I'm guilty of being in this position myself ... some might not agree, but I would use this time and then discard. It hasn't been exposed to the outside element. I'm sure it would still do the job.

I just buried my rooster Franky It happened so fast! He was jerking his head, fell limp, let out a big sigh and was gone - I never saw anything like it before To your question; early May was last worm. Something must have been going on internally with him.... He hasn't been 100%, I been...

He just had what I think was a heart attack in my arms!!! I picked him up and that was it . My big boy is gone

It seems I was wrong :( Vet switched out his Meds (after 7 days on Metronitozole) to baytril (pill), on this day 3 with NO improvement .... He's actually doing worse . The only thing we haven't done is have a X-ray ... should I try worming even though the fecal came back Negitive? This is...

Oh man, I have a 3 year old Rooster severely under the weather... After 11 days of of antibiotics (7 with one and 4 days on baytril) his wattles are just starting to go pale. It's as he is fading away. If I didn't do a fecal test I would worm again. I'm at a loss of what to try next...

4 days on antibiotics, and my Rooster is standing, crowing and eating more each day!!!! I'm really starting to think that breaking his beak started this downhill tailspin into a weakened immune system inspite of my efforts to hand feed, deep dish access for food and ACV / Garlic in water...

Well, vet called this morning.... Fecal test came back negative for worms and gram stain was inconclusive.... The antibiotic will cover any infection for now.... The vet said that with production chickens any and all bad genetics will be passed down (from hatcheries). Reputable breeders or...

Thanks Kathy! The vet did a fecal, and put him on metronidazole. She didn't think that he had a respiratory issue based on the progression of his illness. She told me for now to open his mouth and feed him dry moistened cat food and what ever else he will take. Grapes, blueberries and...

So I really don't like the way my boy looks, so I'm Running through a list for the doc; wormed in May, broke his beak on July 1st, no bugs, feet look okay, legs okay, weight is down about 2lbs, very weak and crow non existent....Off And running to the Vet NOW!

I have started Duramyacin-10 (only antibiotics in house at the moment). Could it be a respiratory thing? No other signs - mostly weakness. I'm going to put Vaseline on his legs, checked feet - I noticed a very tiny dot (I put Prid on it and wrapped it). Ugh

Anybody?

Heavy breathing, not drinking, and very weak crow if not at all. He looks at is food, but will only take fruit and bread from my hand. An occasional meal worm - half of a scramble egg yesterday. He is separate from his hens two days now.... He's not showing any other signs (eyes, nostrils are...

Using Wazine 17: I think that I have asked this question before..... Should we put out treatment in water in the morning for the first 12 hours, then repeat for the very next day for 12 hours to make it 24 hours in total? Or, just one day for 12 hours ?

Upon further inspection, as the morning has gotten brighter... My rooster must have injured his leg, his spur is missing flush to the leg. It's not bleeding now, looks dried at the moment. Suggestions on what to do going forward and will it grow back? I would like to clean it up before he...

I walked into the coop this morning to let my hens out, and noticed a bright red pile of blood on the coop floor!!!!! I looked above on the roost and notice a large amount of dried blood!!! All my birds appeared fine, no evidence of blood from their bums..... What am I looking at here ...

Hi Ladyearh, It's my experience that chickens eat anything that they can swallow. Mine have eaten glass, rusted nail heads, push pins and an igniter from the back of a bullet (that's the one that almost killed my bird). All by the way came to us in top soil that had garbage in it. Ugh...

Oh my... How devistating :( How old were they? it could have been a combination of not enough ventilation, with them being wet and the temps going down to freezing. I guess you won't know unless you have one of the birds tested or something happens to one of the other remaing birds. Are the...
