I'm sorry I should have clarified. I used Corid for coccidia and fenbendazole for round worms. Just I case. But her appetite continues to decline despite both treatments being last Sunday. I looked into clostridium treatments and will try that last hoorah.

I need advice!!! I have an 8-10 month old brahma chick that I hatched last fall. It's winter here and it's the time of year I usually do a general dewormer b/c we have cocci in the soil and I try to be proactive. So as I was going out to check them all out, on a warmer day than usual, I...

They have all gone to new homes!

A coworker is going through a rough divorce and all the animals are being dispersed. I offered to help her place the chickens as I already have too many! flock of 14 hens. They can go as one or be split. They are all under a year old, and started laying within the last month or so. There are...

Thank you. I'm going to bring him by the vet tomorrow and see what we can do! He's out and about! I forgot to close his cage and he was exploring the house when I got home!

Is this green bruising normal? Anything ales I should be concerned about?

Thanks! He's much perkier today. Seems to standing more than squatting. He's coming out of his box to eat his mush I made for him! Still dropping the wing. If there is a break somewhere are they likely to heal with tlc? Maybe just be deformed? Or is it very bad?

Cleaned him up and found vetericyn spray! None of the punctures look life threatening so long as I can keep them for infection. I'm not sure if anything is broken or he's just painful. Droopy wing, sagging to the side and down. He's unbalanced but can walk.

Ps, I put the wire on the ground too to avoid sneaky ones from digging under. I felt it was secure but one corner wasn't right enough so he spread the wire until it puckered open.

It was a tractor I made with chicken wire. It held up for several weeks giving me false security. Chicken wire, zip ties and a wood frame for the door. I used an old greenhouse frame. He tested it until he found a weak spot it looks. Thankfully it isn't my coop or big run. But this was my grow...
