    AMPUTATION!!! need advice please !!

    His original wound was healing up nicely, and i took that as i could start dressing him less, but surely was not the case.

    Chicken eye stuck shut

    No i haven't heard of it but it'll give it a shot for sure ! How exactly do you apply it ? I've tried D.E dust baths and garlic in water but to no avail, it would be such a relief to get rid of those pesky things.

    Chicken eye stuck shut

    hello I have a hen whose eye seems gunked shut. Came out of nowhere but i'm concerned it might be a respiratory thing as my rooster's nose keeps getting clogged up with black stuff, could this be related ??? I noticed a couple days ago her eye looked slightly irritated, almost a bit swollen, but...
