I've never had a case of bumblefoot. I have done some research here and found the thread that has the step-by-step pictures of how to treat. My remaining question is should I go a step further and give my girl penicillin? I have some on hand to inject if needed. Other than that, we're...

I have two chickens - one black australorp and one white leghorn - that were sick about 6 weeks and 4 weeks respectively. They had some sort of ailment - not sure what but it was definitely contagious and killed a third girl in the week between the others being scik. The two surviving girls...

I need some educated "education"! In three weeks I've had three sick girls (out of 8). The first one, I suspected had EYP. On day two, I had done my research and have a vet friend who was willing to give her a penicillin injection as well as painkiller, and send me home with two more days...

Does anyone have a link to a good list of antibiotics and their uses?

History: two weeks ago, I thought Gertie (8 month old Black Australorp) had EYP. She was very lethargic, obviously not feeling well, yellow cooked-yolk looking strands in clear liquid for poop. Vet gave her penicillin (3/4 cc for 3 days) and she perked right up although I'm not sure she's...

I have Valbazen and know that's a broad-spectrum wormer with a 14 day withdrawal. I also have Eprinex and I'd like to try it first but before want to be sure what all it covers! Thanks!

Gertie, a 7 month old Black Australorp, was a bit "doe-eyed" yesterday and was laying in the cool grass while all the other girls were eating bugs and grass. I checked her out and decided to just keep an eye on her. Today, I found her away from the others in the shade (it's been very hot here -...

I have my first broody - Bonnie. I've read a lot of the prior posts on how to break her - and I just want to know if overall I'm doing the right thing. If not, please let me know!. Two days ago, I got a wire dog kennel (Large) out and set it up on 2x4s. I put a piece of hardware fabric on the...

I could swear I saw someone say they use their injectable Ivermectin on their dogs as well as their chickens - but I can't find it anywhere! They said they gave it to the dogs ORALLY... do I remember this correctly or did I dream it?? If so, is the dosage the same orally as injected??

I'm so excited! My 16-week-old White Leghorns have started laying! I have 3 of those, and 5 Black Australorps (same ages). So far, I've been able to identify 3 in 3 days from one of the girls, and 1 today from another. The eggs are pretty tiny though! Is that just a characteristic of the...

Just received different colored plastic leg bands to put on my chickens so I can tell them apart for worming, etc., purposes. (I have 5 black and 3 white chickens - 10 weeks old). I got the appropriate size for their breeds. My son and I put them on immediately and the girls are all ok with...

I'm new at this... my chickens (5 black australorps and 3 white leghorns) are now 7 weeks old and we've moved them into a chicken tractor we just built so they have more room to run around . I've set up large water bottles (the kind with the nozzle and metal ball) and a hanging feeder in the...
