INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[Nyla]

Stay calm! I actually just had this happen to my chickens! It's a eye infection! I used Vet RX to treat it. It went away within a couple days. I applied it by mixing with warm water and putting into a tiny spray bottle. I sprayed the eyes, beak, and feathers. Also take all bedding from coop and replace it.

OH NO! Ana's got the ick. I just don't know which ick. Ana's a 17wk old Buff Orp. Anyone have any direction for me? It's just her eye. It's very swollen and seems a little foamy. No nasal drip, crop is fine, tummy seems fine. We've got her inside and separated from the rest. I have noticed since we brought her in that her poop is VERY liquidy.

From what I've found other places, I should clean her eye gently with some plain water and probably get her some real yoghurt.

Thoughts, suggestions, input, feel goods?

Thanks Nyla, I'll head down to TSC tomorrow after work, I can't get there tonight before they close since my local store doesn't have any in stock.

Hi, my wife and I are new again to raising chickens. We had some chickens 18 years ago when our son was in 4h. Being retired now and living out in the country we thought that it was time again to raise a few and have some fresh eggs. We live in South Lake county, a stones throw from Porter county. I've been looking and reading articles and threads on BYC. So far no major issues. The girls are 3 weeks old today. Chris and Pat

All you folks with duck experience out there, can any of you provide insight into farrah3 problem with their duck on the emergency thread?

I just checked it out. Looks pretty bad. I'm going to call my vet and mention it to her.

Cleaned her up again last night, my husband and I ended up giving the VetRx to her orally. I couldn't find a spray bottle, she was joyfully eating afterward, but she's not really drinking at all. We're setting up the spare coop on the other side of the yard for her this weekend, though she is enjoying being inside with everyone this week.
