Exactly. I don’t kno enough about breeding lines and such so I was hoping maybe someone who does breed— may be able to give some insights as to what could be causing this. Right now my speculation is that she is aware there is some health issue but just doesn’t want to cut years of project...

Hi guys. So I have been having some concerns about the health of my flock. Last July I got 5 ameraucana pullets from a local ermine ameraucana breeder. One of my girls ended up having a cancerous tumor diagnosed back in March. She was only 3 months old when she began showing symptoms and only 7...

They are on the crumbles not the mash — because we quickly figured this out 😅 They do get the mash as a “scratch”in their poppy peck toy with grubs though

The thing thats concerning is how these wrinkles are happening in several hens now and also more consistently. Another thought is, they are on scratch and peck grower feed. As we have a rooster so this is their all flock. They have free choice oyster shell which some clearly seem to over indulge...

I have not fortunately seen really any other symptoms aside from sneezing and one of my hen has an off and on wheeze

Hi guys So I have had some off and on symptoms w my flock and I feel like they could have underlying IBV. While no one has any clear respiratory issues, one of my hens has had an off and on wheeze since she was a pullet. I also have a few hens that sneeze more frequently and my roo occasionally...

Thankyou so much!!

Hi guys! I’m curious who here lives in unincorporated king county. I’m needing to move w my rooster and wondering where I can go aside from Everett (they allow Roos). I know of several families in White center with roosters. Is this because it’s not enforced in unincorporated areas? What are...

Not best shot but have 8 birds outside 1 inside

So I have a flock and we have been going through way too much drama lately. Not only do I have a young hen with cancer (thus tending to her and trying to keep the stress down) I have another hen that is being like over the top neurotic about digging. Sure all hens dig. Some dig more than...

That’s good to hear — I just have heard mentions of mareks and blah blah as a cause for the tumor. It won’t be confirmed unless a necropsy is done when she passes but I would assume I’d see my other flock members having issues after all these months. But then again my vet said that some live...

Thoughts on these poos? They look a bit abnormal to me. I have had a devastating scare with one of my very young hens (she has a cancerous mass in her abdomen) so now I am on edge with the rest of my flock. Everyone is acting perfectly healthy and this issue with my hen has been going on for a...

Very helpful thanks! I have been giving probiotics that include oregano as well. my hen has been improving and finally eating again— though she is laying down and walking w her tail down this evening. Usually seems to be worse in the evenings (after eating more..?) this concerns me there is a...

Ok good. I guess im paranoid about the squiggles now as they weren’t as prevalent before the worms… that I noticed I don’t remember if I mentioned I had a very ill hen. Steady decline and then stopped eating. Anyway after a week she is finally back to eating! I think bc of not eating she got...

Can u let me kno If this poop looks normal about 5 days after deworming? I still see the weird little squiggly things but they are not moving. Are they still pushing parasites out this many days later?

My sweet boy Eggy somehow managed to cut his back toe this morning. I noticed he was holding his foot up a bit and then saw the cut w dried black blood. I washed it w warm water and a little dawn (it was sandy) and sprayed with vetericyn a few times today. I also attempted an epsom soak but it...

Poo doesn’t look great BUT it is solid for first time in a week so this is hopeful! She also made quite the fuss to come out for their supervised free range time today and she is very happy about it. Still a little weak — understandably but she seemingly is doing better than the last few days.

This is what I have been giving her and unfortunately she stopped taking it. Probs bc there has been medicine in it and she caught in by day 5
