    Eye/respiratory infection treatment?

    I ended up going back into town for Tylan 50 and gave her 1/4cc injection and also slathered her entire eye with bacitracin, which she didn't seem to mind at all. This morning she looks so much better! I was shocked at the improvement! Her swelling is down a bit, her eye is more open and there...

    Eye/respiratory infection treatment?

    I hate to make another trip into town tonight to go to TS, but I can. What will the bottle say exactly? Is it refrigerated?

    Eye/respiratory infection treatment?

    Should I treat everyone? Should I isolate her? Should I keep her chick with her?

    Eye/respiratory infection treatment?

    I have a little silky hen who I noticed had some swelling around her eye yesterday morning. She is currently raising a 5 week old chick, so I am nervous about isolating her and leaving the chick. I didn't have anything to treat her with yesterday other than Vetricyn, so I rinsed the eye with...

    Who's the mama?

    Anyone have any ideas? I am more curious than ever now. We lost our sweet roo yesterday and his little baby is cute as a button. I am now hoping it is a boy to at least carry on some of his genes for another rooster.

    Crop Surgery Performed - More pics & How To Steps posted - Pg 10

    We also attempted crop surgery last night on our favorite rooster. He was the most beautiful, sweet, gentle soul. I was devastated when I realized he had an impacted crop. We gave olive oil and massaged regularly for 24 hours but he was deteriorating fast and was no longer passing anything other...

    Who's the mama?

    I finally got some decent pics. Here is the chick: Here is the roo; Shoot, I realized I meant to say I have an Australorp, not an Americauna hen... Oops. Anyway, here she is: Here is the hen that was last years chick that we hatched. We are certain that she is a cross between the rooster...

    Who's the mama?

    I am trying to figure out who is the mama to our 4 week old chick that two of my silkies hatched out. It is fully feathered except for its head and is pure white with one or two teeny black specks on one or two wing feathers. It is also quite large with deep yellow/orange legs. So I have a...

    What could be wrong with this hen? With pics

    We ended up putting her down this evening. She hadn't moved all day and she wasn't responding to us anymore when we would talk to her or touch her. She was gasping and had mucus coming from her beak. As she died, she pooped out what looked and smelled exactly like rotting egg yolk. It was the...

    What could be wrong with this hen? With pics

    So I have a sneaking suspicion she has egg yolk peritonitis. I was reading a blog about a hen that had it and died and her downward spiral has looked exactly like what was described, down to the weird poop that looked yellow and smelled to high heaven. It was saying that rarely antibiotics can...

    What could be wrong with this hen? With pics

    I am pretty sure she is not going to make it. She refused all food except for one or two tiny bites this morning. When I tried to look at her vent and feel her belly tonight, she almost seemed to have a seizure. She is extremely droopy and sleepy and is not even really able to hold her head up.

    What could be wrong with this hen? With pics

    So I am wondering if all of the eggs being backed up could be causing the paralysis or flopping to one side? She freaked out today when I tried to move her back onto her towel from the bathroom floor. I feel like it is so slippery, I thought she might be more comfortable on something grippy, but...

    What could be wrong with this hen? With pics

    She laid another egg late this afternoon, so about 18 hours after the last one. I am guessing things are backed up in there and starting to move now. I gave her more scrambled egg with a crushed calcium tab and loads of garlic tonight and soaked her again in a very warm bath. She inhaled the egg...

    What could be wrong with this hen? With pics

    No, definitely not normal poop. She is still alive, but her poop is massive, slimy, greenish goo. She also let out a little yellow looking liquid this afternoon too. She has the leg on the side that she was favoring completely curled up now and will not extend it even when I lift her. I am so...
