I noticed my brahma scratching her face and vent regularly, and checked on her when I noticed sores on her face and a horrible stink that never seemed to go away. Her vent is a mess of matted feathers and oozing sores, and I'm so regretful that I didn't notice earlier :[ Apart from the...
I can't thank you enough for these resources, and the help (again)!!
There's no abnormalities in his beak, though I admit getting a glance was difficult. From the little research and knowledge I have I thought infectious coryza seemed to fit his description well, though I will look further into...
My rooster, about 4 and a half months old has had a respiratory illness for a couple weeks now, all sneezy and wheezy, he's on electrolyte supplements and vet rx as of the moment, and I use a bit of Vaseline on what seems to be some strain of dry pox, poor guy's so sick! He's been kept away from...
Thank you, I'm in east Texas and the temperature is changing quite a bit, it could be blistery one day, and the next it's cold, could this have contributed? My flock is doing well, it's just the two younger ones who are worsening. One sneezes almost constantly, and the other is completely...
Update: The older chickens have stopped sneezing, but the younger two seem to be getting worse. They both have really runny beaks and wheeze occasionally, and one has been acting sluggish (especially contrasting to his personality), and smells sick, should I separate these and put them under a...
Thank you! Would a kind of penicillin work, and in what form? (sorry, I'm so new when it comes to prescribing medicines to chickens) None of the chickens display any symptoms, other than sneezing, they're all active and seem relatively healthy. Do the infected chickens need a lot of attention to...
Over the course of a few days, my flock has gotten sneezy all of the sudden. I thought it was the temperature change as things start to cool off, or maybe some plant that's flowering. Now, all of the chickens occasionally break out into fits of sneezing–some more than others–and the 12-week-olds...
There's no swelling or heat in his left leg as compared to the other, he is pretty hot though. He has a pretty good resting set up, and I'll cook him some eggs right now!
Thanks for the tips! I'll make sure the flock still remains accustomed to him.
He was taken off of the chick starter for a few days since he's been in the coop, could that have contributed to his injury? I have a gif of him posted here for reference if you need!
Hello! Thank you, it's good to know that they're still in danger at this age, growing up with the flock or not. I heard that 6-7 weeks was the ideal time to introduce, but we still waited until they were a little bigger. Funny enough, they've been pretty acceptive of our little pullet, letting...
