    18mo old chicken has swollen cheek, makes honking sounds (pic/video included)

    I gave Tylan for 5 days, the 1st day being 1cc and the remaining 4 days I gave 2 shots of 1/2cc each day in alternating spots. The bird has been separate in a garage with its own food and water. The swelling on the cheek is not hot to the touch and seems to have grown a little in size. There is...

    My hen continues to make the same sounds and has a swollen cheek. However she continues to act normally. Is there anything else you would recommend?

    I injected 1cc. I think the chicken was just in shock from what happened because after a few hours she was more responsive and this morning she was normal. After her second shot she was fine, unlike yesterday

    I just gave the hen Tylan 50. She seems to be in shock right now, is that normal? She is lying limply on the ground and appears to be wheezing now. I gave her some water and now she is sort of crouched but still wheezing quietly.

    18mo old chicken has swollen cheek, makes honking sounds (pic/video included)

    She was normal and active but a lot more skittish than she used to be (she would always squat and let me touch her but lately she runs off and doesn't squat) No discharge whatsoever and all my other girls have been fine (given that the sick one has been making the sound for weeks now). THe...

    Quote: thank you. i ordered terramycin for the water - should i separate the chicken from the others so that she has her own medicated water? or is it ok for the other chickens to be drinking this water as well? the affected chicken has been making those sounds for weeks now but only began...

    18mo old chicken has swollen cheek, makes honking sounds (pic/video included)

    For the past few weeks, one of my chickens has been consistently making a weird sound - something like a honk/yelp for lack of a better way to describe it. I searched on byc but didn't find anything conclusive and assumed it wasn't a big deal since my chicken was behaving normally. This...

    my hen wants to be a mommy,but wont lay any eggs to set on!!!

    why don't you put fertile eggs under her at night? i'd imagine that eggs that have already been in the fridge won't work

    I have hung cabbage, ears of corn, you name it! They are insatiable and attack it immediately. They also don't care much for flock block I've either bought or made. Best solution really is to downsize to 3-4 hens, but it's hard when you've raised them from chicks..

    Major lurker here :<, but thought i'd pop in. I live in Queens, and I go to the Hicksville Agway to get all my supplies since it's a 20 min drive from where I am. I've frequently seen posts for chicks, feed, and hay on Craigslist in Brooklyn so maybe you can check that out. I have 7 I got from a...
