    Disabled Pet Rooster advice

    I'm a proud owner of a rooster named Hydra, and though I love him very much he is a pain in the butt. I only have one chicken as he was a rescue when he was a day old and I had no intention of getting a yard bird. He spends a good majority of his time with the family including our other pets (3...

    Female Rooster?

    I know that it seems as though I'm looking at an almost fully grown Rooster and saying that it's a girl, but she didn't look like this at all a couple of weeks ago. She hadn't laid an egg but she was making nests around the yard and refusing to leave her spots for hours. A week ago though her...

    Female Rooster?

Greenish black feathers have popped up. and most of all she started crowing and attaching a toy with her hackle feathers raised. I have done some googling and it is...

    Dearest people of the internet. Almost six months ago, I got my newly hatched chick (who was abandoned by her chicken mommy.) She is our only chicken but she spends enough time with us and the cats (who don't attack her) and the dog that she isn't lonely we think. We did all of the gender...

    Disabled Chickens Forum

    I would absolutely love a form for chickens with disabilities. I'm a fairly new member it I have used BYC exclusively to look up how to deal with my Girl Hydra. One of her legs is paralyzed, and she is to fluffy for this costal ecuador heat.

    Vet suggested taking my chicken swimming.

    I am from the US and am living in Ecuador. My chicken was leg was injured two weeks ago and I did basic first aid. I couldn't bring her to the vet as there is no farm animal vet's anywhere near me. Well finally the traveling vet came to town today and I brought my girl in. Along side putting her...

    I have recently joined as I got my first Chicken. I live in a small town in Ecuador, and I got Hydra on Easter Monday. She was a day old, and her mother was running her off, not letting her eat or drink. We asked her mother's owner if we could take the poor dieing baby and that's how I got my...

    I found my 14 week old Chicken laying on her side and now one of her feet wont work.

    It's been a week since the incident and a friend of mine recommended me asking questions here. She is a rescue. Her mother didn't want her and was chasing her away from the flock. I got her when she was a day old. She is the only chicken I have, though she plays chase with our cats and dog...
