DogzRule ~ Awww, your poor roo. One of my 40+ pound pups did something similar trying to climb their gate one day. He is fine now after tending him for a couple of weeks. I hope our hen heals up completely without any arthritis but if she's like us humans, she'll be achy at times.*sigh* Thanks...

She is doing much better today. No slipped tendon. I don't think her leg is broken just strained. She laid an egg yesterday, is still eating & thirsting & much content. This forum is so helpful. Thank you all!

Thank you Moonwalker. She is extremely strong when putting the sling on with her hurt leg. It really surprised me. She is by herself in the Chicken Tracter, eating, drinking to her heart's content.

DHunicorn ~ Again, thank you. I've just cut a sling for her & going out to tie it on her. So far so good.

A sling is a great idea & very doable! Thanks!!

Ok, she's walking slowly but properly now after soaking her leg in epsom salt water & using the vinegar for a fever reducer. Witch Hazel is a great idea for reducing swelling. It also has the cooling effect after her leg would be removed from the water. Thank you both.

I'm so sorry he died. Thank you for sharing how your Vet wrapped his leg. She trembles when we tend her so I get a bit worried she'll do this also. If we are just holding her, she's calm & relaxed.

I think this is what is wrong with my year old hen. She's eating, drinking, active but she falls all the time. I have no idea what to do. Did your Vet wrap her leg as it would be if she were standing or laying? Any meds for swelling? My hen has been hurt for nearly 24 hours now so I'm desperate...

Our Bar Rock hen has what we believe to be a broken leg. Everything else looks fine but she can't bear weight on it & today it is beginning to swell. I don't have any aspirin whatsoever. We have soaked it in warm water & *tried* to cast the upper portion of her leg above the joint (knee). First...

I'm using Amprolium/Corid for our hens. I guess the meds make a difference. ??? Thanks Luv my Chickens!

Ok, I just found out the general rule for refraining from eating hen's eggs. General rule is: Don't eat eggs until (at least) 7 days after you have stopped all meds. Tis better to disgard safely than omit treating the illness & losing all the flock.

I did find Corrid here & gave it to her. It's my cat's medicine. You can't eat the eggs while they are being treated for Cocci can you?

So true!

Hi TJeannie! Welcome! I didn't realize you had an Orshelen's down there.LOL That is where I bought our chicks last year. They really don't know much about chickens at the store up here. So glad you rescued the chickens. Someone did that up here, last year, before I was fully set up to take...

I'm treating one of my hens now for Cocci. I didn't know what to do at first & needed treatment fast so I used Colloidal Silver syringed. Just a touch then I added powdered Gatorade to her water & a dab more of CS plus vinegar & home made garlic oil. She perked up quite a bit. She's hung in...

New to hens here. They have Cocci & are nearly a year old. One died in her sleep last night. One is inside but doing better after administering herbs & Colloidal Silver, garlic, & Gatorade, raw honey with water. I just discovered that I have Ambrolium here. Will this help them now that have...

Thank you Carrie.

Carrie ~ That's a great buy! What is Race Brother's? A Feed store?

Hi Mnook! Carrie ~ He will settle down around a year old but watch your kitchen counters & windows! When they want out, they'll get out.LOL I found out the hard way about that after finding three screens out of my new windows. It was the fourth of July & Laddie discovered how to open our front...

Carrie ~ Love your quote! I saw your pup! So cute. We have a Great Pyr & Great Pyr German Shepherd mix with their 5 puppies. Such great dogs! Loyal, fearless, & gentle. Do you have a dirt floor in your coop? If so, how do you clean it? Ours is dirt so I'm needing a lil' info.
