I looked this up. Paper tape! Genious! It would also help with the occassional splayed legs. I'd like to try it without the vetwrap once. Here's the link I found to it! I'm buying it! Thank you!
Oh, you're in Canada. I just suggested how we get antibiotics online without a prescription, but not sure if they'd ship out of the country. There must be a way though!
If it comes to her getting an antibiotic, those we get online without a prescription. But I don't want to suggest that until we get another opinion from @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock, my two go to peeps here. @azygous has most likely dealt with similar too.
This is the part I'm hoping someone else with more experience in internal bleeding can help as that's beyond the usual prolapse that I've dealt with.
Is taking her to a vet out of the question?
Also, I'm thinking she may need an antibiotic to prevent infection internally. Let's give it a...
I'm sorry to hear about the fox. :hugs I'm sure before you put more chickens out there you've fixed it up. 1/2" hardware cloth will keep a fox out.
But hey, this post is about celebrating! :yesss:🎉 Congrats on the pips! Yes, we'd love to see pictures! Oh, and @BoundlessLove is very...
Congrats!
You might want to consider posting a "blog" of sorts in this forum:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/pictures-stories-of-my-flock.39/ A lot of us, including me, have one. Mine helps me keep track of what I have all in one place, so I can go back and look at what I had a month...
I'm not familiar with solar flares, but here in Wisconsin, we have northern lights often. Not usually to the extent of the beautiful colors recently seen, just usually white streaks in the skies. They are especially pronounced in the winter when they are so bright they reflect off the snow...
Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow
Congrats on the chicks! I too would love to see a picture if you don't mind sharing!
Definitely check our Articles, Learning Center, and Forums when you get time as there's where the good stuff is! @BoundlessLove gave you the direct link to the Learning...
The above is what I would do.
I do not know what this is, but it must be related to the prolapse or pecking.
I would treat her with alternating vitamin water with a little bit of molasses mixed in, like a few drops in a cup, and probiotic water. Molasses will help her clear her digestive...
They're on wheels so no, it's no annoyance at all. We only pull them out about once a week. The feeders are huge 5-gallon PVC port feeders.
Perhaps you could put yours on a -- I forget what it's called, like a skateboard...a board with wheels.
Here I thought this was going to be another "zombie thread." Way to go, @PetesChicks, for keeping up with your thread after it fell asleep for 9 years! :highfive:
I had a silkie pullet just 10 months old that started acting like this. She had been laying for a short while. In addition to yours, she had swelling on both sides of her vent in a large area the size of the palm of my hands, and it was warmer to the touch. She was going downhill fast.
The...
Actually, I like yours! We have dog food bins that seal, but they only hold 30#. A 50# bag we mix and split between two of them lasts nearly two weeks. They're opaque though so you can see how much is left. These are on wheels so make it nice when we bring them into our kitchen. We mix...
