I have a 2year old pullet found losing feathers all over the coop inside and checked to see if she had egg binding but not seen but her vent is
very inflammed and swollen no egg seen but she is not eating or drinking
and she is dead weight.. trying to keep her warm. what does she have and is it...
I have 2 chickens out of 7 that have redness under their feathers near their butt. One has redness on top. What kind of ointment would work well in reducing the swelling and the redness?
Would calendula or neem and lavender work or manuka honey or aloe. I have tried the honey not working.
one year old. she may have scratched herself on a wire bc it was a large wound that seemed to have gotten bigger and using silver and manuka honey packed in the wound with vetrap but it did not stay on. We isolated her from the rest. Home treatment only.
Found one of my pullets has a gaping wound about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep and 3 inches long. Looks like a gash. Not sure how it happened as she was in
the barn coup and then some of the flock pecked at it because it was bloody but because I didn't notice it right away, it looks like it...
i have a hen that looks like vent gleet and prolapse. Hen is laying. Can you give me some treatment
protocols and can I get this a tractor supply only poultry store here.
I read that we should separate our rooster (now one year old) and that we can mix feather fixer
feed in with their layer feed. How much of that should we mix in with the feed? about one cup or
more?
The feathers my girls are all plucked out on top of their backs. I wish I had known how to fix...
We rigged a nest box in our coop/barn and had it elevated on tires so it was not on the floor and not
thinking that they would crouch under there they did and found 4 dozen eggs, old and dirty. I cleaned
them off but I don't think they are good to eat now. (samonella?) and we can't candle them...
We just found that one of our little pullets was brooding and we found 12 eggs hidden
in the coop. We are going to candle them and put the ones that are fertile back under
her cause we want her to have chicks. We have one cockerel. We are going to separate
her from the rest of the flock.
