    Can I use ibuprofin to put down a baby chicken?

    I have a baby, about 4-7 weeks old, it's tail has been pecked down to the bone (I don't know how) and he's trying to die. He's in a lot of pain and I think he should be put out of his misery, I was wondering if it would be possible to OD him with Ibuprofen. We're looking for the quickest, and...

    Chickens wing turning GREEN

    What's strangest is it is her whole wing, but a very defined line on her shoulder, it's localized to just her wing, it doesn't hurt her, but she can still feel on her wing. (I tested this by pinching pieces of skin along her wing) she reacted the same as the other wing.

    Chickens wing turning GREEN

    There isn't a vet within a four hour drive (that we could find) that can take care of her, as soon as I can get the pictures to load I will post.

    Chickens wing turning GREEN

    One of my white leghorns hurt her wing, I thought she had dislocated or broken it. She lost total movement of it, and today, two days after it happened, I checked on her and her entire wing, from the shoulder is GREEN and I literally mean, Green, grass green. And I don't know what to do! Pics...

    One of my little girls had her tailfeathers completely burned off! Aside from that no outward injuries except a few minor burns, I went to work the next day hoarse! A few of them still smell a little like smoke :/

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Best as we understand it, the bird that died must've sat on the light, or really close to it, and caught on fire, then in panicking tore the light down so it landed on the hay, we're lucky my sister saw it, probably very soon after it happened, we almost lost a lot more but I climbed in to take...

    Crossed beak pullet, how bad is it?

    Before about a week ago I hadn't noticed anything, I only saw it because she apparently has some vision problems, I think she's a bit farsighted.

    Help! Chickens dying!

    none of them are paralyzed, they've not been wormed. I did have problems with Coccidiosis once but only one chicken died, and that was two years ago when I got my first batch of babies. I'll look into treating them for anything they could have, its just not making any sense.

    Help! Chickens dying!

    For awhile now there haven't been anymore birds getting sick, three days ago my hen Rosie was just fine, but since then she's had a drastic weight loss and has become slightly lethargic. Right now i'm keeping her near me so I can watch her closely over the day and make sure she eats and drinks.
