Here I go again. My third chicken with lash egg. The last two lived for a good 6 months but I know she won’t have as long as she should anymore. Thats the last time I get ISA Browns. 😞
The last time I used an antibiotic. I think it was Baytril? I am having trouble finding an appropriate...
Hello all, I don’t post much but I am at such a loss right now. My dear Chiquita is a 2.5 year old ISA Brown hen who has been such a sweetheart her whole life. Two nights ago she suddenly lost the ability to move her left leg and has not been able to walk properly. I had her checked out by a vet...
Hey all, my Bantam Cochin just hatched her first clutch? is that the word. Anyway she has 5 little cuties. One egg was hers and Donald Trump's (my granddaughter named our Red Bantam Silky that because he looks like him, lol.) Anyway one is hers and the Bantam Rooster. It is the black one in...
I have three chickens - two Isa browns and one leghorn. I sleep right next to my chickens so when I'm still sleeping peacefully the chickens have woken up and are squawking constantly, and I live in a close suburban street. They will not stop squawking unless they are given veggies that they...
My ISA Brown started laying at the end of August. At first, she laid daily supermodel eggs. We were so proud because she had only one month earlier been diagnosed with a heart murmur (after almost dying from heat stroke). She made a full recovery from the heat stroke incident and we'd been...
My Isa is my baby. It was a shock to go outside today and find her unable to stand, last night at about 11pm she was perfectly fine.
I found no injuries, but she sometimes squeezes her eyes shut like she's in pain.
She keeps her legs tucked underneath of her. If I make her stand normally, she...
Hey all!
Got a small group of baby pullets, both orpingtons and isa browns.
The black orps are easy to ID, but the lighter colored ones I'm lost on!
I've looked up pictures of both, but that didn't help much. :P
Anyone have any tips on telling orps from browns?
I'd appreciate it, because I...
Hello everyone! One of my old isa brown hens has a respiratory issue (some discharge out of nostrils) and I have ordered vetrx which is arriving tomorrow. Today I noticed this (white spots on comb) I asked some other people and they said it’s Favus, what do you guys think? What do I buy to treat...
Hello. Yesterday I posted a thread about our ISA brown, "Buffy," who was suddenly showing signs of heat stress at the peak of the afternoon (here is the OG post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/please-help-possible-heat-stroke-or-sick.1327905/).
Well, we took her to the vet today and...
It's been pretty hot here. Nothing intense like I see some people post about, but high 80s with lots of humidity and very little breeze. Our coop/run is shaded and we offer plenty of fresh water and frozen treats, and will mist down the run at peak hours. Thus far they've been fine, albeit with...
I got 3 one year old laying hens (1 RIR, 1 barred rock, 1 isa brown) at the end of June from someone rehoming them. They were all laying one egg a day consistently right away for about two weeks. Then all of a sudden the barred rock and isa brown stopped laying completely. I didn't know if it...
Hello,
New member. Long time reader. Second flock, first with silkies.
I have five silkies, about 13 weeks old, that we bought from a local bird enthusiast. 2 chicks from a store which are suppose to be a buff Orpington and an isa brown and also suppose to be hens. I’m a little skeptical of...
Relatively new to chickens and we bought 12 Isa Browns and we have 6 Rhode Island reds. We went without a rooster for a while but was just given a rooster who is a Dominicker. Wondering if anyone has any pictures of what that offspring would look like? I've tried to Google and not much out there.
I mail ordered 15 chickens from a hatchery. 3 unsexed silkies, 2 F ISA brown , 1 M ISA brown, 2 F Cinnamon Queens, 1 F Sappire Gem, 1 F Amberlink, 1 F Silverlaced Polish and 4 F Americana. They gave me 16. 1 silkie and another bird died. I don’t know what I have anymore . Silkies, the polish &...
Carrollton, GA 30117. One of my year old hens is being picked on, and as a result won’t sleep on the perch. This is causing her to get a poopy butt. She lays 5-6 nice brown eggs a week.
I’m hoping someone with a larger coop can adopt her.
I’d like to get a muscovy or goose in trade. But she is...
Hi all, I’m a beginner chicken owner and have only had my 6 for about 2 weeks. The youngest and smallest of them I have had to isolate due to her deterioration in health. She wouldn’t be any older than 2 months and she’s an ISA Brown.
She has had roundworm and I’ve been desperately trying to...
Hi! I have a few day-old Isa Brown chicks who seem perfectly happy apart from preening quite alot? Especially around their wings and chest. They were hatched in an incubator and are in their brooder now with straw bedding. Both eating and drinking really well.
Ive inspected them closely and cant...
