and her comb and wattles were pale pink. She...

    Possible spraddle leg?

    I doesn't look that severe but she would favor one leg and splay the other. I have b vitamin complex liquid that I can give her. It is for humans. I also made a vet wrap hobble for her last night. She is standing on both legs now. She was not a fan at first but seems to be comfortable enough...

    Chick name ideas!

    My Dixie is a Columbian Wyandotte. She is the ring leader of the trouble makers😂. At a whopping 6 days old she has lots of personality.

    Chick name ideas!

    We have Gemma, Opal, Pearl, Amelia Egghart, Bonnie, Clarabelle, Daisy, Ethel, Dixie, Lucille, Ruby (RIP), Thelma, Louise, Ginger, Blanche. Tyrannosaurus Pecks (T pecks) and Count Cluckula for roosters. I like old-fashioned names for my girls 🤷‍♀️.

    Possible spraddle leg?

    I have a batch of chicks that hatched Monday. They arrived on Tuesday. I lost my Welsummer chick and I am worried about my little cream legbar. She is so tiny. She seems to have a good appetite. She will eat and drink but likes to stay under the brooder plate. I have noticed that she seems sort...

    Weak chick

    Thanks! I had a momentary breakdown. It is just hard to lose them. I get attached easily and these feathered friends bring a lot of joy to my life. I should be used to it as a former vet tech but it never gets any easier, especially when they are yours.
