    Three chickens need help

    Thank you! I appreciate you thinking of me. Hopefully someone from down here will see my post. It is probably a long shot, anyway, but I thought what better place then Backyard Chickens who would understand these are pets and not livestock. Marlene

    Three chickens need help

    Hi, I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum, if not, please excuse me and tell me where to go. I am in a bad domestic situation and must relocate to a shelter. I refuse to leave unless I can find a home for my three pet house chickens, one of whom has special needs. I am really...

    ALERT : Silkie Theft

    You know, I get so caught in dealing with animal predators, I forget about the HUMAN ones! Shame on them, because you know, it has to be another chicken person, who else would want a chicken?? It's not something on thieves "top 10 list" to steal. This just makes my blood boil. Definitely get...

    Strange behavior just odd or ill?

    How old is he? If he is under a year old, it could be the beginning of Marek's, but I do hope he is flirting instead. Marlene

    Sick hen with yellow face?Help please.

    Hi, I would call Peter Brown at First State Vet, I am clueless. If it is the liver, you would need something to help detox it. Rescue Remedy maybe? I would also separate her from the flock in case it is contagious, give her some treats like hard boiled egg and yogurt. Marlene

    Medication question....

    When I have a chicken sick in the flock, I immediately remove them and put them in a carrier or "sick cage" away from the others, to help prevent spread of disease but also so I can monitor them better (i.e., are they eating, drinking, etc.) Then I treat the flock with ACV. Oh, and I would...

    Close call...

    Hi, CRD is a really bad disease to have, I think it is reportable in most states? In which case the state comes in and destroys the chickens. There are soooo many chicken diseases/viruses/bacteria out there that produce the same symptoms, I would bet it is probably something else other then...

    Bantam Hen Can't stand up PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, Given her age, she may also have Marek's disease, which could have been brought on by trauma. Sometimes they outgrow it, but most of the time they progressively get worse. I would a multi-B vit and vit E to the regimen you have her own, just in case it is Marek's (this helps with...

    20-week old pullet sneezing/gaping

    Wow, you have been through the mill. I am no vet, but in my experience, you have to be very careful tube feeding because they can aspirate the food very easily and die right there in your arms. I think you are better off syringe feeding. Also, 60 cc is an AWLFUL lot to get into a crop at one...

    20-week old pullet sneezing/gaping

    Oh, one other thing-- There is a really good article on Oxine at www.shagbarkbantams.com. That is how I learned about Oxine and the Preval Sprayer. She has other good health articles and writes for the Poultry Press. Marlene

    20-week old pullet sneezing/gaping

    Hi, I am new but I just wanted to jump in real quick. Do a Goggle search on "buy Oxine". I was going to buy from Cutler's but they want $15 just to ship it--heck, that is 1/2 gallon worth of Oxine for that price. Also, the best way to administer it for respiratory illness is via droplets. I...
