Thanks cmom, and Lynne no we are south of Jacksonville.

Hi everyone, I'm in North Fl. Orange Park/Lakeside area.

Thanks so much everyone. Glad to be here. I have asked for help for my sick hen, and started her on antibiotics again last night. I have the vet rx, vitamins & electrolytes w/ some acv in her water as well as food in the cage with her. Hoping she makes big strides with the antibiotics in her again.

Not sure, I just want her better. If it takes longer that's ok. So I will remix at 3/4 tsp per gallon as you said, and give it to her for 5 days. Thanks again :)

Thank you so much Sunflour :) I joined a month or so ago but life has been kind of crazy. Been trying to read what I can. Have a sick chicken atm.i will be sure to check that out too.

At first she wasn't eating or drinking so I gave it to her in a dropper. About 15/20 ml twice the first day. The next day she was doing better and drinking/eating so that is when I mixed it in the water, but also why I was scared to give her anymore once I read your post. I didn't mix a whole...

Thanks so much for your reply CT. The bag of antibiotic doesn't say how many chickens each dose treats. Ihanks again

Help please!! One of my hens is sick, I noticed her away from the rest of the flock this morning and as I let the rest of flock out and took her out of the coop in hopes none of the others get sick as well as to treat her. She is breathing with her mouth open, gurgling and sneezing. At the feed...

Thanks so much. These 2 little ones won't even roost I have tried, and they end up in the nesting box at night. I will just add more bedding in there for them. They are a mix of Cochin and Orpington. They do have a roost in there and their coop is next to the main coop so they see the big...

Hi everyone. I have never posted or commented on here before. My 2 cochin chicks are 9 weeks old and have been living out in the coop for 3 weeks now. We are having a cold front (for Florida) starting today thru next week with rain and dipping to lower 40's. I am just wondering if they have...
