I have tried giving her oyster shell but she will not eat it. I tried taping her legs in a splint but she just falls over and kicks and ends up stuck on her back. I even cut a Capri Sun box to fit around her, with an opening for poop and a cut out for her neck but she still manages to flip it...

I have a 4 week old baby chick that I noticed yesterday was having difficulty standing and walking. It appears to only be in one leg but I could not find any noticeable problems (swollen hock, crooked toes) I had her in with 3 other chicks but put her by herself because the others were...

Thought about snake bite but could not find puncture wounds and the tissue did not die as it usually does with snake bites. The antibiotic ointment I used was Panalog which does not contain a pain killer. It is a vet prescribed med we used a lot when I was a vet tech on cat bite wounds. I...

I have 3 leghorn girls and a mix breed rooster. We had been keeping them in a large chicken enclosure but decided to finally let them free range. They are almost 18 months old. The 2ND day they were out, I went out later in the afternoon to play in the yard with my boys when I noticed one...

I took the light down as they seemed to be too hot under it and they are in my sons old playpen. That is the biggest thing I have. I had them in a stock tank but they got too big for it. I'll put the light back now that they are in the pen with ventilation and maybe they will not get so hot...

I have 12 chicks that are about 3 weeks old. I noticed a few days ago that one was missing it's tail feathers. I thought the others may have just been picking on it so I watched to be sure. I have not seen anyone really being mean to it and today when I got them all out to change the shavings...

I got a dozen mixed eggs from a lady about 2 months ago and 2 of the eggs were tan with brown speckles. They are the only 2 that hatched and I have no idea what they are!! The lady who gave them to me had bannies, auricanas, and several other breeds running around so I have no idea. They are...

Decided about 2 hours ago that my 22 may do the job and cleanly. Decided to do it late so my kids would be asleep and not know. I tried to dig a hole to confine her in/bury after but my ground is so darn hard. Came back in to check on her and clean her cage until morning when I could see...

As I was once a vet tech, I know there are worse things than death and I know this poor girl should be put out of her misery. Any suggestions on a quick, humane way to do so that does not involve cutting the throat? I do not plan to eat her as for one I could never do that to her now and 2 I...

copied my post and pictures to the meat bird forum and found out as suspected, she is a meat bird that was on her way to the slaughter house. Most recommend slaughtering her as she is outgrowing her body so to speak, just not sure how to do it. I cant eat her, not now and am trying to come up...
