    My hen is s recovering from sour crop but not sure what markers to look for to return her to the flock

    Hi, all! My sweet little Americauna, Baby Girl, came down with sour crop a few days ago. I'm giving her Nystatin, which seems to have taken care of the issue. She still has 2 days of treatment to go, but she still isn't eating very much. I give her probiotic plain yogurt mixed with scrambled...

    2 Chickens Piling on Top of Each Other in Same Laying Box

    Sick chicken... help please.

    Goat abscess not CLA but I have a question

    Thank you for the tip! We ended up taking her back to the vet. She had a pocket that had not been lanced so they opened it up and drained it. Now we are being super careful about not letting it close back up immediately.

    Goat abscess not CLA but I have a question

    Hi, all. I took my goat to the vet a few days ago and had an abscess lanced and drained. I've followed instructions on care, including warm compresses morning and night. The darn thing scabbed over despite our efforts not to let it and it's filling back up again. Not sure what to do and I'm...
