    Something growing on roosters faces (mostly around ears)

    The earlobes look like they could have normal white spillage coloring, but the area around the ears and on the face look like he has been scratching them. I would also look into his ears and use a QTip and peroxide to clean them and look for ear mites or gunk. If they are very dirty, then you...

    Should I trust the vet for crop issue?

    I would call the vet back and ask if they can do a follow up xray to see where the foreign body is located now. They should have suggested crop surgery after the xray. If it has moved on in the digestive system to the gizzard or intestines it is hard to know what could happen. I don’t have any...

    Coccidiosis help please!

    It would be 1.5 tsp of the powder into 2 ml of water, which equals the undiluted Corid. Then give 0.1 ml of that mixture per pound of weight.

    Coccidiosis help please!

    I wouldn’t isolate anyone unless they are being trampled or picked on. The drench dose is 0.1 ml per pound of weight orally of the undiluted Corid.

    Coccidiosis help please!

    How much Corid are you using in the water. I would use 2 tsp per gallon for 5-7 days, and give the drench 0.1 ml of undiluted orally 1-2 times a days for any who are really sick. Then you can also treat with 1/4 of the water dose for an additional 5 days if needed. What are the ages? Have you...

    Clear Liquid From Vent

    Oh okay. It would be good to know if the clear fluid is yellow like water belly fluid is. If she does some, try putting a white paper towel on it to soak some up to note the color. Water belly fluid leaking could be related to reproductive disorders.

    Clear Liquid From Vent

    I had a hen who always had watery fluid droppings. This was when I had poop boards under my roost, and hers would be like pouring water into the sand-like bedding. She would act like she was laying an egg every other day, then no egg would be left in the next box. I never figured out her...

    2 Week Old Chick Eye Swollen Shut

    What does her eye look like inside. Is the eye intact and normal or is therek any gunk inside? I would keep using the ointment. Rinsing depends on if there is any gunk inside.

    Sick hen not Eatting or drinking possible infection

    The best thing to do is to get the bird tested for coryza I would think. It only takes a day or two after being exposed for healthy birds to become sick. Sulfa antibiotics (bactrim, trimeth sulfa, sulfadimethoxine) may help treat symptoms, but the disease is chronicgetting better then worse, and...

    Sick hen not Eatting or drinking possible infection

    The yellow buildup could be coryza. Does either eyelid have swelling or drainage from the eye? Can you ask the owner if they have ever treated or lost a bird to respiratory disease?

    Sick hen not Eatting or drinking possible infection

    Is the yellow drainage around her beak and nostril mucus from her nasal passages? Does it stink? Can you look into her beak for any yellow matter? How does her crop feel—empty and flat, full, squishy, dough-like or firm? Can you check her crop again early in the morning before she eats or...

    rat bite injury

    The betadine and neosporin would be okay to use especially with a puncture wound. I would let her be out and do what she normally does, but watch for swelling or an anscess. Did this just happen? Could it have been a snake?
