    Week old chick unresponsive

    They were born outside - they were hatched via a broody hen and I let her decide when they’re ready to venture out a little and when they need heat. It was 67 degrees when they were outside in the sun so I really don’t think that’s why. The other chicks are still just fine. This was something...

    Week old chick unresponsive

    No I wouldn’t say it’s only her neck. It’s like her whole body is limp. She can’t stand but I can see some movement in her legs and wings every couple hours. She seems so very tired. She is definitely having trouble with the neck though and tries to hold it up but can’t so a pic of the brace...

    Week old chick unresponsive

    No it doesn’t feel broken at all. She looks perfectly normal outside of her body being limp most of the time and not being able to walk or honestly move. Could the dog or chicken have broken her neck? If so is that even treatable?

    Week old chick unresponsive

    Just picked her up again and she had her eyes open for awhile and held her head up for a short period. It seems like she may just be injured and it’s exhausting her. Just using a Popeyes to trickle in some water and a couple drops of poultry cell every couple hours. One of her feet seem curled...

    Week old chick unresponsive

    Yes to pooping. Totally perfect little poops. She can’t walk at all though and keeps her eyes closed most of the time unless you really work with her. I’ve never had one like this and especially so suddenly. She startles awake when I touch her and falls back asleep.

    Week old chick unresponsive

    We have 3 chicks who were with a mama in brooder. We let them out in the yard for a bit every day when we are outside. They were right up against house totally normal when suddenly we noticed one was on the ground looking like it was dying. Our dog was running around- not sure if he could have...

    Can you add chicks to a mama hen who already has chicks?

    I have a broody hen and a mama hen who hatched her own chicks. The chicks with the mama are 3.5ish weeks. I got some chicks for my broody hen and she rejected them. I have done this many times and never had one reject them. The mama hen with chicks is still in the brooder with her chicks in...

    Depluming mites??

    I have a hen who is looking a little mangled. I know that sometimes when a roo has a favorite they can pluck feathers but I don’t know that I’ve ever had one quite this bad. Could this be depluming mites? It’s right in the base of her back and wings, the rest of her feathers seem ok. My concern...

    Please help first time dealing with mites

    Thank you so so much!!! Do you happen to know if I could use elector psp and once dry, permethrin dust? Or is that overkill (if there is such a thing with these darn things)

    Please help first time dealing with mites

    I went out to check again and I want to run away and never come back. I’m not sure what a “bad” infestation is but this is not good. I am reading elector psp also but it’s 20 degrees. How do I treat them without getting them wet? Is that even possible

    Please help first time dealing with mites

    I thought my hens had been being overbred by our abundance of roosters and that was why some of their back feathers looked rough but I just found mites on two of my girls. I didn’t have to look hard. I’m freaking out because I think they’re northern fowl mites. I live in North Carolina. Is it...

    Mucus poop?

    I have seen 2 poops like this the past couple days, they have like a clear white mucus but seem rather normal other than that. It’s been rainy and sopping wet in the coop and grass so idk if that could contribute. No blood though and everyone’s acting fine. Could this be normal or should I treat...

    Please help! Hen with giant wound smells like burnt chicken

    Thank you so much! It’s so comforting to know hens can pull through such horrific things. They’re so resilient! The worst I’ve had so far is a failed hawk attack that almost ripped a baby chicks wing off, a failed fox attack that left puncture wounds in a hen and a make shift surgery to replace...

    Please help! Hen with giant wound smells like burnt chicken

    Thank you so so much! I am going to go add some ointment first thing in the morning. I will do vetricyn spray first! I also have iodine that I may use instead depending on what @Wyorp Rock recommends! Thank you again ❤️

    Please help! Hen with giant wound smells like burnt chicken

    Thank you so much! You’re a life saver! Yes I totally missed this wound and I feel horrible. I check them out everyday but this is perfectly hidden by her wings and she’s one of my shy hens that I can’t catch all the time. My alarm bells didn’t go off until she was limping because of it. My...

    @Wyorp Rock the first two are the most recent (right before I put on the iodine)

    Please help! Hen with giant wound smells like burnt chicken

    @Wyorp Rock here are the images. Sorry for the delay. It looks like the gash goes downward and there was some dead skin holding in moisture and dirt or maybe pus. I got it cleaned out and removed as much of the dead skin as I felt comfortable removing without jeopardizing actually cutting her...

    Please help! Hen with giant wound smells like burnt chicken

    It is definitely a large gash but I don’t know if it’s quite a hole if that makes sense Thank you so so much!!! This gives me hope. I will bring her in tomorrow and give her a warm bath and clean it up and will post updated pics then. I will also go ahead and order amoxicillin just in case I...
