Sorry it took so long to reply, things have been hectic. He’s been on his antibiotics for a few doses and his breathing has improved. He weighs just over 9 pounds. Some may not approve of this but I’ve also been giving him albuterol breathing treatments for an about 30 seconds at a time a few...
Ok, awesome. I will order the Baytril right now. Thats not too expensive compared to a vet bill. Any idea what could cause swollen sinuses? Again, thank you so much for your quick responses
No nasal discharge, eyes aren’t cloudy, comb, wattle and earlobes are normal looking. I’ve been trying to upload a video but this is a screenshot from the video. I will try the YouTube upload now. Thank you so much for your fast response. The purple on him is from the wound treatment.
My Alpha rooster, Marco Pollo(Pollo for short), was injured about two weeks ago after going underneath a building and his comb was torn by a protruding screw. Immediately after being injured the younger rooster began attacking him. We treated his injury and he spent the next week in the chicken...
Spotted this guy in my yard by my duck house. He hung around all day and visited with my chickens, helping himself to scratch grains and water. I’ve never seen one of these birds in PA in my 34 years I’ve been alive and was so excited that I spent the entire day just following him around and...
Our ducklings are now 4 weeks old and I’m still stumped as to what breed they are. They came from tractor supply and were the only two mostly yellow ducklings in the tub with a bunch of Muscovy ducklings. We didn’t want Muscovy so took these little dudes instead. I know if I were patient it will...
I’m in Northwest Pennsylvania and the real feel temp is -22F with wind gusts of 50 mph. We live at the top of a hill and I’ve struggled all day to keep my chickens comfortable. Even went against my better judgement and put in a heat lamp so now I’m paranoid about a fire🙁 My coop was not ready...
I found one of my hens like this today☹️ I picked her up and found no signs of trauma and when I sat her back down she was able to stand wobbly for a few seconds before laying back down. Her feet were kind of splayed out and she can’t lift her head. I tried to lift it gently front the bottom of...
We ended up with just over a foot of snow. When I opened the coop door they poked they’re heads out in disgust. I cleared a path to the pavilion and threw some straw down and they slowly started coming out one by one. They still only come out for about 20 minutes at a time but atleast they get...
The ladies and Marco Pollo refuse to leave the coop when there’s snow on the ground. We’re bracing for 12-15 inches by tomorrow so we made a little pavilion for them to hang out in and be able to leave the coop:) They may or may not be spoiled, but oh well. I prefer it that way!😂
