    Frustrating! Skin Crust/Flakes Issue (Photos Attached!)

    Yellow Crust Patches

    Has anyone ever seen this before? I’ve had chickens for a decade and have never seen this. It’s a yellow crust that this rooster has under his wattles & some patches on his legs and top of his wings. His comb had some too. I’ve bathed him & picked a lot of it off with tweezers. Then applied...

    Silkie Hen Letharic/Won’t Eat

    After research last night, I’m suspecting Cocci. I’ve started one dose of Corrid. She shows every symptom except bloody poop. Her poop actually looks normal. I’m in Arkansas. Weather has been fine. Rainy at times but lately mostly dry. She gets Nutrena feather fixer with little scratch. Some...

    Silkie Hen Letharic/Won’t Eat

    I have a 10 month old silkie hen that seems sick with little to no symptoms. She’s not broody. She doesn’t really walk around. She won’t eat or drink. If she does, it isn’t much. No other signs. The only things I’ve tried are Vit E/Selenium daily and Poultry Cell in waterer. Encouraged her...

    Gapeworm?

    Interesting. I feel those are possibilities. I feel like whatever she has is something I’m not going to be able to cure. It’s also not contagious because she’s been with her flock this entire time and it hasn’t spread.

    Gapeworm?

    The safeguard didn’t work. I decided to have my husband put her down one weekend before we left town. Came home and she was very much still alive. Whatever is wrong with her throat prevented a successful death for her so I thought maybe she’s meant to live. That was 4 months ago and she’s still...

    Wry Neck Advice

    In your opinion, how long would you give a chicken with wry neck before giving up? Im running out of hope and things to try. I haven’t noticed any improvements. I’ve been helping her for 20 days now and I don’t think it’s a vitamin deficiency anymore.

    Gapeworm?

    Normal-ish. It’s a dark red. Sometimes it looks almost purple like she isn’t getting enough air.

    Gapeworm?

    Thank you for the response. The answer is no to all those questions. She does cough or sneeze when she’s eating, like it’s difficult to swallow her food. But there’s no other symptoms of respiratory illness. No discharge or anything from her nose. Her crop feels pretty empty. I feel All Flock...

    Gapeworm?

    Hi Everyone! Could someone give me some advice on this illness? My Brahma hen (approximately 2yo) has been gaping, out stretching her neck, lethargic, not eating much, clearing throat/coughing for MONTHS now. I can only suspect Gapeworm but from research it seems it’s kinda rare. I really...
