I loved this chicken coop and all the re-use of materials, need the final pics

My neighbors chicken is making really weird noises, almost like it was crying/wheezing both when breathing in and out just started about hour or so ago. It is about 20 weeks, close to laying to start. Any ideas or suggestions on what to do? We put in box in the dark to try and calm her down...

No problem with pasty butt. The one we brought in is eating and drinking good, but unable to stand or walk. What can cause a chicken to quit walking. What options. DH wants to cull. All the rest of the chickens I see are eating and drinking as were the ones that died at least right up until...

We got 12 baby chicks, After about a week found one dead in coop when I came home from work a week ago. I was concerned about it heading out as it was huddling under light. Today hubby came home and found another one dead, again this am as I was running out was huddling under light but when...

DH had to cull her this morning. Last night she was flopping on the ground when he went to close up the coops, he would have taken care of her last night but it was sooo late and he couldn't just break her neck and I was out cold from allergy medicine to help the other way by holding light, we...

We had one of our chickens attacked by a dog couple years ago. The bite was really deep and down to the bone. We put in small kennel. Clean wound daily with nolvasan or other type of liquid disinfectant, most feed stores have something. We then applied Watkins Petro carbo salve or wound ointment...

Evening update, so DH put Wazine in water while she was outside. She is now in second coop with chicken that somehow dislocated let, still haven't figured what she got leg caught on, she is walking better and crowing to get outside and with the other chicks, unfortunately they are still...

Couple things I have seen is could be the boredom, or just the top chicken asserting their authority and the others following suit, but I see a lot in birds if there is a sick one all the rest will attack as a sick bird can attract predators (in the wild), hence birds will tend to "hide" their...

We had our Americana attacked and she had her butt tore wide open to the bone. We daily cleansed with Nolvasan which you mix with water til you get a nice light blue color. Don't need a lot, I see all the time at Menards. After the cleansing we put on Watkins petro carbo salve or neomicin...

DH stopped and checked up on her this pm. She was walking but drunkenly, he let her in the yard and she is eating. I had him give her some Wazine and dust with DE as precautions. He gave her some corn which she ate. But still don't have a clue as to what is happening. Help

Hi not sure what is going on but as I was leaving for work my Americana was flopping around and holding head to one side. Couldn't do much, the other chickens are actually leaving her alone not picking on her, but 2 days ago we had to wash her down due to having a very poopy but and clean that...

Ok here should be a better picture. Still not quite sure if scaly leg mites. DH thinks it is a problem with hip area. At least she is now standing and trying to walk with her leg. Putting Watkins petro carbo salve on but have not been putting on regularly. What do you think.

What are scaly leg mites. As of today she is standing but still really unsteady if she goes slow she is ok but wobbly.

Henny is stilling having trouble walking and standing, but she is eating great and even "offering" herself up for any rooster in the area, unfortunately no rooster around. Still can't figure out what is happening with leg. Almost like a sore but almost like she has something under the skin or...

Sorry for your chicks. I would recommend putting the rooster in a nice quiet warm place with some yummy treats and dim lights to give him time to recover from the attack.

Just a break in the skin, been putting Watkins petro carbo salve on, no blood & no bone sticking out just not putting any weight on it.

So found our American "Henny Penny" limping. Looked at her leg & thought at first her leg was broken, so brought in and put in small crate. Leg looks same, there was no blood and when feel leg don't feel anything broken or what moves but she can't really stand on it or walk. When she tries she...
