Bump

Anyone?

Unfortunately, we don't have a vet nearby. Thank you, though!

17 weeks old? I'm pretty sure you have a rooster.

I'm not a very experienced chicken owner either, but I think I read somewhere (I do a lot of reading) about someone whose chicken's tongue fell off. Apparently chickens can survive just fine without their whole tongues, so I think your chicken will be fine. Did the vet say you should put...

Henley Reeves, one of my Delaware hens, has a severe prolapsed vent that I'm guessing comes with vent gleet (due to the stink), and I'm not sure what to do next. We've soaked it in epsom salt and applied antibiotic cream (without pain killer). However, when we tried to push the vent back in...

Please? We're trying to sew it up with thread but she keeps fighting it. She's a strong little bugger.

My hen, Speckles, seems to have been the victim of a raccoon attack on our coop. Her throat has been ripped in the front and her tongue is hanging out. We haven't done anything so far other than clean the wound with water and rubbing alcohol. What should we do next? We don't have a vet...

I have my flyer and my contract ready! Both are totally unprofessional, but please give me pointers! Flyer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JQH9TqczFetHomjsnX9l3ohKsMzHs-IFX90FFpqKV7c/edit?usp=sharing Contract...

Thanks, I'll prepare different shoes for each coop. Or, bring some disinfectant.

Thank you for all of the advice! I'm getting the word around to all of my friends, who all seem to know at least one family with chickens in the area.

Another thing... I don't own other fowl, but I have done research on them. Do you think I could offer pet-sitting for all types of fowl? I don't think anyone around here owns geese, but there are definitely duck owners.

Thanks! Library is a good idea... or somewhere like a park. In fact, I'll make a flyer right now!

Thanks for your support! I think I'll stick with $10 a day. Do you think I should post an ad on BYC's Buy-Sell-Trade?

I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow. The only thing the feed store here offers is Purina Layena, so they're on that stuff. All of the rest of my ladies have full, lustrous capes, but not these two.

I have two hens who I know are being picked on. They're displaying the common signs of 1) having barely any feathers on the neck, despite being done with molting, 2) always active submissive to the other hens, and 3) being my favorites. One of them isn't quite over riboflavin deficiency yet...

Over winter break, I hope to make some money by offering "chicken sitting" for chicken owners in the area. I live in a rather tight suburb in the Bay Area, and many people around here keep small backyard flocks. Basic services would include maintaining feed and water and basic coop...

She's all cured of being broody now! The reason I didn't want her broody was because she wasn't in full health. One of Penny's legs is nearly back to normal! I'm hoping she'll be fine within a few weeks.

These are absolutely shocking! Do any of you know how to make a nice molting sweater out of fleece? As little sewing as possible is nice since I don't own a sewing machine.

Has anyone ever had a sick hen who wasn't even laying eggs decide to go broody? Yesterday, Penny seemed very distressed, and kept calling to me from the back porch. I couldn't figure out what she wanted. I also found a very, very large poop next to her feeder. Later, she slipped into her...
