Having recently lost two birds through illness I decided to add another three hens to the three I had left. I don't have the means to keep them separated for any length of time, although I did keep them apart by using a plastic fence when I bought them home so that they could see each other...

Yes point of lay pullets, and from the same place I have got them from previously, which is a reputable dealer not too far from where I live. All birds come vaccinated and are kept in fantastic conditions.

My first experience with chickens over two years ago only involved a small coop and the current run. At first, I had three hens and then added two more a few months later. I spent most of the day with them, making sure they were okay without separating them. Initially, there was a lot of...

I am now down to three hens having recently lost two and initially decided to add another three. Now I'm in two minds.After observing my birds over the last week, they seem really content, and I'm worried about upsetting the status quo. I'm fortunate that I work from home so if I did go ahead, I...

I have been treating my girl for what I thought was a bacterial infection and only realized today after some research she has a sour crop. I can't believe I missed it. She has barely eaten much for several days and her crop is like a balloon, all squidgy, and her breath stinks. I drained her...

No worms, all the others are absolutely fine. The one that died was lethargic and had diarrhea. My initial thought of a bacterial infection led me to give antibiotics orally, but they proved ineffective after 5 days. She progressively got worse. Her breathing was terrible. She was gaping and...

I apologize for the length of this post. I own four hybrid hens and unfortunately lost one a month ago. Initially, I suspected Gapeworm as the cause of death but I am now uncertain. Although I thought I observed worms on her trachea when I examined her, and there were other indications like head...

Yes, a respiatory illness. Its done the trick, and it's the last day of treatment on Wednesday. Is it 7 days withdrawal from the last day of treatment?

My birds are on Amoxicillin 10% powder at the moment. Do I need to avoid eating the eggs and what is the period of withdrawal? I don't give my eggs to anyone else, there's only me who eats them. Also, should I avoid giving the eggs back to my chickens for a period of time?

Sadly, I lost my girl an hour ago. Not nice to watch, and I'm gutted. These girls give me so much joy. I checked when she was gone, and was left with no doubt it was Gapeworm. Horrible sight. If only I'd have known earlier. We live and learn and I suppose every time we take on an animal, we are...

I've just lost her. I'm gutted, and it was horrible to watch. But I now want to check to see if it was Gape. What is the best way to go about it, cutting the throat?

Is it safe to use that amount mixed with a little coconut oil and dispense it as a pill? There is no way she will eat any food at the moment. She is drinking water with added Nutri drench using a pipette.

Sorry, I saw it as soon as I posted my reply. I'm not sure she'll last long enough, to be honest.

I can't find any information on individual doses.

Would it be possible to mix it with coconut oil to make pills?

I'm 99.9% sure one of my girls has Gapeworm. It should be confirmed tomorrow when I receive the lab test results. Gurgling sounds, stretching her neck to get her breath, and her head shaking that to be quite honest frightened the life out of me. There are no runny eyes or nose that you would...

Thanks for the link. I have ordered some of that. This ivermectin is doing something, that's for sure. It was easier bringing up my children than looking after chickens, lol. Thanks for all your help, and I hope your kitten is still on the mend.

Ignore my diagnosis of flukes, I don't think there's much doubt now it's gapeworm. She has all the symptoms. Vigorous shaking of the head, stretching her neck open-mouthed, gasping for air, coughing, which I assume is a way of trying to get them up. I treated her with Ivermectin yesterday...

Firstly, hows your kitten? I hope she's okay. I did another fecal flotation test this morning. I'm only just getting used to using the microscope, but what I saw was virtually an exact match of a fluke from the charts I have. Like a fool, I forgot to take a picture. It also makes sense as I have...
