Hi Guys, I have a hen who lost a pretty good piece of skin on her neck to what I'm guessing was a raccoon. I washed it with saline, washed it with soap, then iodine, and sprayed it with BlueCoat. This happened yesterday. She's eating and drinking. I happened to go to the vet today for a...

well i guess im just gonna keep an eye on her and gove her more yogurt, flax seeds, food and water with electrolites/probiotics. wish there were more poultry vets! is there any resource to see if there are any other ones closer to me?

the only appointment they had was the 9th and it was 100 to secure it but i wasnt confident she would make it till then

what a great resource that you!

also its late so my brain isnt working but her crop was huge and watery. bigger than my otber girls. i gave them all a dust bath and checked them out. the sick ones was big and scoushy. also before i gave her a bath i tried to syringe her vent to make aure there were no egg pieces and she puked...

update: i gave her a bath. i really dont think shes egg bound tho. no other systems i did find a couple mites and am treating with escelor psp. dont think thats the issue though.

thank you I shall give it a try. Did you have to go to the vet to get the antibiotic? Do you remember what it was? I wont go that route most likely but am curious

They mentioned that because its over the counter and then some other perscription that starts with balx but that has to be prescribed and I'm not sure how I would get it prescribed without going to the vet?

could you feel an egg from massaging her? When you say go into vent, I tried with my other chicken used some lube and a latex glove and felt around but didn't feel anything. Did it work? Food grade oil like olive oil? She isn't walking like a penguin but her tail is a little bit down. She's...

I have a hen who is 5 years old. She's been acting a little weird lately. I noticed it 3 days ago. Just not as peppy. She's still eating and drinking. Her comb is still red, her feet look a little pale but not white. Could just be her coloring its hard to tell. I'm trying to figure out whats...

It doesn't look lime bumble foot to me but at one point in time, especially after swimming in the pond for a while, the flesh around the toe gets really pale and extra puffy. There could have possibly been a wound there but nothing I have noticed. She's been staying in her pen more as well where...

Good Morning from Michigan! I have a peking duck and all summer shes been limbing. we thought it was her lega cauae they are known for having weak legs but upon further infestigation we saw her toe had been puffy. We left it for a while hoping it would heal but it hasnt. I hate seeing her limp...

i have 7 hens 4 roos. 2 of the roos feathers are awful looking. is it from fighting or should i be worried about their health? started in spring. same areas on both mainly their thighs are bald and their wings are broken. ayone seen anything similar?

This is so true! lol Glad I'm not the only one that had questions!

i think shes a jersey giant. did some research and think the roos are black sex links but not 100% sure. tractor supply has a list of breeds which helps and i remember one of these two breeds having a cross with road island red in the description which narrowed it down

i got a straight run pullet chicken at tractor supply in April and it turns out its a roo! I cant remember the breed but want to re-home the two males. any idea what kind they are?

I did it! With my husbands help. Poor guy, definitely was in pain. He seems to be doing a lot better today though, not shaking his head violently anymore. I used a sharp pair of kitchen scissors and cornstarch. Didn't bleed so much but took a couple attempts to cut through. The comb was thick! I...

Hi guys, I went outside this morning an hour after my husband let the chickens out and I found our fav roo under the car shaking his head awkwardly. A closer look found his comb nearly torn off. I looked at some other threads and it seems like I should cut it off. i think this wise as you can...

whats blu-kote?

i have them in the brooder when im at work. its a kiddy pool but she did do it when they were in a smaller area so that could be it. when i come home they follow me to the pond, then garden, then i put them in the duck pen with the others but they all huddle together like they are cold so i...
