    Dangling Leg, Brusing, Laceration on Back

    Thank you. She does seem to be getting stronger and the wounds are healing. She only spends about an hour in the sling a day- she shakes when I put her in there. I did notice where the fracture is now after lots of feather trimming and examining. It’s on 1st joint up from her foot where it...

    Dangling Leg, Brusing, Laceration on Back

    A farmer asked me to help his injured bird. It’s been 10 days since she was found in her nesting box with her leg dangling. Her vent was covered in poop from being in there for a while. After trimming feathers, I found bruising on her upper thigh. She was in pain. Treated her with homeopathics...

    What killed my sweet Polish Bantam?

    I have automatic coop doors. Sometimes my Polish Bantam, Frieda, would roost up on top of the run and miss the closing time. I would have to get on a ladder, scoop her up, give her kisses and tuck her in with everyone else- safe and sound. On this night, however, I got home after dusk. She...

    Cross Beak loves mashed potatoes!

    My scissor/cross beak recently discovered she LOVES mashed potatoes! Just some leftover from our dinner- instant with butter and ranch powder. I’ve tried so many different feeds, mashes, etc and I’m happy to see her eating! She’s smaller than the rest of the flock, so I’d like to continue...

    Golden Laced Polish Flock

    Haha. It’s my first flock. They sound much different then my one female of another breed (Rhode Island White…I think). I just got my first egg from her the other day. So I’m learning. 🤦🏻‍♀️😛

    Golden Laced Polish Flock

    Still no clue on gender. Any advice? No eggs yet. 20 weeks old. Two are kinda crowing, one is a sweet scissor beak.

    Scissor Beak Polish

    Thank you. I have seen quite a few of the posts here regarding scissor beak are from this season. We got ours at Tractor Supply Co in Loveland, CO and I’m wondering if their hatchery has something going on. I reported it to the clerk, but he seemed disinterested, so I should contact the manager...

    Scissor Beak Polish

    I’m a first time chicken mom. Breast cancer survivor. Vegetarian. Raising chicks his companions. My one month old Polish is developing scissor beak. I’m feeding her mush, making sure she’s eating, putting electrolytes in the water, making sure others don’t pick on her, giving her bowls of water...
