    Please help, need suggestions.

    Others are all fine. I opened up the crop of the last hen and found nothing. I was thinking I would surly find some string, plastic or something. Just grass, scratch and some bug parts and a horrible stink and lots of liquid.

    Sour Crop Question

    Are the crops full in the morning? Any smelly breath, or neck twisting? Maybe try some bread dipped in olive oil, and massaging their crops. I think eating anything is a good sign. Mine had stopped eating anything.

    Sour Crop Question

    Sounds like you have it licked. As long as they're eating, drinking, pooping and acting alert and normal, you should be good! :) I just lost a hen to what I think was sour crop, and nothing was working. She stopped eating and drinking, I tried everything I had... I decided to open her crop and...

    Please help, need suggestions.

    This morning I lost the second hen in a month to an illness that I can not figure out. Both hens were over a year old. One a red sex link, the latest a speckled sussex. They both are with a flock of about 80 chickens, they free range and spend the night in coops. Both have been wormed recently...

    Lost 2 chicks, 3rd dying...please help!

    The only thing I can think of, it sounds like sour or impacted crop, maybe? Is it hard or mushy? I didn't know little chicks on starter needed grit, but I guess they do? I always use dirt and sand for litter so I haven't ever used any. I'm struggling with a mysterious illness myself, which...

    Help! Is this bumble foot??

    Thank you! I've cut the infection out of one of my hens, but it was no where near as big as this. Besides that, I sincerely love my Voodoo, and it pains me to do anything to him that might hurt him. I love all my chickens, but I have a special relationship with Voo. He absolutely knows his...

    Help! Is this bumble foot??

    Thank you. I'm not sure if I have the stomach to do all the cutting and digging requred to treat this... Any tips or advice would be most appreciated! Allears, he's a Jersey Giant rooster. His name is Voodoo, he's the sweetest, gentlest rooster ever! He's almost 5 years old, and I adore...

    Help! Is this bumble foot??

    I can't tell if this is bumble foot or a callous. I thought bumble foot, but there is no "lump" that I can see. I don't want to start digging into this foot before I'm sure.

    My chicken has a weird crop problem

    I've have no idea what it could be...Is she acting sick or is she eating and moving around?

    Relapse of sickness in chickens.

    Thank you! I was thinking it might have something to do with internal laying. I kept her inside last night and dosed her with the Tylan 50 again today. She ate a little bit and her bottom stayed clean since her bath. I put her back outside just a little bit ago, and will continue the antibiotic...

    Comment by 'yinzerchick' in media 'Cookie, EE,wondering where the snacks are.'

    The red sex link to the left that is standing funny is acting a little odd, but she's still eating and doesn't have a messy bum.

    Relapse of sickness in chickens.

    This hen was acting lethargic, and had yellowish sticky droppings all stuck to her bottom several weeks ago. I brought her in, wormed her, cleaned her up in a warm epsom salt bath, and gave her .5ml of Tylan 50. I kept her isolated, and dosed her with the Tylan 50 for 5 days. She seemed to perk...

    Piles of feathers but guineas are fine???

    I've seen piles like this with my chickens. Always gives me a heart attack. Perhaps it's happening during mating?

    Cold baby guinea?

    Thank you for the reply. I ended up just taking the keet back outside after about 1/2 hour in the house, and let it join the others. It did fine. My guineas were given to me, and I really don't keep them in a coop. I taught them to nest in the barn rafters. The momma guinea built a nest out in...

    Cold baby guinea?

    Hi all, I had a guinea hatch out some babies about a 5-6 weeks ago. They've all done well, but right now we're experiencing an awful cold snap. Colder than usual for this time of year. It's only in the 30's today, and with the wind and clouds feels even colder. I'm wondering if I did the...

    I'm stumped, out of ideas and DESPERATE. Please help.

    Thank you. I wouldn't have thought of the extension office...not right now anyway. That will be my plan...unfortunately we will have to wait for the next fatality. We burned the bodies...I just couldn't cut them open myself. I really thought worms, but just thought I was using the wrong wormer...

    I'm stumped, out of ideas and DESPERATE. Please help.

    I've had chickens for a little over 3 years now. I've never had bad sicknesses, nothing a little home remedies, TLC or a little antibiotic wouldn't cure. Out of the ....gosh, it must be close to 100 or so chickens I've had, I've only lost a couple to illness, I cured many more from injuries, to...

    Should I worry about this??

    Thank you for the relief. I had to ask because we hadn't noticed her "roundness" before. Once we did, we couldn't un-notice it, and it looked suspicious next to the other ducks. Glad to know it's probably nothing. We did find a HUGE duck egg in the barn this morning...lol! Thanks again!

    Should I worry about this??

    Hi all. I'm newer to ducks. I started with 2 about a year ago, I have 4 now. I'm wondering if this gal has a problem, or it's just her. I got her about 2 months ago, she was about 4-5 months then. She's a Golden 300, I guess she's about 6-7 months old now. Here's a few pics I took today. She's...

    After the attack

    Happy! Happy! Happy! Much progress in the past couple days! Ray is now walking around with the young females, they're swimming in all their puddle ponds. He's shaking his tail feathers, and flapping his wings. The girls are following him around, he brought them into the yard a few times...
