    Denegard?!

    Thanks. took 4 days and she made a huge turn around. But she hasn’t laid eggs in about 2+ months. i had brought home 2 (unknowingly ) sick chicks which both passed...maybe cocci, and everyone got round worms, and was treated with Safeguard. My first experience with all that....but since then...

    Denegard?!

    Denegard?!

    I know this is an old thread....but you sound like me. Spoiled chickens. small flock. Occasionally Sneezing...on and off......no vets. Actually we have a vet about an hour away, and it’s $200 to walk in the door.... Long story short,..last chicken vet bill was $900 ++ (2 vets) and she still...

    Weepy closed eye.

    I think so too. She isn’t a meat bird and won’t be eaten, and she hasn’t laid eggs for months,...so I gave her oral Baytril. Small dose because I have to look up the correct dose again. She weighs 7 pounds. i Think it’s too late to separate her.

    Ps. I leave oyster shell and grit out 24/7. I also add calcium and vitamins D to their water once a week. and grind up old shells and add to food. the two soft layers also got calcium gluconate syringed for a few days. It’s heart breaking. I’m really worried about them. 😪
