Thanks heaps, I agree. She had her second dose this morning.
Can/should I clean out the yellow stuff inside her beak or will that be hard/painful/unremovable?
Am also considering adding colloidal silver to the water canisters/bowls for the other hens as an immune booster, have no idea about...
Thank you, I have called pet food stores, they have none. The vet will only prescribe after seeing the hen; their response in the past was: we know nothing about chickens, we either put to sleep or prescribe antibiotics. I have some Amoxicilline left in the fridge and have just given her a 1/4...
Hello again, Smokey was quite energetic this morning and we attempted to took pics. She has yellow/white inside her beak, no black lesions as far as I can see. Apology for the bad pictures. Is this an access? It surprises me as the outside grew later. However, all advice welcome. Can I do...
Okay, that will be a good enough reason for me to go look inside her beak tomorrow when sun is up: do I look for necrotic lesions? If she has got that I treat all from here on?
Just looked it up: no native birds in our coop and none of the others have it. If you think canker also causes a growth on the outside and that death smell I would be happy to purchase treatment from the vet and just put it into the water. It won't hurt the other hens I suppose or would it...
Could you please let me know what it could be if it would look like that and if there then is an appropriate action? Or would it just be for diagnoses?
Hi all,
Our nearly 5yo Australorp Smokey started to slow down a month or two ago. She wouldn't jump on the roost anymore but prefer to sleep on the ground under the other hens. To keep her clean I provided a tub with roofing for her under. Then I noticed she couldn't eat anymore a few weeks ago...
Hi, my name is Astrid and yes I too am into chickens :)
We adopted our first two Hylines when we got our home with a garden, now 8 years ago, and it all happened since then haha.
Currently we have 12, a motley crew of including Belgium D'Uccle and X, Silkies, Australorps, Hylines, a Wyandotte...
