Our almost year old hen, Mrs Peaches, was attacked by our dog. He was holding her by the neck in a muddy puddle so her face was covered in mud. I’ve wiped her nostrils clean. I took her inside to give her a bath and while rinsing her off, noticed she had an open wound in the middle of her back...
PLEASE PLEASE HELP! First time chicken owner and am doing the best I can.
I adopted 2 silkies (11 months old - same age as my current girls) and introduced them to my current flock of 4, 1 month ago. My russian orloff has been going after them but particularly one. The first week we monitored...
Hello, I'm here for some advice. I'm visiting my grandparents 6+ hours away from home, and of course it had to happen while I'm away, but my family is working on introducing a dog, and he got a hold of one of my ducks, Ruth. My mother is reporting many times a day, but she and I are both new to...
Agatha is a 5 month old Naked Neck/Turken pullet.
She just laid her first egg yesterday.
She has been staying on the roost in the morning for the last two days.
She was fluffed up but would still move around with the flock once she came down; eating and drinking normally.
This morning I...
I’ve been dealing with a bout of flystrike with my Sizzle. She has two open wounds on her rump that are slowly healing. (Separated, inside, no more maggots, eating, treating the wounds with spray and salve from TSC). I gave her a dose of ivermectin (drops on her back) to help combat the maggots...
Today just as I was herding them all (4 ladies and 2 men) in the pen I notice Cher standing off to the side all fluffed up and there were small drops of blood under her! I got her up on a table and had a look under her wing. Her side is open, all the skin scratched away with a good size hole and...
My ex-boyfriend has a pitbull on a chain in the yard and he lets all the birds wander around freely. Unsurprisingly, our duck Ponyo must have wandered too close and the dog got ahold of him. My ex rushed out to get Ponyo and he has Ponyo inside now, on a towel with some water and he's been...
My naked neck was attacked by my rooster today and it took about a quarter size of skin from the back of her neck. Not actively bleeding. I cleaned it with a wet towel as best I could tonight, applied bacitracin on it, and she is in a cat carrier in our bathroom. She is only 12 weeks. What would...
I apologize for the graphic image, but I dont really know how to describe the wound in a way to show the difficulty of helping this bird on our own if it’s possible. Our neighbor’s dog got ahold of one of our chickens and tore open a LARGE portion of our hen’s skin, exposing a vast amount of leg...
