    eye care for silkie chick

    I will try and post a pic this afternoon. Thanks for your reply and I will probably end up calling the vet for advice. The little thing will need long term care and is currently in its own cage in the back lot, eating and gaining weight :-) Just need to prevent it from going blind in the future.

    eye care for silkie chick

    I have a silkie chick around 10 weeks old who was born with a birth defect which doesn't allow her (his?) eyes to fully close on the outside corners so it's causing the eyes to dry in those spots leaving a yellow crusting which I have to wipe away. Does anyone know if over the counter eye...

    To honor "Red", my friend, who passed away this morning

    I have a friend named Red (I know, original), He was a large RIR who was between 6-7 years old as far as I can remember. About 3.5 years ago he was blinded in one eye by a fellow roo (grrr!) and was moved from the coop (general population) into the basement for much needed TLC. He was such a...

    Help! Rooster who almost drowned last night

    Thank you, the sorrow of losing him is one thing but then there's the regret of having not put the lid on the water :( The trouble of loving your creatures is the heartbreak of losing them, esp in such a tragic, preventable way, but I would never trade it for the joy they bring. I hate the way...

    Help! Rooster who almost drowned last night

    Posted last night, I hadn't put a lid on our water barrel and my bantam mix rooster was floating in it when I went to the coop last night, had his wings out and struggling to keep his head above water.

    Help! Rooster almost drowned!

    Thank you, he has stopped hiccuping and is sitting up on his feet now much more alert. Still weak and gasping a little. Praying and holding him until he is stable.

    Please help - Approx 6 month Hen off her legs with curled toes

    I have a roo with similar symptoms. Kept him in my bathroom for almost 4 mos last year. Read somewhere to sue "Hypericum Perforatum", otherwise known as St. John's wort. It has to be the homeopathic kind. It comes in a small blue vile and the tablets are small, white , round balls. You disolve...

    Sick bantam roo/ nuerological?

    Thank you, it isn't a bad idea to check for marek's just in case. Any idea on the vitamins? How much and what should I give? I have been giving vit. B and was doing E for a while, but just kind of guessing on the dosage. You know, today he seems a little improved. After I posted this I took him...

    Predators that decapitate chickens

    My guess, weasel. Had this happen in my coop. remember when patching holes that if it is weasel he is like a mouse and can squeeze through some tight places. A few days after patching the holes my awesome cats brought mr. weasel to me. Only time I have ever seen one and I have lived here since...

    Found half hatched chick..he is alive..what to do?

    Just make sure there is something between him and the pad. Like a towel or something so he doesn't burn himself.
