    does anyone know of a home made anti inflammatory for chooks?

    Thank you. I will give it a try. I don't suppose baking soda can hurt a chook.

    Help! Swollen wattle in rooster!!!

    I thought of that, but the swelling is so severe that i couldn't do it without causing damage to the eye. I have tried relieving the swelling with a pin but all that comes out is a drop or two of blood and it doesn't seem to make any difference. The lump is also quite hard.

    Help! Swollen wattle in rooster!!!

    Could be a bite but I would assume it would have swollen a lot quicker and he would be a little sick if it was a spider. I have done a little looking up as to wattle deseases, but the ones I have found seem to include both wattles and he only has a problem with one. I would normally not be so...

I came out this morning and saw that his wattle had swollen futher and turned black where the lump had began. It is now swollen to the point of his eye closing. He seems...

    HELP! Chick with crooked neck!

    Thank you Gumpsgirl. I hate it too. Particularly after spending so much time trying to help her. I tend to get more attached to the sick/troubled ones.

    Bad news all! The poor little chick died over night. I felt horrid, but at least I tried everything I could I suppose. Thank you all who posted for giving it a chance anyway.

    ROTTER EXPLODED UNDER BROODY!!

    Well it is now 1pm on day 22 and still no chirping or pipping going on. I will check them once more this afternoon then again tommorrow. If there is no sign of pipping I might have to crack one open and have a gander! (Hopefully they will pip overnight)

    Today is day 34 for the muscovies

    Oh, how exciting! I currently have my muscovy sitting on 12 eggs! But im only on day 13....Oh, the pain of waiting. Muscovys tend to drag it out more than other ducks. I would wait until day 38 as you said. It can't hurt any waiting an extra couple of days.
