Have been cleaning his eye as described above… and heave pus comes out each time. It does smell bad. Over his eye is a heavy yellow film that can not be removed without getting blood on the eye moistened pad. He does not have respiratory problems and acts fine except his bad eye and comb...
My poor rooster has an eye infection. have been treating it with saline and teramisin ointment. The eye continues to discharge a heaven yellow pus. Think he has lost his eye. Currently, his crop has started turning a dark purple. Wondering if the two problems are related. Has anyone dealt with...
Thanks, but No more chicks. Have the amount of chickens we can handle. She is a feisty small black frizzle bandy hen. Just want her to become normal again ?
My small bandy hen will not leave her nest. It has been 2 months. There are no eggs in her nest. She will get down to eat, but goes back to nest immediately. Each evening, for protection, I put her and bandy rooster in a cage. She gets very upset but settles down. However, when opening cage...
My rooster's comb and face is pale. His energy level is very low. I have separated him from his band of roosters. Have been feeding him Rooster Booster (Vit B) through his beak and chicken electrolytes in his water. Do not know what is wrong with him. He seems a little better, but need...
Your article gave me such relief and encouragement. I have a bantam frizzle hen. She has lost so many of her feathers, was concerned that she could survive such an ordeal. She is tiny and very fragile, and stays mostly on her floor nest. She can not fly up to roost as she normally had done...
Thank you for information. Seems I need to make a quick decision between the baby chick and the other eggs, which may not have live chicks. As was recommended Texas KiKi, should candle the 8 other eggs. The baby chick seemed strong an hour ago.
No ... it is so small and mother hen is so protective. Would like her to care for it. So I may have to remove all the other eggs for her to take care of the one little survivor???
Have never raised one chick on its own Have raised several and they take care of each other providing warmth, etc...
I moved hen to brood box once the chick hatched and put food and water where hen and chick can safely get to it. Removed hen from eggs and she ate a little and went back on her eggs. The little chick stayed with her, but did not know to eat. How long can it survive if she doesnt start teaching...
My hen was laying on 9 eggs .... one chick hatched 3 days ago. She is still sitting on the other 8 eggs. How long can the little chick survive if she is not teaching it to eat or drink?
My rooster and hen are Bantam, but not sure what type of Bantam. Sad and Unfortunately, my sweet little rooster died suddenly due to no apparent cause. He was five years old. His matching little hen has not been the same without him caring for her. Have several other roosters, but concerned...
