Really hope someone can help and shed some light. My hen is nearing 2 yr old. She is usually healthy but today is fluffed, slow and not really eating, but drinking. I found a clutch of about 4 or 5 peppermint sized eggs this morning where she sleeps. I know it is from her as I only have 2 hens...

Evening all. (Well irt is in the UK, Lol) I have just aquired a hen who is about 8 months old. I already have four hens, in which I have a very aggressive hen (Ivy aka ASBO) who is about 16 months. My other hens are 3 years and Holly who is 18/20 months. Holly has a real bad time still after...

One of my girls went a bit funny when an egg broke inside her. My Hubby picked her up and she struggled, put her down then she just stood there like she was on another planet about 5 mins later the runny bit of the egg came out then the soft shell. Maybe something to think about?

I have a hen, Holly, who has a swollen abdomen/below vent. She is pooping, but very little and it is sticking to below the vent. When she poops her vent is still moving for a while. There is a smell about her too, not a chicken smell. She is still eating and drinking, albeit probably not as...

My pleasure. Just hope it helps others. Don't know what us chicken parents would do without these sites:D

Oh and I forgot to ask, what is 'Drench'?

Hi I am in the Uk and I have a chicken, Holly, with similar symptoms. My four were wormed about three weeks ago. She is the bottom of the pecking order. She is eating, but justs sort of sits a bit ruffled and falls asleep then shakes her head every few seconds. She is about 18months old. I had...

Miss Lydia; thankyou. I hope so too. I think the Baytril may be working, or maybe I feel more relaxed thinking its been taken out of my hands in a sense as the anti biotics are attempting to fight this now. Ken really does not like taking the Baytril, as she has 1.5ml syringed twice a day. We...

Ken has an existing problem with what we thought was EYP but now think its a water balloon. We did try to drain her the other day but got nothing. Her breathing has been really bad today when she sits down. Thus being because the fluid build up pushes up on her lungs. After trying again we...

Well, we actually managed to drain Ken today and much to all our relief (especially Ken's) she seems so much better. I've taken some photos of before draining, during draining and after to give you some idea of what we are dealing with. There is also a picture of what we drained off! Before...

Oh yes, I'm in Devon in the UK

Thanks He said the swelling on the foot will be scar tissue building up. He also said Tricide-Neo treatment and Betadine/sugar treatment have the same effects. Hes not a great believer in packing wounds with anything as I said some people have packed with Neosporin.

What is Vetrycin? We took Ken to the vets yesterday, and were very fortunate to see a vet who has worked with agriculture before. He praised me on my bandaing techniques and my bravery for performing the surgery. He was happy with what he saw and prescribes 3 weeks of antibiotics (Baytril), and...

Have changed her dressing again today and soaked in Epsom salts. Cleaned with TCP and germolene and tea tree oil. The foot feels hot and the swelling doesnt seem to have gone down. Hubby also says he doesnt think she is moving about as much, although she is still eating and drinking. Here are...

My girl has had a bad case of Bumblefoot, but being in the Uk, I've found it very difficult to get hold of most of the items mentioned. I had been bathing it in Epsom salts and finally took a blade to the scab which I have to say wasnt very big, but the lump was growing steadily. I got myself a...

Well I did it and Im sorry there wasnt any batteries in the camera to take pics. I got myself a craft scalpel and cut into the top of her foot. You could almost see the cheesy stuff trying to push its way out. After the first small cut, there was blood which worried me, but hubby held her...

Quote: looking at the searches online- i don't see it being available in the UK, i am wondering if you could get someone in the US to send it to you? i am using it for my girls for the first time, and it is slowly clearing up- pm me if you want and i can try to get the stuff and ship it to...

Hi All. Im in the Uk and cannot get hold of TRICIDE-NEO. Can anyone tell me if it is the same as POTTASSIUM PERMANGANATE? My chicken has bumblefoot in both feet. One foot has two scabs, one with a swelling. This one i had soaked and taken off the scab and 'scraped inside as no plug came out...
