Hi there- I have a seven year old Americana that is quite healthy but her eyes are forming what looks like cataracts. It started in one eye and now is in both. She can still eat and drink and pluck grass but i can tell she does not see too well any more because she bumps into things. Is...

Thanks Dawg53!

OK - Got in the Valbazen. I did the Wazine last wed (12/3/14). How long do I wait to do the Valbazen? And do I repeat the Valbazen again after 10 days? Thanks! Andre

Just ordered some Valbazen. Thanks everyone! Andre

is there a preference for either Valbazen or Safeguard? I will call around tomorrow to see if i can get it locally. If not I will get it online. Thanks! Andre

Well I'm happy to report that 3 days after treating with the Wazine my little girl is totally back to normal. I will follow up in a month. I also checked them all for lice and mites and found nothing. Thanks everyone for the advise! Andre

Thanks for the replies! I gave a dose of Wazine today to all of them. Her breathing seems fine. She is very active, although today after some time of activity she was sleeping standing up. But after that, very active again. Just her legs give out. It is better, but not gone. I have not seen...

Doesn't anybody have any experience with "peepers" they want to share?

I have 4 auricanas 2 black sexlinks and 2 NH reds. They are all roughly 5 1/2 months old and some started laying this week. They have all gotten along fairly well until now. One of the reds who has been "queen chicken" is getting rough with the auricanas. Starting to peck more aggressively...

UPDATE: We took her to the vet this morning and found out that it was only the outside layer of the beak that had been broken. Then vet took a dremel to it and finished taking off the outside layer. He says she will be fine. My problem now is that i have 3 chickens that are pecking at her...

i have a five month old hen that broke her beak. It is not fully off. But about 1/2 to 3/4. The vet is not open now. No bleeding. Any suggestions? Will a beak grow? I know it does on my cockatoo. I gave her some water in a deep dish and made a gruel out of her layer and she is able to eat...
