    My sweet 12 year old rooster aspirated water today and I hate myself. Please help if you can.

    No change today he's still rattling and a little wheezy but acting normal otherwise. How long will it take for that rattle to resolve if no infection? Also, does anyone know if dry air or humid air is best for him right now? I want to put him back outside but it's 90 and humid.

    My sweet 12 year old rooster aspirated water today and I hate myself. Please help if you can.

    Thanks for the reply that is good to know! I hope your 9 year old is doing well! I never thought chicks would live this long but I'm grateful for them. I started with him and his 12 hens and now down to just the two of them they're like an old married couple lol. He's about the same today...

    My sweet 12 year old rooster aspirated water today and I hate myself. Please help if you can.

    He's a tiny bantam (d'uccle), he's 12 years old and a love of my life. I've always known something wasn't right with his esophagus/trachea because for his whole life he has drank water in a weird way to avoid choking. It's peculiar. It works for him but he has to go to some lengths. Because of...

    Anyone good at math? Dosing 'Tetroxy HCA 280' from avian vet

    Thanks! I wonder why the vet's instructions are so different from the package instructions. Ugh I don't know which one to go by. So would this math be right IF I used the vet's dosage (1 whole bag to 5 gallons)? There's 1 1/4 cup powder in the whole bag - to be added to 5 gallons water 1 /1/4...

    Anyone good at math? Dosing 'Tetroxy HCA 280' from avian vet

    So I took my very sick 12 year old rooster to the avian vet today. They were not very thorough, but they said upper respiratory infection and gave me a bag of Tetroxy HCA 280. The bag says it is "280g (9.87oz)" The vet tech and the rx label both say "Mix the entire bag with 5 gallons of water...

    Anyone used Ivermectin without pre-treatment of wazine?

    Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes I used the 5% pour on for cattle. Egg withdrawal is 10-14 days. Mine is a bantam and I used 3 drops (using a poly-vi-sol dropper) on the skin where her shoulders meet her neck. I think it's 4 or 5 drops for a regular size chicken. From what I've researched...

    Help identify an old western movie?

    I was little when I saw it and don't recall much but I associate it with a special time in my childhood. I saw it around the mid 70's, in color, and I think it was a Western. Here's what I remember, it aint much. - A man is riding his horse towards the camera from a distance. As he gets...

    What did the feedstore sell me???? Any guesses???

    I really can't help much but I thought all Wyandottes had yellow legs like my white Wyandottes do. Maybe just my computer, but the legs in the OP look green? If they are, I think it would have to be an EE.

    Will they re-accept an absent flock member?

    Everything went pretty smooth this morning. They remember her. The rooster had the biggest reaction, he chased her and wing danced around her for a while but he finally settled down. The other hens weren't too concerned with her. I guess since she's always been the bottom hen on the pecking...

    Henpecked girl out of isolation, back into the flock

    I just put one of my hens back on the roost tonight too. And like your hen, she is also lowest in pecking order, but she's never been bloodied or injured by anyone. She was inside for 10 days. Well everyone freaked out tonight when I put her on the roost. I guess I should have waited til it...
