    Corid (amprolium) Dosage for chickens?

    Does the 7-14 day prevention dose start immediately after the 5 day treatment dose, or is there supposed to be a break between them?

    Is Colloidial Silver safe for Chickens?

    My chicken gasps for air every few seconds, even while trying to sleep. She has mucus blocking her air pipe and it comes out her mouth. She's had this condition for years. I tried denegard and a dewormer but they haven't helped, do you know how much CS to use for her?

    Chicken foaming of the mouth

    Mines foams from her mouth too, but I think she gets enough grit because she's free roaming.

    What kind of breed is this hen?

    I like that too. Her wattle is even smaller than my EE's. She's a pretty good layer I'd say. I'm in California.

    What kind of breed is this hen?

    That's what the pet shop employee told me but thank goodness I wasn't deterred by that. I think the hens look better than the roosters too, but you have to get them young in order for them to bond with you, and since they can't be sexed as chicks you have a 50% chance it can be male. I'm happy...

    What kind of breed is this hen?

    I have one, but I forgot the breed she is. Saipan Jungle Fowl? She is the tamest hen I ever had out of keeping 40+ chickens. She's not scared of me and rushes my pant leg every time she sees me.

    Denagard Dosage

    Hello, do you know if I should give them the treatment dose or the preventative dose once a month for a year after the initial treatment dose? When I give them the monthly 3-5 day treatment cycle, do I start the next treatment cycle 30 days after the last day of the previous treatment cycle, or...

    Denagard Dosage

    I've decided to medicate the whole flock because the sick hen wasn't eating the mix I made her. I also saw that some of the hens were sneezing so I thought it can be helpful for them too. Would 2 ml of denegard per liter of water be enough?

    Denagard Dosage

    That's a big room for error so hopefully she won't overdose by accident. The instructions say to continue treatment once a month for a year, do you know if for those months I would need to administer the treatment dose or the preventative dose? If I was able to get oxytetracyclin should I give...
