    Sandy is she out of the woods?? Update

    Hello jtfever, a year later how is sandy doing? I have 2 chickens that are showing signs of egg coelomitis. I took them to 2 vets both very highly regarding in avian exotics.

    Hiding liquid wormer

    I am dosing my chickens with Valbazen. I tried doing the little pieces of bread soaking up the liquid but some chickens ate it no problem and some wouldn't touch it. I'm not comfortable enough to put the syringe down their throat. Does any one have any ideas of different foods to hide this...

    Valbazen Dosage?

    Anybody know if a different way to give the chickens the Valbazen? I am scared to shove the syringe down there throat fearful of going down the wrong tube. I've read of people soaking a dose in a small piece of bread. Some of my chickens readily eat the pieces and others do not care for it...

    Worms in feces, graphic and horrible picture

    Did you ever official figure out what those were? I noticed the other day that my chicken had this same poop with the orangish things in it. Is the the liver flukes? If so how do you get rid of them? How did the chicken get them? I'm refurring to post #51.

    How much do you sell your eggs for?

    I am from Colorado and I sell my eggs for $4 a dozen and I sell them faster than I can supply them to people. I always get a lot of compliments about the color, freshness and the taste. I have one customer that her daughter has been having allergic reactions to the store bought chicken eggs...

    Chickens eating paint

    I have a 5 month old black Australop that is OBSESSED with eating paint. I let them out to free range and she makes a B line to the paint that we recently scrapped off when we repainted our house. Is she missing something in her diet that would make her want to eat the paint? I can't keep her...

    hen not acting right

    Hard to say. It depends on her age, food quality, calcium supplements and temperate.

    hen not acting right

    I've heard of the Vaseline helping but with my hen it stressed her out really bad so I wasn't able to do it. I've also heard of sticking your vas lined finger up her vent to verify if a egg is in there. Sometimes eggs break inside of hens as well. And discharge coming from her vent?

    hen not acting right

    Is she egg bound? There are ways you can help her pass an egg. I had a hen with this issue and I brought inside and ran a warm bath that was deep enough to cover her belly and they say it relaxes the muscle. My hen did lay her egg and she even liked the bath. She had a rubber egg so it was hard...

    Is my chicken sick?

    Not sure about plants either. Maybe there's some thing you can soak their belly in to get the sap off if that's it.

    Is my chicken sick?

    The picture is hard to see but could it maybe be tree sap? I have a chicken that gets it on her and I thought they were scabs too. Is she acting normal? Eating / drinking?
