    Tapeworm & Roundworms!

    Dawg53 is a good source on worms and tapeworms. Since tapeworms can be reintroduced by the chickens getting the egs from droppings of a chicken with tapeworms, and by eating insects, beetles, worms, and mice that are intermediate hosts of tapeworms. Keep droppings picked up as possible, bedding...

    It is good that he is in a warmer area. Most tolerate mild frostbite. Is he eating and drinking okay?

    Let us know how she is doing, eating or drinking later. I would apply some antibiotic ointment to her wound after cleaning the area.

    Broken egg in vent

    Was the shell or have the recent shells been soft or thin? If not, and since she passed the shell, I probably would not. But if they were, it would not hurt.

    Mycoplasma or Injury?

    The testing on live birds by getting some swabs can be helpful. If you ever lose a bird, your state vet can do thorough testing with a necropsy.

    Broken egg in vent

    Sometimes a broken egg can be due to thin shelled eggs. It can be a good environment for infection. Hopefully, she will be fine.

    My Easter egger has lash egg. More lash egg.

    Do you have any pictures of the lash egg? Lash eggs are a product of salpingitis or inflammation of the oviduct. Here is some reading about it: https://the-chicken-chick.com/salpingitis-lash-eggs-in-backyard/ https://www.bhwt.org.uk/hen-health/health-problems/lash-eggs-salpingitis/

    Mycoplasma or Injury?

    That is not terramycin but a knock off that contains no oxytetracycline. There are several of those brands of ointment being sold to sound like terramycin/oxytetracycline. Yes, zoologix and RAL labs (vet dna) can do pcr testing for many diseases when they send you materials to collect swabs...

    New sneezing chickens

    Vets can’t help much if they brought a respiratory disease. Symptoms can sometimes help to identify if it is serious or not. Sneezing every few minutes for several weeks can be a sign of infectious bronchitis virus which runs it’s course over time and has no treatment. If you notice any eyelid...

    Broken egg in vent

    Give her human calcium or Tums to help her expel the rest if the egg. Has she passed any of the shell and contents? I would gently feel for any shell pieces and try to remove them. You can lubricate her vent if needed. Clean her up with warm soap and water. Any pictures may help.

    Upper Respiratory?

    It is dosed for the water. Tylan dosage is 5 mg per pound 3-4 times a day. Edited to say that Tylan 50 mg per pound daily should be taken.

    Egg Bound Again

    Can you give her a human calcium citrate tablet with vitamin d3 300-600 mg orally to see if it helps her to lay? Tums can be substituted. Has she been laying regularly? How old is she? Have you seen any lash eggs or thin shelled or shell-less eggs recently? Is her tail position up or down? What...

    Yellow Crust on ear area

    You can use a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide in the ear canal and QTips to try and clean it out. Plain triple antibiotic ointment or a bit of baby oil or mineral oil can be applied to the ear canal to smother any ear mites. Check it often to see if that needs to be repeated.
