    Falling over dead

    One hen - 2 year old Comet - started standing off by herself, and not eating. Slept a lot. She actually would move to a different place every now and then, but stayed alone and slept. She would go in at night and get on the roost with the others. One day she perked up and looked good...

    Keeping Isolated Duck clean

    I have a duck who was attacked by a dog. He had a pretty significant wound behind his leg and a couple other less major punctures. This happened Sunday. Since then, I have been doing warm baths, wound cleaning and applying Vetricyn and antibiotic ointment. It got a little chilly here to put him...

    I need help/advice on how to proceed with my young flock pertaining to the roosters in particular. I have a minimum of 2 roosters out of 16 chicks.... but I suspect another couple could turn into roosters as well. The chicks are 6-7 weeks, and an assortment of breeds - so some are...

    Hen losing weight and isolated

    Our lavender Orpington within the last 2 weeks has moved from top roost at night to middle roost below the 3 other chickens, to now sleeping in a nesting box. She just had new feathers grow in and looks good except for being thinner and seems to have the same friendly personality with people...

    Sick Chicken Isolation Time?

    I've spent the last few days looking after a very, very sick chicken. My chicken Lucy had a lot of fluid in her lungs, wasn't eating or drinking and if I hadn't taken her to the vet she would have died. The vet said that she needed to have medication for 10 days and to be isolated from the rest...
