Last Thursday, I started treating E with Metronidazole 250mg, with 1.5 tsp copper sulfate solution ( Acidified copper sulfate crystals mixed with Apple cider vinegar and water) in 2 quarts of water in the water feeder, starting this past Sunday (fresh water along with solution every day). I've...

Earlier this week, I discovered one of my girls, E, has canker. No one else seems to have it. E is on day two of Metronidazole 250 mgs. I ordered Acidified Copper Sulfate which should arrive early next week. From what I've read, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water, should be the only source of...

It seemed like she was doing better. Went out of town this weekend, I came back and noticed she is sometimes huddling and closing her eyes. Holding her, I noticed she drooled a bit, then I looked inside her mouth and I think it's canker. Apologies for the terrible photo. Anyway, I cleaned out...

Last two mornings, she hasn't emptied her crop but it isn't huge. I can feel grains in her crop. I've been giving her coconut oil and massages in the morning and before bedtime to get the crop going. I did see a pile of poop yesterday am where she roosts. Hard to tell this morning, a bunch of...

While treating her for sour crop, can she still eat feed? I haven't separated her.

Thank you Azygous. The flock's water has Corid as a preventative - would that interfere with miconazole?

Azure Egger, about 4 years old, going through molt. I've noticed the last two days she will occasionally stand huffed up, sometimes on one leg. I checked her out yesterday and noticed she had fishy smelling breath. Didn't see any cankers. Thinking it might be sour crop, I checked her crop this...

Received results from the fecal sample I sent earlier this week from the state poultry lab, heavy infestation of capillaria. In the past, I've used Safeguard, I'll switch to panacur for treatment. Should I use amoxicillin the same time I treat for Capillaria for her? Or hold off?

Thanks everyone. I'll need to look into water belly. The bloatness has decreased slightly. As far as an antibotic, what do you suggest? I gave her some oregano oil, which I have on hand.

Last Thursday, my Azure Egger (age 4) exhibit symptoms that I thought were along the lines of Vent Gleet -yellowish/white discharge, hunched over, not eating or drinking. Comb is bright red. No poop, only green, yellow droppings (I remove poop piles daily from the coop). Haven't seen any...

So another round of Safeguard which will make three rounds of treatment since March 5. Is that common?

No, it wasn't moving.

This morning, I noticed the following, which I think is roundworms. Every morning, I clean out the coop, I haven't noticed an uptick of diarrhea (maybe two incidents?) with the ladies, mostly firm fecal droppings.The flock ranges in age from 4-2 years old. I have noticed one of my eggers kinda...

Not from her mouth, from her vent. What should I check on her legs? Mites?

Hi Cherrynberry, not purple. Her comb looks floppy- she was born that way. :) Also, haven't seen any blood in their poop.
