😌sorry..I have a special chick too and hope I don’t have to go thru what u went thru . Take care.

I think hydration may be important too - I pray she makes it through alright

Oh yes…if I ever have one again my choice would be anything but RIR…they can’t be trusted either!

He’s a looker! I have two Rhode Island Reds and the older one jumped at me from behind a couple of times but when he attacked my husband he got payback and he didn’t do it again..I still carry around a stick just in case because the other rooster is young and I think those hormones kick in and...

I had a chicken with a head wound and I just cleaned it with antiseptic spray and then put some neosporin on it. The only thing is I had to keep her away from other chicks. Poor thing it looks like her eyes are swollen shut from the injury: Is she able to move? Is she making any sounds?

yep .......I think big pullet

sad...you did all you could

Any update? I hope there is some improvement - every little improvement is positive sign she might make it.

Please give update on your rooster...has there been any consequences with regards to the dog that attacked? Is there a way you can keep this dog away? This is so hard to think about and I hope your rooster will somehow make it through. Has he started to drink or eat? Pls give update when you can.

oh and regarding completely broken off spur --will it grow back?

restarting antibiotics may be better than not doing anything.. I am concerned hes not feeding or drinking. Good luck. This is sad.

Oh thank you! Wheewww it’s so hard to catch this huge RIR and then he’s such a baby but we’ll keep an eye on it🥹

Noticed 1.5 yr old Rooster with spur off. Area above it somewhat swollen. Still able to walk around ok. Tried to treat area but the area where spur came off has a hard surface. Cleaned it and applied antibacterial and bandaid. I think I’ve read about soaking area but forgot with what..is it...

Ok tks! I found out it was caked on powder from their feed which had settled at the bottom - I guess I just freaked a bit b/c they wount let me catch them to look closer but later I realized the stuff was gone…whewww! But thanks for reply!

are there any diseases involving the beak of chickens?

6 (actually 7 - one got cracked & eaten😒)

it just happened to me however the 6 eggs found cracmed and eaten were outside the area ofcoup or nesting boxes-we do have a roll out in our four boxes but wonder if we need more nesting boxes...I see two trying to lay in one box sometimes. we do let them free range pretty much all day -we have...

Oh interesting about the broody hen and other hen behaviour towards her...it makes sense to me now. The surely are peculiar creatures. Sorry you had to cull that very aggressive one though. They do offer amusing entertainment but sometimes there is weird stuff that goes beyond chicken drama...

I dont trust my roosters (RIRs - father & son) they are great with their girls but Ive learned never to turn my back on them and I carry a big stick w me when Im near them. Also I always put treats out before I let them out of the pen (and stay out if their way). Gosh - if I didnt do it that...

11 from my 12 laying hens...its been very hot here in Florida- had to put a fan in there😮
