She was listless. Wasn't eating or drinking. She started shaking when I lifted her. Her poo was green. It was sudden in that she was fine the night before. Eating, drinking, walking around, then the next day all those symptoms set in at once and she died the following day. With this particular...
The hens crop felt empty but then she started doing the motion again. The rooster started shortly after. I feed them regular grower/developer pellets without grit. They also free range. They don't look to be in distress, just really uncomfortable. I will try giving them the scrambled eggs now as...
Hello
I have a 3 month old hen that looks like she keeps adjusting her crop. It started last night. At first I thought it was an impaction and massaged it which seemed to have helped. It felt a little hard. But she's still doing it today and now I have a young rooster doing the same thing. Could...
Checked his crop this morning and it was empty. He's alert and eating/ drinking as normal. No vomiting so far. He's about the same as he usually is. Hopefully that's a good sign🤞
Unfortunately it was already late when I posted this and he and his girlfriend were already cuddling in their tree. I tried to lure him down, because contrary to the way he's acting right now he likes my cuddles, but he's not interested. I'll have to check him tomorrow. And yeah I usually don't...
Hello all.
I have a young rooster, about 4 months old. He was fine the entire day but now suddenly he's vomiting. The vomit is a pink colour and I'm pretty sure it's a result of him getting into the cats food. After he vomits he seems to be fine and even tries to eat the vomit😖 But I don't...
I'm a bit late to the party but I had something similar happen. The mother accepted the chick at first then one day just started to be mean to it. I thought she was just being a strict mom because he's a bit mischievous, but as I watched her she continued to be really abusive towards him until I...
Ironically that's what i call her! I gave her and all her siblings names that fit their personalities and she's the most posh of the lot so I call her Cutie :D And she's definitely better. No more balance issues and quite active. I'll keep a beady eye on her for another few days but I think...
I'm not sure of the breed. I adopted them after their mom randomly showed up and hatched her eggs in my yard and left them. This is her. Sorry it's taken so long. In between being busy and catching her while she's playing mortal kombat with her siblings, this is the best pic I could take before...
No when I said sneezing and pasty butt I simply meant she's been healthy since she hatched. When I read the symptoms it mentioned depression and so on so I was just basically saying she hasn't exhibited any symptoms of any kind, even of common illnesses. This is the first time she's been ill...
She mainly eats the Pullet grower from the feed store. For treats I usually give them some scrambled eggs or plain greek yogurt with oats (they love that), ripe tomatoes are also a favourite. And of course there's the bugs they catch on their own.
I'll get those vitamins later today. She still...
Hello
I have a 10 week old chick that suddenly lost her balance yesterday. I let her and her siblings out for a run and everything was normal. I noticed her and a few of her sisters laying down after a while and thought nothing of it as they usually stop to rest after running and pecking...
I'm in the Caribbean. And no we tried to maneuver the hair as gently as possible. It was wrapped pretty tight so I think that's where the lump under her chin came into play. A little inflammation probably. It's gone down a bit now. Hopefully it disappears soon. But her tongue did sustain some...
Update:
So I gave her some water mixed with apple cider vinegar this morning because there were some brown pieces of what looked like bug at the side of her mouth. I figured she might be having some trouble with digestion only for her to start gagging after drinking a little. When we shined the...
