    Wet Pocks

    Will the lesions fall off or is this permanent? I have never seen this before and I am not sure what to do. I have given them Terramycin and I put some ointment on their lesions. How long does this last? Three of my chicks have this disease. I think this is dry pox and not wet pox. They...

    Thanks. So basically there is no cure for wet or dry pox. I have Terramycin. Do you think if I inject them it might help?

    Austrolop

    My chickens are fed in the morning and then they roam on the farm the whole day. The austrolop seems weak in his legs as they shake when he stands still. If he runs he cannot stop and falls down. It is not mites as I clean the coop daily and they do not have scabs on the legs.

    Austrolop

    He has been like this for a week. If he bends forward to eat he falls over this is why he lies down to eat. If he has ear infection what must I give him. I actually thought he was over weight but I only give them food in the morning.

    Austrolop

    My Austrolop is very unbalanced. When he runs he tends to fall down to the one side.

    Scab on Feet

    I have two hens with this scab on their feet. What is it? Their coop is being cleaned every 2nd day. I open the coop very early in the morning and they only sleep there. They are more than 2 years old.

    No Eggs!

    My hens are not laying any eggs. I let them out early in the morning but still only get 3 eggs. I have 14 hens in total. When I leave them in the coop I still only get 3 eggs. Four of them are are more than 2 years old. This might be a stupid question but can the roosters put strain on them?
