    Name that illness

    Hello, I recieved the final report dor my girl. She had leukemia. From what I can understand, it had invaded her entire system. She had always been a calm girl. So I didn't notice her becoming more calm. But I look back and I can now see she had been sick for a while. So the illness was not...

    Hello and thank you. We loved her. She was a unique character. I still miss her. I did send her to do a necropsy at UC Davis. So far preliminary report is nothing to be seen.

    Name that illness

    Hello!!! She actually spent a good amount of time outside in the front garden area. She was like a dog, in and out. She sunned on the deck, dust bathed in her corner and shredded my plants to her hearts content. I loved her. I took her to Davis to have a necropsy done. I have a preliminary...

    Name that illness

    Her diet is regular all feed. She's also supplemented with red lettuce, fruit, applesauce, eggs, salmon. I've never wormed her. Her vet called back and she's clear of worms and or parasites so we're now waiting on the giardia test to come back. All her symptoms tell me coccidiosis but she's not...

    Name that illness

    I just got a call from the vet and she's clear of parasites but we're still waiting for the giardia results. She's never been wormed since she's been house raised and lives inside with me. I have checked for mites and I see nothing. I check my outside girls as well and have only seen it on one...

    Name that illness

    I have a 4 year old old english hen. She was hand raised and has the love of all of us. However she is ill. At first I thought coccidiosis. She has all the symptoms, but the bloody stool. The Corid isn't working but she's still on it. She has a gray comb and wattles. No sneezing, no wheezing...

    What is she?

    She did. We all love her. So I'm going to accept that she's a buff seabright. She doesn't have the lacing but it doesn't matter. She's perfect how she is.

    What is she?

    Sorry this comes so late. I didn't think of a seabright! From what I can gather she came from a breeder farm here in town. However I don't speak Spanish and it's hard to get my questions through and his answers back. So as far as I know, she's a purebred. But what breed? Haven't a clue. I really...

    What The Heck Is This Sound My Rooster Is Making?

    It could be sadness or depression. Chickens are flock birds. Roosters are affectionate whether it's to us or the girls. Since he's young, he's got a bit of an overload of testosterone right now and has trouble controlling himself. He will mellow with age. It would be better for him to be housed...

    What is she?

    We named her Lulu. My neighbor didn't want her and she was gifted to him along with a black serama. She's suppose to be pure whatever she is, from a breeder. She's so tame and she's so gentle. She scratches to be picked up, yells at the front door to be let out or in. She's slightly bigger than...

    Neutering Roosters

    Omg. Where are you located? Or what vet will do this for you? I have been looking for this option for the longest time. There are you tube videos but there's no way I will do it without anesthesia.. please let me know the name of the vet. It's worth a drive or plane.

    What is she?

    I was given this little hen from a neighbor. Apparently his friend thought he wanted her and he didn't, so I have her. But I can't figure out her breed. Thanks for the help!

    My Serama Died over the weekend, can anyone look at the images and tell me possibly how?

    It's hard to know why they pass. There are so many things ut could have been. The only way to truly know is to have an autopsy. The trembling legs is in most chickens. It's a symptom of unspent energy. No big deal. I am sorry you lost your boy. Their poo also shows symptoms. So make sure to...

    Shes not sweet anymore!

    She's not had babies. I can't allow any more to be added to the flick. I'm stretched a bit thin with what I have. I wouldn't have her except she was having seizures so I kept her to medicate her instead of sending her off to a new owner with the others.

    Shes not sweet anymore!

    You're absolutely right. I wholeheartedly agree with all you've said. Now that she's been outside with the others, she's actually gotten much better. She still comes when I call her, she still wants me to pick her up so she can sit with me. I love her still. She is the most 'un'chicken I've ever...

    Why do chickens "chew" or "smack" their beaks?

    This beak smacking is the same as when your dog licks his lips when you're petting them. It's a sign of happiness and or contentment. Wiping their beak on you is also a sign of that. It's a way to show trust and they're form of love. I have girls and boys that do it when we cuddle them. I hope...

    Shes not sweet anymore!

    She's a bantam mix. I hatched her and raised her. None of mine are for the pot. I'm working with her. She's a smart girl. She knows the word no. She's already stopped pecking and attacking hands. So I consider that a lot of progress.
