How to drain a chicken with water belly.

www.chickiesadventures.com chickiesadventures@gmail.com I noticed my chicken, Tiddly had started to breathe quite fast lying down. Her tail was bobbing and I discovered from the internet that this is not a good sign. Chickens tails start to bob when there is some sort of inflammation or swelling inside them. They dont have cavities like us separating their internal organs so if there is pressure somewhere inside them it pushes on all their other organs including their heart and lungs. After 3 weeks of her breathing getting faster and faster, I totally panicked and I found a vet that specialised in exotic aniamls. The first time I took her, the vet didn't syring that much liquid from her and her breathing pretty much stayed the same. I took her back 2 weeks later and this time she was brilliant and she syringed 880ml from my chicken's belly and put her on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. I am not too keen on pharmaceuticals but I see a place for them in emergencies now. I think w Her breathing went from 60 breaths per minute to 17 breaths per minute immediately. It took her about a week to start perking up. Whilst she was at the ver the vet checked her internally and said she could feel a hard nodule and her prognosis was that chickens often get probelms with their ovaries because of all the laying that they do, a bit like a woman haveing child after child with no break. THings start to drop and get saggy eventually and this can result n tumours amongst ther things. Tiddly was a bit spaced out when she got back. She looked a little hunched up and I wasnt sure if she would imrove but gradually she did.. After her course of antibiotics I gave her 5 days of chicken vitamins to boost her system. Fortunately she started eating a lot immediately so within a few weeks she was looking normal again and in 4 weeks she was back to normal. I started her on mineral salts after her anti-biotics. These work slowly to correct imbalances, in the same way as it takes a while for your body to rebuild itself after illness. When animals or birds are ill they drink a lot of water and Tiddly was drinking a lot of water before her belly was syringed and afterwards so I included a cell salt for water balancing for her. and This is the combination I gave to her and am still giving her two months later: Calc Fluor 6x - for hard tumours Nat Mur 6x - to balance water in cells, for excessive thirst, odema Nat Sulph 6x - eliminates toxins through urine Cal Sulph 6x - blood purifier Calc Phos 6x - anaemia (her crest/comb looked pale) Crush one tablet of each in with 1 ml of water and give 0.5ml in the morning and 0.5ml in the afternoon for at least a month. If there is a tumour then give Calc Fluor for at least 4 months. You gan give twice per day at 0.5 ml at a time (about half a tablet in water) and then after about two months you can give 0.5ml once per day. Use your intuition as to what feels right... I have swapped calc sulph for kali sulph now...I will explain in the next video! Email me at chickiesadventures@gmail.com

We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness. I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My YouTube channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool. My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities. When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods.

Chicken Coop Build - Now Complete [pt2]

We helped Josh's wife make a DIY Greenhouse with help from Lowe's. It was a fun & challenging build, but Lowe’s is the perfect partner to help you finish your fall projects and get back to enjoying what matters. Look below for everything we used in this project!

This way, she can keep her plants alive during the winter months and incubate some new plants so they're ready for the spring. Josh began the design with a 3d model in Fusion 360. We got our bill of materials and the cut list then headed to our local Lowe's to get the supplies to begin framing the structure. I chose to use pressure treated lumber for this exterior addition to resist the moisture and humidity that may build up inside the greenhouse. Using Josh's measurements, we nailed together the floor and added the front and back wall studs. Before adding a structure to your yard, you may chose to grate and level the area beforehand. Josh didn't want to tear up the yard, and here in Kentucky, the clay is super hard. In lieu of digging into the ground to level it, we chose to level the floor frame by adding 2x4 posts semi-driven into the ground. This way, Josh and i could level the floor and nail it to those posts along the span of the greenhouse. Now that we had a level surface to work from, we continued to build out the frame by connecting the front and back studs and then connecting those two walls with some ceiling joists. For the greenhouse floor, Josh wanted something that could resist any standing water that would fall down from the plants. We found some engineered siding panels at Lowe's that are weather-resistant and come in large, 4' x 8' sheets. These panels are only 3/8" thick, so we added another layer of pressure treated 1/2" plywood to ensure the floor was strong enough to walk on. We fit three of these double-layered panels on top of the floor frame, making sure to cut around the wall studs and secured them with screws. For the greenhouse's exterior, it is possible to simply cover the bare frame with the clear polycarbonate sheets, but because of this greenhouse's size, that would take more than the 10 panels we allotted for this project. We had to order the sheets from Lowes.com and the came in a pack of 10. So rather than sacrificing the size of the greenhouse, Josh got creative and added a decorative element to the outside that helped use less polycarbonate. We decided to use the cutoffs of the engineered, exterior sheeting to make a skirting of wood panels that wrapped around the greenhouse. To cover any seams and to give the element some definition, Josh cut up some 1x4 trim pieces that really set the decorative element apart. It looked really nice and flowed super well with the overall design. Again, these step is optional, but it does look fantastic and it helps save on the more expensive material later. At this point in the project, we have a nice looking frame of a greenhouse. To make it functional as a greenhouse, we need a way to trap the radiant heat from the sun inside the structure. We found many ways to do this from using reclaimed windows, rolls of plastic tarp pulled tight, glass panes, and sheets of acrylic.

It ends up being a line running from one side to the other, hence being called a “zip”. the timeframe from pip to zip is typically around 24 hours Rare Lavender-Self Blue Old English Game Bantam Chicken making peeping sounds from inside the egg and hatching ❤️ Raising Chickens Series Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWw0RYD-dzw4rEk_XLtQ075yDefVZlwwb💜 Do not lend assistance unless a shell has been pipped. A chick that is too poorly developed or too weak to pip is not likely to survive. If it pips the shell but does not start cutting a circle around the shell within 12 hours, gently chip the shell from around the pip hole. If you see blood, stop and wait a few hours to avoid hemorrhage. If the shell membrane dries out (changes from translucent white to parchment tan) gently moisten it. Do not drip water into the pip, as the baby’s beak is right there and you don’t want to run the risk of drowning the bird. And remember, if you keep opening the incubator to see what’s going on, you contribute to the problem by reducing the humidity. https://www.cacklehatchery.com/egg-incubation-should-you-help-chickens-hatch/ Holistic items such as herbs, probiotics, and colloidal silver work together to optimize the health of your flock. http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0375-15892012000500010 Symptoms are: messy fluff around the vent yellowish, foamy diarrhea bloody droppings ruffled feathers poor appetite lethargy standing alone with closed eyes weight loss due to inability to absorb nutrients in food eventual death DIY Colloidal Silver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xZ4XZv5Sa4&t=190s 🐔 Welcome to Sunshine Country!❤️ If you want to feed the chickens or contribute to medical supplies for rescued chickens, thank you so much!
