Thank you I am not looking forward to this but I feel so bad for her. I watched videos and it seemed like the humane thing to do... but now I'm wondering if I should just let nature takes it course. This is my second hen and I've checked all the boxes on clean coop, organic food, clean water...
Shes better today I got the Miconazole 3 day application: 4 mil. Do you think that is enough or should I keep it up for another 3 day application? Her poop looks fine, she doesn't seem to have water belly, She is a red sex linked, and not sure when the last time she laid an egg. I have 70...
yes first thing in the AM. She is not eating much but she is drinking and it is squishy and as soon as I pick her up. it just comes running out of her mouth.
Hi
My chicken (4 years old) has a case of sour crop. I have given her yeast medication for two days now, and kept her isolated. We are on day #3 and each day I pick her up, gently touch her crop and she throws up. The crop empties, but the next day it is full again. I have been giving her oats...
I put crushed peppers, garlic,poultry probiotics poultry booster, oyster shells and grit in their food. I feed Texas Natural and I put apple cider vinegar in their water. I make a breakfast every morning of organic black beans and or lentils, greens from my garden, organic dried fruit and any...
Thanks for your quick comments. I will get the answers to these questions today about Molly. I haven't separated her today, but will do so tonight to get answers. On a different topic, how do you use safeguard as a prevention for a large flock?
Molly is 3 years, very active. About 3 months ago she started molting and is still going through that process. Yesterday I saw her standing, puffed up. Not moving. I checked her over, didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I checked her this morning for sour crop and impacted crop and her crop...
So I have cleaned all of her wounds, cleaned out her mouth (full of blood), and am treating her eye. The swelling is going down, and her eye is recovering. The biggest hurdle now is getting her to eat and drink. I'm thinking her jaw is not broken because I can open it and eye drop water down her...
Looks like my girl got into a scuffle and now her eye is wounded. It looks swollen and the lid is closed. It looks sealed shut. Does this look like she lost her eye? or is it just closed? There is movement behind the closed lid. What is the first step to opening this eye up? I have Vetericyn...
Here's the update 4 days in... chuck re appears. But he is still very afraid of the other rooster. The "bad boy" is a bully to Chuck and his two identical siblings. The siblings pretty much stay clear of him, but he always goes after Chuck. He is not aggressive to me, or the hens, just Chuck...
Hello,
Just looking for some expertise here. Chuck, my rooster disappeared yesterday. My flocks free range and Chuck has been in charge since day 1. Last night, we are all doing out nightly snack before bed (worms) outside the coop, then we all walk in and get settled in for the night. Last...
Thank you ! Honestly they are so sweet, I mean they are roosters and sweeter than some of my hens. I gonna pray that we can "live in peace" Oh ya They have 16 acres to roam on but hang around the coop and venture up to my house for blue berries about 500 ft from the coop. I figure if they...
