I have had these Buffs since they were about a week old, born at Easter. They were hatched from a friend's eggs at her house. They have been healthy and thriving... until recently. I have a mixed flock that free ranges. I lost a girl Buff and thought it was worms. So I dewormed them with...

I only have one incubator. I have two hens who are broody right now and are proven moms. I have two batches of shipped eggs in my incubator. The oldest batch has four viable eggs going into lockdown on Wednesday. I paid a lot for these eggs and out of 24 only four made it so I really want them...

Well, whatever my New Hampshire had is different and seems to have run its course. I wonder if she ate something? She looks awesome today and it eating and drinking. Plus her poop is going back to normal.

Btw I have 40 birds and took the time to treat them. It is my responsibility to keep them healthy.

I treat lice on my birds with coconut oil. It works. I buy it in huge tubs anyway for the family so i melted it down and sprayed their vents and under the wings. I also rubbed it on any eggs I saw. I shared this with a friend and she treated cattle lice on her goats with coconut oil as well.

Ugh. This is so confusing. Both birds have different symptoms. My white rock seems fine, except for the eye. She has been eating, drinking and pooping normally. My New Hampshire has diarrhea, a closed eye but no swelling and is sleeping a lot with her head tucked onto her back. Both are...

Ok I squeezed that yuck out of her eye this morning! I watched the video about 20 times last night LOL. I think she is going to lose her eye (it looks like she has cataracts on it) but hopefully she will continue to respond to treatment. I dropped VetRX into her eye as well as dozed her water...

BTW, thank you for your help.

I am still seeing it. I am afraid to do what the guy in the video did! Her eye isn't as swollen and I have removed some big pieces. I am still going to work at it. I am cleaning it several times a day and am now doing what you did, giving the RX orally, in the eye and in the water. My other...

I dealt with Cocci last summer and it was brutal. I did notice that when you see a bloody poop it is usually too late. The first signs are chicks looking sleepy, ruffled, standing alone and huddled in a corner. Then you see the bloody poop and it is too late, they will start to die. I treated...

So I just rub warm RX under their top beak right? SHould I keep flushing her eye? The other chicken is ruffled and sleepy and one eye is closed but it isn't swollen or anything yet.

So I recently was hospitalized for a bad kidney infection. My kids and husband did the bare minimum of flock care and didn't notice something was wrong with one of my white rocks. When I finally was well enough to take over their care, I noticed her eye was huge and swollen shut. She was also a...

I don't think she needs antibiotics. Turns out she had wry neck and after two doses of vitamin e and pol-y-sol (no iron) she is fine.

Thanks! Two doses of vitamins yesterday and when I woke up her head was up and she was able to feed herself! I will continue vitamins for another week or two but she made a full recovery. So thankful! Not sure I could have handled another death.

It is NOT cocci! When I went to bed last night her neck seemed really heavy, like she couldn't hold it up. When I woke up this morning her neck is twisted and she cannot stand or eat and she cried in pain when I twist it back. So wry neck right? I will take a pic to add it just to be sure.

I have been dipping her beak in water and will try to get some more into her tonight. She looks bad though. Not drinking or eating and her head is falling over. I had dealt with cocci in June with some chicks that were much younger and their heads didn't fall over like hers is right now. Maybe...

I have three 2 month old chicks in a brooder in the garage. They are still under a light and just went off medicated feed a few weeks ago. I have not noticed any blood in the stools. When I went to clean out their brooder today I noticed the pullet looking ruffled and her head was hanging...

Get a needle and syringe, pop it into the abdomen and drain. Simple as that. She won't lay again and you will have to put her down eventually, but she will be more comfortable with it drained.

You can drain it but she probably won't lay another egg. I had a leghorn with ascites and I drained her a few times but she never laid another egg (just internally, she had a huge mass in her abdomen) and it kept coming back so I put her down. She was miserable. Just get a thin long needle...
