Just sharing one of my babies.

just sharing some new chicks from my last hatch.

Just wanted to share my experience, band aids were too hard on my silkies with their fluffy feet. I do the rubber band treatment but make a very small tight bow knot (so it doesn't unravel) and slip their feet into the loops. It's a two man job but it works! Here's Tiny Tim who got trampled by...

Just chronicalling my journey! So it's been almost a week on Baytril, slight improvement as the eye discharge is slowly coming out in a thick white cream from her inner eyelid. I'm sure she has sinusitis as well. But it's moving, I can tell she also is swallowing some when she gives me this look...

Alright, so I FINALLY received the Baytril I ordered on 11/30, and it came on 12/9 with priority overnight. She had been getting better in her eye but still very swollen and with loose droppings. I've managed to reverse the wry neck. But after one treatment of baytril (last night) there is a...

Here she is this morning, that right eye...

Hopefully this thread can also provide valuable information to others. I will keep you posted on her recovery. This was her Nov 15

Wow thank you for the detailed information on Baytril!! I'm only going to do one drop on a piece of grape for dosage and have her take it orally. But on a brighter note I started the aloe vera eye technique yesterday, I have some growing. And there is improvement this morning! The swelling is...

Thanks for the article. I guess I'm concerned with overall immunity stressors in sulfas vs baytril and good bacteria death. Either way she has been on buttermilk and has colloidal silver in the water. I will see how tomorrow goes and base my decision on her eyes in the morning. Really trying to...

But I will win this fight. :)

Thanks Kathy, I was debating on starting baytril as its not as strong as sulfas. I was also considering taking a fecal sample to CAHFS in San Bernadino after the holiday weekend if things don't improve. I appreciate your feedback. I may start the baytril in 48 hours if I don't see improvement...

Hello friends, I'll try to summarize this challenging experience. Two shipped pullets got lost in the mail, finally arrived days late, one dead and one in critical care end stage dehydration. That was 11/15. It's been 24/7 care with feedings, vitamins, you name it. She had worms, mites, appeared...

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to share in my experience, avocados are typically never the cause of death or illness in poultry. I was raised on an avocado ranch, family business. There are many benefits and the seed is actually a cancer killer, that is why it routinely is...

thanks, I love her too! Amazing personality. She's from my top buff hen who is queen and my dark blue showgirl rooster. They've been throwing unique color combos. But Rita struts her stuff with the big girls and I'm sure she will be the next queen of the coop!

Ok here is my current crush. Hatched on 3/17 and her coloring is so striking, it's been great to watch her grow out.this is her as a baby And her today! That crest is too die for and she knows it! I was surprised that her crest color flipped to blue, and a striking white breast that fades to...
