    i ordered 18 chickens from my pet chicken. They are mixed flock and they arrived in March. They are now almost 14 weeks old. I have 4 BCMs. (Although two are missing the copper). I found one of the Orpingtons a couple weeks ago ripped to shreds and limping. I observed everyone and saw a BCM...

    Help please, large skin wound.

    So I went in the coop tonight and observed. I saw one of my BCM ( of course one of my faves with those big brown eyes) pecking at a few others in the same spots, so I checked and one of my salmon faverolles was developing a bloody patch! I have isolated the meany but what is causing this? Why is...

    Antibiotics?

    So I gave her a bath in baby soap, soaked her feet in betadine mixed with water (wasn't sure of a ratio or how long) for about 5 minutes. I blow dried her and she purred and closed her eyes, it was so sweet. Then I sprayed her wound with vetericyn, applied triple antibiotic ointment and wrapped...

    Antibiotics?

    Do they make the pennicillin g procain in different units per ml? I just want to make sure I don't overdose her or anything.

    Antibiotics?

    Thank you for the advice. The only store around me that sells antibiotics is tractor supply, and they don't seem to have either of those medicines ;( where whould I find beta dine or the other? I did buy Epsom salts and neosporen today. I had already been using vetericyn.

    Antibiotics?

    Over a week ago I did the surgery, and all seemed fine, but when changing the bandages this last time it was swollen badly, and once I took off the bandage the scab came off and it was so swollen and just like raw meat on her toe and I tried to squeeze and there was just SO MUCH BLOOD. I had to...

    Antibiotics?

    what type of antibiotics do I need for a bad bumble foot? My husband says I can get the same medicines at tractor supply that a vet has, is that true? The only vet in my area wants $73 just to walk through the door :(

    Wry neck- poly vi sol dosage?

    thanks to the helpful people here on BYC I have been able to diagnose my 10 week old salmon faverolle with wry neck. I just picked up some poly vi sol and wondered how much I give her and how often? Thank you! I don't want to overdose the poor thing.
