    Tricide Neo Bumblefoot/Distilled water

    Is it necessary to have distilled water to use Tricide Neo? I live in a small town and having trouble finding it right now… could change next week (life of living in a rural town), but would love to start treatment sooner than later.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We harvested some cucumbers, tomatoes, and jalapeños for our Japanese cucumber salad tonight that will go with salmon sashimi. Our eggplant should be ready soon, so I can't wait to make eggplant parm! We've had so much rain (live in Vermont), our garden is so saturated and some of our harvest...

    When to know to discontinue treatment?

    I think most of us have been there. We have a chicken that's sick and you've tried everything, so how do you know when to stop treatment and just leave them be? I have a Welsummer hen that's close to 5 years old who started mouth breathing and sneezing about a month ago, plus not eating or...

    Bumblefoot on my duck

    I'm dealing with bumblefoot right now, too. So sorry your sweet duck has it. After soaking for at least 10 minutes in warm epsom water, use some sterilized tweezers to remove the black scab. Then squeeze around the area to see if you can push the "kernel" out. At the very least, you should get...

    Bumblefoot... quick question. Please help! Thank you!

    I know bumblefoot is brought up a lot here, but I have a very quick question. I've dealt with it before and I've been successful. However, I have a chicken who has the round, black scab on the bottom of the foot. After a long soak, we've removed the scab and tried to expel the kernel, but no...

    Broody Cochin Frizzle… I’ve tried everything .Please help!

    I’m not in a position to hatch right now. One day, I hope to let her be a mama, but this summer, isn’t going to work with things going on my life. I love her so much and would hate to re-home her.

    Broody Cochin Frizzle… I’ve tried everything .Please help!

    Please help!! I have a broody Bantam Cochin Frizzle I can’t break. I don’t want to hatch eggs. I’ve tried a kennel with no bedding, cold water bottles on her belly, making her get off the nest for hours at a time, collecting eggs early… and on and on. I love her and it would break my heart to...

    Wry Neck and Swollen Earlobe

    I've been treating a chicken for wry neck. She seemed to be getting better, then went backwards, hardly being able to hold her neck up at all. Today, I noticed her left earlobe is swollen (beginning stages... no debris, discharge, or sores). She's also been mouth breathing, so I have to assume...

    Humidifier for congested, sneezing chicken?

    I have a chicken that's sneezing quite a bit, plus congested. She had pneumonia this past winter, and I know once they've had respiratory issues, they're forever susceptible. She's separated from rest of the flock and in our basement chicken hospital. I'm administering Tylan, plus putting VetRx...

    Question about vitamins/electrolytes while on Tylan

    My hen is on Tylan powder that I mix with a little water and give to her by dropper. Can I put Rooster Booster in her regular water while on Tylan?
