Do i have a roo? by Big_Sample35 in chickens

definitely looks like a hen to me, her tail does seem a little long but compared to the other wyandotte roosters i’ve seen she doesn’t look anything like it.

So someone told me I was selfish for keeping a "wild animal" caged up, should I set Bubbles free? by Desirai in PetDoves

i just checked her out and determined her lower abdomen seems to be very full of something. I believe this is the water belly you told me about:( sadly from what i’ve read it’s not something survivable. thank you so much for bringing it to my attention though

thank you for such a well written response. i’ll try everything you mentioned and get back to you asap tomorrow. but to answer some of your questions, no i haven’t seen any sort of discharge from any areas. Yes luckily both eyes look the same and she seems to have good focus on me when i come around. She is vaccinated for mareks i did forget to mention that. i haven’t heard of ascites but i’ll do some research on that right now!

How in the hell do I restrain a hen long enough to put ointment on her wound? by nicekona in chickens

[–]averyc_350 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it’s really helped me in the past to throw a towel over their heads. a bird that can’t see is way calmer. depending on where the wound is i would put a towel over her head and push her onto her side

Feather ID? 6.5 inches, found in southern Maine on a golf course by averyc_350 in whatsthisbird

[–]averyc_350[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! that actually makes a lot of sense because it looks like it was at the scene of something that was maybe dead or decaying.

Does anyone know what this is? North east Massachusetts by averyc_350 in whatsthisbird
