    My banty hen had fowl pox when her eggs hatched. Three weeks later, two of the three chicks died with bumps on their beaks. The third is still alive but has bumps also. Mamma is fine. New to me.

    sick hen with horribly swollen eye and gray mass growing...what to do?

    Well, now she's 100%a except for a hard mass under one eye. How do i get rid of it? ???? Polymycin B and steroids really helped. But this mass has me stumped.

    Does rooster influence layer egg size ANSWERED

    Now, I just put my little bantam rooster in with my large hens about 3 weeks ago. One of the hens laid a very tiny egg today. She has never before laid a tiny egg. Are you sure rooster size doesn't affect egg size?

    I have been treating my hen with swollen eyes for about 10a weeks. Tylan50 did not work. Neomycin ans polymyxin B did not work. Neither did Baytril. Out of despiration i started an eyedrop with Dexamethasone. Shes the much, much better now.

    My hen has had nasty swollen eyes for 3 weeks. I've tried Tylan, Baytril. I've put neosporin in on her eyes. I've cleaned them, fed her raw eggs by hand. I'm out of ideas.

    my chicken has swollen eye with bubbling liquid

    Thank you all very much for this information. One of my hens has these symptoms. I do beleive they were preceded by some kind of injury, since she also has infection around her neck. I will get Tylan tomorrow. Have been using Baytril and Amoxi since i alteady had it, and Terrmycin salve on eyes...

    This is Roadrunner, my little Bantam 'stray' chicken. He enjoys hanging out in the mancave, watching NASCAR and eating bologna sandwiches. Roadrunner needs a girlfriend. The Rhode Island Red hens will not have a thing to do with him. Is there a singles service for handsome roosters?

    Sour Crop PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    Well, I really messed up last year when I tried to empty the crop. I think I did not hold the hen right and drowned her. So be careful. Dorie

    BUMBLE FOOT & CEPHALEXIN?

    I have a hen with some kind of sinus infection. I have plenty of Cephlexine, so that is what I'm going to use. Does anyone think I am making a terrible mistake? Dorie

    An open letter to my hens

    Did anyone catch the show on NPR 'This American Life' on Saturday? It was all about chickens. One funny story was a man who died and went to heaven, only to find out that God was a 30' tall chicken. Now, if that were indeed true.....wouldn't ya hate to have died from choking on a chicken bone???
