Hello! I sent you a message in regards to the flock. Please take a look and shoot me a response at your earliest convenience :)

Hello! I know this is an old thread, but out of curiosity, did your he's condition ever correct itself? I have an amererucana that's about the same age who's displaying the same symptoms. Her weight is normal and she's about midtier in the pecking order

Oooh, perfect, thank you! I will talk to my family and DM you with their response!

Where in SoCal are you located? Also, do you have any pictures of the coops & chickens?

I agree with Wyorp Rock. I had two Jersey Giants that were bare bottomed, had the rattiest neck feathers and were practically bald for a year due to pecking. I sewed a chicken saddle, and that seemed to help stop the bullying a bit, but it took nearly a year for their feathers to come back. If...

Personally, I buy the higher protein game feed for my flock (chickens, goose, turkey, quail) and use it as a supplemental feed to a mix of fermented grains. I've only been using this method for a few months, but have found that my girls are eating less, have better body composition, less health...

Do you have a picture of the chick? You will probably need to raise her separately to give her a chance.

Also, welcome to the BYC!

Regular triple antibiotic will be fine, so long as it doesn’t have "pain relief" in it. I would turn on the heat lamp so you can monitor the little one for a bit before you head off to get some rest. If you have a thermometer, you'll want it about 95ish. Has the chick been drinking? It won't...

Ideally, we change the chickens' water daily, but my younger brother is in charge of water duty and occasionally it gets put off to "every other day".... or whenever I start chewing his ear off :rant:smack

Thank you. We've had parrots/birds longer than chickens, so it was definitely an experience... she was a sweet one but I can’t get over how quickly it all happened. Vet said it may have been canary pox? I've never heard of pox causing arterial spurts though :idunno

Hello all! Curious question for those of you who've kept birds- have you ever had an instance where a major artery literally explodes? We had a 2yr/o canary that had a bad case of scaley mites which we had treated by a vet 2x (revolution and doxycycline). Yesterday I noticed she wasn't getting...

Hello! Are you in South Orange County SoCal?

Awwwww

Thanks y'all for your responses! Good to know- he's an absolute sweetheart 💕 I don't plan to show him, as he was gotten as a companion bird. Though, even if I wanted to breed him, I'm not sure I could.... he's half the size of our silke! :lau

Hello y'all! I had picked up this little guy from a mixed bin of bantam chicks at TSC a few months back, and he is now 9wks old today and I have no idea what he's supposed to be! Someone had suggested that he'll turn out to be a BB red old English game and another a silver duckwing- problem is...

1 looks to be an LO

The louder bossy one might be a male, or he might not. Our Gussie was fairly docile when he was little lol. From what I've noticed, most stores sell Chinese brown geese as oopsed to African geese (though they might advertise the gosling as African). So far, from the slender necks I'd say they're...

They look to be either Chinese brown geese or African geese. I'm betting on the first one since they look a lot like my Gussie did at that age :) As for gender... it's going to be a while before you can tell. Not unless you know how to vent sex 😬
