My little hen has sour crop. I have given her apple cider vinegar (I used a full syringe 5 ml) on maybe 5 occasions, otc cream for yeast infections, several syringes of fresh egg and water (because she hasn’t eaten in about 9 days), and plain yogurt ( no interes). Yesterday I gave her some food...

I‘ve recently lost 2 chickens, both times from 2:00-4:00 in the afternoon. My first chicken, I originally found nothing but some tail feathers. Not a drop of blood, carcass, or body part to be found. Yesterday, another chicken disappeared. I found a few feathers from her head. Upon...

just found a giant hawk on one of my chickens. All body parts are in tact however one of his wings have been eaten done to the bone. A large portion. The little fellow is still alive and can walk, I don’t know if his wing is broken or what I just don’t know what to do other than to clean him...

I have 3 month sultan, female I think. We thought she broke one of her legs and removed her from her friends and brought her indoors to recover. Gave her warm water epsom salt soaks and checked her leg everyday. She did not seem to be bothered with me moving it around. Then one day her leg was...

My little boy is sick and I’m not sure what’s going on. 1. looks like a few of my girls have been picking on him. The top part of one foot is swollen and it looks like his foot has bled in spots. I applied peroxide to confirm dried blood spots. It looks like the scales on his foot are missing...

I have a 2 yr old Rhode Island Red and sHehas never layed eggs. She has always been very active, a fast runner, and not very friendly. Lately she has slowed down, stays to herself, has an extended abdomin that hangs low and she waddles when she walks. She will let me walk up, pick her up, and...

we bought this little buff looking chick and was assured it was a new hampshire red. She sure doesn’t look like it! Now I’m thinking a red crested polish, but I’m not sure. I can’t really can’t find any pictures that match. She is right at 3 weeks old. She is starting to get red wattles and red...

Tonight I was taking care of my little girl who jumped out of her coop a week or so ago. She is doing well but still cannot walk. I have no idea what the problem is. ANyway, I was checking her all over thinking I might have missed something and I did. Near the very tip of her tail-topside, I...

Tuesday I made a post about my chicken who jumped out of her coop and afterwards could not walk. I have been trying to nurse her back to health. She has no visible injuries, no lice, no mites or other critters. She has a clean vent, no bulging stomach, clean eyes, no drainage from eyes or nose...

Yesterday my girl hopped out of her coop, fell to the ground and was not able to get up. She can't stand, walk, or balance herself. I brought her into the house and checked her out. There are no visible injuries. She does not seem to be in pain when I move her feet, legs, wings or press on her...

I just found one of my silkies nearly pecked to death. Almost all of the feathers n her back have been pulled off. They started on her head and wings. She has a large hole very close to her vent. She is still alive. I had to bath her to remove all of the blood, applied vetericy spray, and...

I made a post earlier this afternoon about my rooster having flystrike. Because I was worried about maggots entering his body via his vent I read several old posts about flystrike and it was suggested that I inject water into his vent...a chicken enema. Well I did that, with warm water and epsom...

I have a 5 year old silkie that has/ has Flystrike. I have removed the maggots, trimmed his feathers, soaked his butt in salt and Epsom salt baths, given him a bath, sprayed his butt with vetercyin since Sunday. I have also given him some leftover antibiotics. He seems to be better each day and...

my rooster has what appears to be dry pox on his comb based on the images i have seen, the dry looking black spots. He now has a few spots on his comb the largest about the size of a nickle. they are the color of wet pox (yellow/white). Is wet pox only in their mouth? Can they get wet pox on...

I have a 4 year old mixed silkie rooster. We have noticed that he is sleeping in one of the nesting boxes instead of roosting as he normally does. When he goes to get up he stumbles and falls over as if he has lost his balance. We have checked him over and he doesn't seem to have any physical...

We have a 6 month old New Hampshire rooster that we thought was a hen when she was purchased. We Also have 6 bearded silkie hens and a silkie rooster. All of the chickens get along with one another and our young rooster leaves the other rooster alone. Now that our Katnip is interested in...

I gave a little silkie girl that is about a year old. She is sneezing non-stop. She did this back in august and I took her to the vet and she was given Baytril. The vet we saw has relocated out of state and the practice does not have another doctor that will see chickens. I called them to see if...

Here is a picture of my little rooster and his wattles. Both wattles look like this. So I am confused on wether or not he has fowl pox or if he has favus as some one mentioned in my post from yesterday,

Our little rooster has tiny white spots on both of his wattles. The spots are near the edge on both sides of his wattles. Also the edges of his wattles are feel hard and have a black look to them, they are not soft like the used to be. I tried to pick them off, but no luck. The spots also feel...
