One of my chickens has really bad wounds on her back, she is holding on (it’s been like 4 hours since) but I doubt she has long if untreated.
I think she is in shock, she still walks and eats fine, she is just very slow. How can I treat this and stop an infection??
I got Plymouth Rock chickens from the store and I’m sure they made a mistake. I’m convinced these chickens are ayam cemani, but I know there are more breeds fitting my chickens, and I’m curious to know what breed they are.
They are:
All black, meat, blood is darker, and comb/wattles is black...
(FYI - Sad story)
About a month ago I made a post about a sick chicken I had, she sadly died :( and I was wondering why. Initially, she was sluggish, lagging behind, and closing her eyes. (She was prob 6 months old, and was low on the pecking order.)
I thought this was fine as it fit her...
One of my chicken’s eyes is cloudy, and she doesn’t want to leave it open and keeps blinking. She is about 2 years old, and I haven’t seen this behavior yesterday. I believe it’s an infection, and I’m wondering what the best thing to do is.
My light Brahma hen is about 5 months old and recently started laying eggs. She has always been the "slower hen" and has lately been noticeably sleepy. Yesterday, I gave the flock mealworms and she stood sleepily and only got excited when I hand-fed her. (she had a great appetite then).
