Appreciate the reply (and missed original notification), unfortunately she didn't make. 💔
Definitely a bummer, but thankfully nobody else in the flock appear to have any symptoms or issues.
Been up and down, sat with her a long while this evening with a few different options (grubterra, scrambled eggs, tomato slices), a few small nibbles.
We've done 2 doses of nutridrench last two days...very lethargic and low energy. We had nice weather today so had her out in a grassy area to get...
Thank you for checking in! About the same today, maybe a bit more lethargic 😔
She ate a little scrambled eggs last night and made her some fresh ones this morning with some yogurt, but didn't peak much interest.
Amazon dropped off our nutridrench a couple hours and gave her a dose then.. how...
About the same.. curtently relaxed and sleepy eyed in the epsom bath, lol.
There is 10% and 20%, can I go either one? Think I'm going to have to order it online either way but hopefully gets here quickly
Thank you for the reply! Do you prefer liquid or powder amprolium? Im looking to see if can find it local (never purchased it before).
Will try some other foods too and see if that helps! I have strawberry greek yogurt in the fridge so will give that a shot.
Hi all,
I have a sick girl (Ellie) in my flock. She is an Easter Egger and roughly 3 years old.
About a week ago noticed runny poo/dirty bum feathers and also know she has not laid an egg in probably 10 days. She has a distinctive darker green that none of my other girls lay.
About that week ago...
Hi! A few new someones are laying in my flock. aWe have 3 currently laying pretty routinely (the light and dark green eggs) but trying to guess who these recent egg colors belong too - the light brown orange ish and the purple pink.
Of the 5 newest to be laying include these breeds:
Sapphire...
Five babies I am hoping are girls, were purchased from Rural King on 11/22.
They were listed as:
1. Sapphire Gem
2. Golden Comet
3. Silver Laced Wyandotte
4. Cinnamon Queen
5. Sapphire Gem
Thank you both! The picture with the outline is what I needed, because I kept looking at their neck feathers.
So it's the darkening spots into a point, not necessarily the individual feather?
They are pretty friendly boys, think they will keep this personality or will they get more aggressive...
These two (hopefully) ladies were sold to me as Easter Eggers and are about 14 weeks old. Would be my first EEs and curious if correct. Has anyone gotten any fun egg colors from EEs?
The lighter one (with a mohawk?, lol) , first in the picture line up, her name is Elaine and her darker sister...
Update on these two!
Grey (Janet) has reddened quite a bit more.
Brown (Henrietta) still more of a pink, than a red, but has gotten fairly large. He is pretty friendly and doesn't mind being picked up.
A prior poster had said his neck feathers are sex linked, what does that mean exactly that so...
An update.. She (believe she's a she) is about 4.5 weeks now and seems to be doing much better. Less wobbly, more stable, still smaller than the other 4 but not as drastic of a difference. Eating and drinking regularly.
Haven't had pasty butt in a couple weeks, so hoping she's going to pull...
Thank you for posting!
She's been doing slightly better, eating and drinking a bit more, but still avslow grower and a bit topsy turvey.
Her vent looks to be having ongoing pasty butt, or maybe even vent gleek? This is a first for me and just going off some googling research.
We've been adding...
It's a fairly large plastic storage tub, and only the one side stays above 90, the other is low 80s but I don't think any of them really venture over to that side yet - at least not for long. Can tell by minimal poop and overall less mess, haha.
Going to try grinding up the food, she does seem...
Hi!
A week ago 11/23 had picked up 5 baby chicks all said to be couple days old from Rural King - all very similar size when purchased:
Sapphire Gem x2
Cinnamon Queen
Silver Laced Wyandotte
Golden Comet (I think is what they called her?) - is the mini
Couple photos of her and the cinnamon...
Hi again! I've been trying to google more information about the sex-specific feathering but only articles I keep finding is checking the feathers within their first day or two. Wondering if you have any websites or info can share about this to help learn more ways to distinguish girls vs boys?
