    Bumblefoot

    Bumblefoot--my RIR rooster. Black scabs are huge--the size of the foot pad on each foot. Been soaking in epsom salt and applying collodial silver, then vetwrap wrapping. Here's my question--after a couple of days the scabs are now an amber color, almost like hardened tree sap. After a few days...

    Wormed two days ago, still seeing live worms in poo

    dawg53--You had posted something a LONG time ago I think--which indicated to worm first with Wazine, then wait the appropriate time and follow up with Valbazen. So I am confused. Noticed a stool yesterday that had thin looking red wormy things--gapeworm or stomach lining perhaps? I just don't...

    Prolapsed hen

    Tissue has turned black--sadly...thought that was the color of the PrepH being on there so long...she has been in a dog carrier the last few days in the house, and then periodically gently attended to by me... Initially the mass was about the size of a lemon--today it is not quite the size of a...

    Prolapsed hen

    She had had her backside ripped open last year by a dog--and survived, and was laying eggs after several months. Her days were numbered...I have started to add more oyster shell more often...for the other birds. And her eggs were just getting so large... Never easy to lose one--I am a gentle...

    Prolapsed hen

    Was hoping someone would come up with another way to help this poor hen. Can't seem to get the 'crust' off the mass, even with gentle soapy washing...will make one more attempt today to do what I can. How long could she actually last with the prolapse exposed like that?

    Prolapsed hen

    Prolapsed vent for 3 days--first 2 days too large to push in--large and bloody looking...like a red bulb... been putting PrepH on it and it is slowly shrinking--however, there is crusty poop on the area and I have soaked in warm soapy water but just can't get the poop off of it. Very hard and if...

    Help!! I'm overloaded with eggs!!

    Just a thought--nice once in a while to donate some to the shelters/soup kitchens--I know they love making egg breakfasts especially on weekends for these folks.
