Hello, any updates??

One of my hens keeps getting into the area where heating fuel/oil spilled all over the ground a month ago. The ground was covered in leaves & I thought was frozen, but she managed to dig/peck her way through to reach the soft soil where there’s still oil residue/fuel that got absorbed into the...

Following because my hen's feet looks like this & I wasn't able to find a kernel at all! There was a lot of blood too but I wasn't sure if I was digging too deep. I've been doing the salt bath first, trying to get the infection out, and clotting/cleaning the area with diluted betadine solution...

Following! I’m having the same issue on my bantam where there is a lot of white, stringy pus and no kernel. Lots of bleeding too so i can barely see what’s going on

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, she healed and I got her 3 other bantam companions! She's at the bottom of the pecking order though since she's the smallest :(

I have the exact same issue!! Do you have any updates? My chicken has a gash from a hawk attack just below her vent/butt hole, and her poop runs down and gets stuck all around the stitches. I'm worried about infection and how to clean/remove the poop without damaging the stitches! What's worse...

Hi! These last 2 weeks, my hen has been losing feathers and itching all over, specifically her neck, and has been eating/drinking less and less. At first, I thought she was going through a slow molt with all the itching and feathers she was losing, but many are the fluffy down feathers. She's...

So my family and I visited the ocean harbor and saw waterfowl (mainly wild ducks) in the water and some seagulls flying around. For context, there are 2 cases of avian flu in my county and both flocks were euthanized. We don't think we accidentally stepped in fresh bird poop, but could have...

She doesn't lay anymore but she still has broody tendencies. I think her last egg was mid-February? No, other symptoms other than her poop being more watery and she seemed to groom herself more which caused more feather loss. I saw no moving mites/lice, but noticed small pin feathers growing

Thank you! I will also add that she seemed very sad/traumatized after the animal attack and after living inside (in the warmth) did she start laying eggs and regained color in her comb/waddle. I had planned to revoke her to an animal sanctuary with chickens after winter ended so she'd be less...

Her flock mates died in early September! She spent 2 months outside with supervision but she laid eggs inside the house and slept in the garage. When winter hit & it got too cold, she started living inside as a house pet: sunbathing and laying eggs, but then she got broody recently and kept...

Hello! I'm distressed and seeking advice because my only hen (sole survivor of animal attack) seems unwell: her comb/waddle has turned pale pink and drooped, which is a drastic difference from how it stood tall and red 2 months ago (picture comparison). She's been opening her mouth more...

Hi, this is my 1st time posting and 1st time chicken owner after my dad irresponsibly bought chicks in March 2020. We experienced a predator attack that left us emotionally traumatized, with only 1 small hen left named Jin (we thought Jin was a cute name but didn't know the chick's gender at the...

I am in a similar situation - we recently lost the rest of our flock (2 roos) to an animal attack and now our little hen is list. It's devastating because the 3 of them spent the most time together and she definitely realized she was all alone. She's super nervous going outside because she feels...
