Today both Cheeya and Kukoo got stuck in a sticky mouse trap. It was absolutely terrible, were completely stuck. We rushed to the vet, they managed to get them out. They are critical now as the vet said the trauma could kill them. They have lost a lo
Thanks for reaching out. First, providing heat support in the range of 80-85 degrees, as loss of feathers means loss of insulation. Less insulation means heat loss and more calories expended to stay warm. Next, the glue needs to be removed through warm baths and mild soaps, such as Dawn dish soap. Work on small areas so as not to greatly stress her. Maintain good nutrition as lots of calories needed to grow new feathers. Good luck.

My chick's droppings are reddish brown
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco. In order to help, a little more information may allow us to guide you better. How old is the chicken? What is she eating? What is her environment? Is she inside or outside? The coloration of stool can change depending on what the bird is eating or sometimes due to parasites or illness. This website might give you a little bit more info https://the-chicken-chick.com/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive/ But please feel free to repost your question, with a little more information on how long this is been going on, if the Bird is acting normally and eating well, and possibly some pictures of the chicken and her stool.

There are mice that live in our chicken house is that ok? Will the mouse droppings hurt them? Another thing is one of the chickens has like no feathers is this normal?
It would be best to discourage mice being in the coop as much as possible, either by setting traps or making sure the grain fed to the chickens is hung out of reach and all grain-bins are closed. While they may not transmit much or anything to your hens, the droppings can transmit diseases to the humans cleaning the coop if not properly handled. Chickens should have feathers. It is possible your hen is molting (losing feathers while new ones grow in) which is normal and happens yearly for most chickens, and you will see pin (or short pin-like) feathers signaling new feathers regrowing. If your chicken is not regrowing the feathers or is being picked on, it may indicate an issue such as being bullied, parasites, illness, etc and should be checked out by a vet.

what to feed my chickens of about 4 to 6 months of age....and is there some common medicines to be fed...if so..and what food should be given to them please guide
If they are egg layers, feed a layer feed. For chickens raised for meat, feed a grower feed. Vitamins can be added to food or water. Medications should only be administered on the advice of a veterinarian who has physically examined them.

I had a pair of zebra finches in a closed cage. I had it for 4 days. The birds are in my terrace. All night I close the cage with a bedsheet. The 5th day morning when I removed the bedsheet only one Finch was there. The cage was fully closed. But the
I am sorry for your loss. Cats, opossum, & raccoons are all very adept at hooking & pulling a small bird thru the cage bars. You must protect your birds with a strong enclosure. Perhaps you can build a box using strong lumbar & wire cloth. Otherwise, bring your cages in at night to protect your precious birds. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.
