I would also give her water, just saying. Please also watch that no one is pulling up grass to give the chickens. Some very sweet children came to my house and pulled grass and threw it over the fence. Little did I know at the time that is what clogged her up in the first place. Chickens love...

Hello and thank you for your reply. There is nothing in her eye, just swollen around the eye. So worried about her, just hoping someone can help me with this.

I just posted about my Bantem hen with swollen eye, I can see I have 4 replys but do not know what to click on to see what people are posting So Sorry this is the first time for me on this new forum. My email is [email protected] if this helps

The first picture is her good eye. She is eating and drinking fine. I do not know what caused her eye to swell, no visable bite, has been swollen for three days. I've been putting neomyasin ointment in her eye and holding a warm wet cloth on her a couple of times a day. I have VetRX and been...

I appreciate your help, will order some for external leg mites on their legs. Thanks again,

Can someone please tell me an antibotic that will help with scaly leg mites? I've tried putting vaseline, utter butter, on their feet to smother them out but it doesn't seem to work. I've been using DE on roost and on the floor. I have all hens some 4 year olds and 1 year old and 6 months old...

Thank you everyone I will start setting traps tomorrow, I did see the chickens running around the other day with a dead mouse. I'm glad I did not put out poison. They finally did leave it alone and I picked it up, but they had a good time with it.

I'm seeing about six mice in the coop each night when I lock up the chickens, any save way of getting rid of them, Thank you for any help

I am trying to get this under control before it gets worst. I asked at the local feed store and all she had was Bag Bomb Salve. I did buy it was I think they need more and she doesn't have anything else for it. If someone can tell me what to put on there I can order it was Jeffers, I had a hen...

Fingers cross also.

When you get time can you add how you went about the procedure, it always helps to read and learn from those who tries something on our feathered friends. I'm so glad to hear she is well, I'm sure she will do fine. Great job well done

Had to post again, the picture where she is looking at the camera almost looks like she's saying "What's all the fuss about"!

Oh my that is great news, best I've heard in a while. She looks great too! I agree about waiting, I waited too long. Only had chickens a short while and wasn't as willing to do surgery, but I'm very happy for you.

Good luck and many prayers Speckledhen: You can do this, I've read your many posts and you will do fine. Please do post results I will be waiting to hear something.

If there is anything I've learned in raising chickens, is that the favorites always died for some reason. One of my favorites, a BO that I had in the house for 3 weeks over Christmas, sick from a lack of vitamin E. Don't know why this cured her, but she started out losing all control of her head...
