Hi. I am Karen. I moved to AR about 7 months ago. I have found 2 chickens, thus far, who have fallen from those trucks. The first was too injured to save....
Hi Karen! I'm glad you made it here. You will find kindred spirits here. Freedom is in a cage in my living room right now. She has been thoroughly peered...
Karen, I was going through my emails backwards and just now read your whole message. Thank goodness you just happened to be passing by at just the right time!...
Hi Ruth. Poor Freedom. I had put antibiotic ointment on those scrapes, but did not thoroughly clean them as I didn't want to stress her more or cause more...
Linda, thank you for the post. I'm with you. I just cannot...cannot understand why people do not realize that ALL animals bleed, feel pain, get scared and...
Hi Karen! thank you so much for helping freedom - what a traumatic start to such a change in her circumstances! when i think of the way chickens are treated...
Hi! I had been welcomed to this site a few days ago, but haven't had a chance to get a message through. My computer hates me, and I don't think it allowed me...
Geez. I'm glad this was posted, but please, if anyone else goes to this site, please have tissues handy. If you're a bird person, and you probably are if...
Hello, all. I've recently been approved to join in on the fallen chicken web site, and wanted to learn more about your birds. I'm always on the lookout for...
Welcome to the group! Its always great to 'see' new faces here. Do you care for any chickens yourself? If so, tell us about them...and you :-) And feel free to...
Sorry it has taken me sooo long to get around to posting. I do marketing for a casino so I am usually kept pretty busy! We picked Freedom up from Ruth last...
Thanks, Erin. I haven't heard from Jessi yet, to know how Freedom is doing, but I am just so grateful that there are still good people out there who care...
Wow, that's so cool that you rescued Freedom and got her to Ruth and are getting her to Jessi! Her new cage probably feels like heaven after what she's lived...
I'll begin by saying 'June' is ok now, but I lost him for a moment this morning. I'd like ideas or suggestions on how to prevent choking on food, and if it...
Gail, I never raised chickens, but my parents did. I called my mother and asked her about this. She said that sometimes the chickens would get something...
Thanks, Jessi. So Freedom is inside, but also goes outside? Is she inside at night? (Just worry about predators.) I am so glad you like her. I think she is...
She is inside but has a nice hot pink 'house' she lives in, in the living room as well. When we are home she roams about (which is 'out') and harasses us and...
Since these guys are voracious eaters, which we all know, sometimes just the sheer amt. of food they are trying to gulp down causes a problem. Have you tried...
Gail, Bo-Bo used to eat so much so fast that there were times when I picked him up, not knowing that he had literally snarfed down a lot of food or water -...
Jessi, Refer to my response to Karen. Everything you say makes sense and seems right on the money. He is not on a regulated amount. He free feeds pretty...
This seems to be a good site: http://www.upc-online.org/chickens/propercare.htm Karen ... him ... something ... the "craw" ... it ... don't ... seem ... was ...
Also, PoultryHelp.com recommends using mineral oil to assist with impacted crop. Any thoughts on this? I do check him periodically to make sure the crop is...
Karen, Thanks for checking this with your Mom. When you mentioned an impacted crop I didn't see how this would cut off the airway, but I looked it up on the...
Jessi, does she wear diapers, like the ones Ruth sells? Yes, she really is a people chicken. When she was so bloody and hurting, she would mostly drink and...
Since they are bred to be eating machines, the more they eat the more meat they produce, he was no doubt ready for dinner when you came home and when he saw...
Adding the oil will cause some diarrhea so be prepared LoL But if his crop isn't impacted (hard and not emptying between meals) then it isn't necessary. A bit...
She hasn't started wearing the diapers yet but when she fills out a bit she will. We just follow her around with paper towels LoL. Luckily everything has been...
