    If it is a rooster it isn't crowing. I told my husband I thought it was a rooster and he disagrees. Because this one and another one look the same and the other 2 don't have the wattles. I was told these 4 are Welsummers(spelling?)🤷‍♀️

    So, first of all I want to say a great big thank you to everyone who tried to help me out with my pullet with the eye thing. And secondly I'm so, so sorry that I haven't updated everyone here, my goats are all kidding, of course within days of each other and for some reason one of my new moms...

    Right! But ya know, desperate times and all that. I'm just hoping that I've got it in me and it doesn't traumatize her to much.

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    No, her other eye is not affected. She's eating and drinking normal for her. Running around with everyone else, etc. It just seems to be her one eye. So tomorrow I'll try to get some terramycin at the feed store and open her eye after applying a warm cloth and apply the ointment. I'll also try...

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    I wanted to be sure it would be ok for me to open her eye after applying a warm cloth to see if she got something in it or was pecked. So I'll try in the morning.

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    Also, I don't think there's a smell around her beak, etc. And it doesn't appear to have any pus collecting around the eye, beak or nostril area. No wheezing or trouble breathing, etc. She's just scared cuz hubby is holding her. I'm thinking she got something in there or was pecked. But just...

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    Ok, I'll try to open with a warm cloth and getting terramycin from the feed store. Gotta get hay anyway. Are there any oral antibiotics or health supplements I can put in their water to boost their immunities since we are getting so cold at night? We have a red light in their coop and 3 or 4...

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    She was scared when my husband was holding her. They're not all entirely used to us. As far as I can tell it's just her eye. No wheezing or gasping, no weird smells or sneezing, or nasal discharge. As far as I can tell she's eating and drinking normal for her. I haven't tried anything like a...

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    I've had them for a couple of months now. Does it stay that long on the birds or even in the coop? Their coop has a completely enclosed run with chicken wire on the bottom. I leave them in there for a good part of the day them turn them out for a couple of hours to free range. We've had a hawk...

    Went to get my pullets(41/2-5mo old) fresh water and saw this:

    Just now I went to get my pullets some fresh water and saw that she had not opened her eye. On further inspection, her eye seems to be sealed shut. I don't know if it's from injury or if she got something in there. But I really don't know what to do or if there's anything I can do for her. Any...
