    Possibly coryza in two hens

    I will keep them quarantined and care for them until the vet can see them. But in case they seem like they are suffering, what is the best method for culling? and did you see the update on the swelling on Elsie?

    So I just noticed that Elsie has a large, soft swell on her right side. Behind the crop, her armpit area. She is keeping this wing lifted slightly

    I do have other hens, these two have been quarantined from my flock. Can you tell me anything else about MG and would Tylan 50 be the best way to treat it until I hear from the vet?

    The first picture is one of Maybelle's swollen nostril, which has decreased greatly. The second is Elsie and the third is the two of them together. Perhaps someone can tell me the breed?

    Possibly coryza in two hens

    Hello, Here is my back story.. nearing a month ago, I acquired two sick hens at an auction. One (Maybelle) I knew was sick, by the way she breathed, the other hen in the crate with her (Elsie) seemed ok. I believed Maybelle had a "simple" respiratory disease, which I have experience with in my...

    Limping, dirty bum pullet. Possible injury after hawk attack?

    Update : still no egg as of 6 this morning, still has limp, although she did hop off the roost herself this morning. I am not home right now, so she could be nesting but I won't know anything until late this evening

    Limping, dirty bum pullet. Possible injury after hawk attack?

    AH, so I need both grit and the shells? How do I control the lice and their eggs? I gave her and the flock a dust bath of diatameceous earth yesterday evening. She was the only one with the eggs like that. I was thinking it was a strain, but it is odd to be progessive.. Any way to help her with...

    Limping, dirty bum pullet. Possible injury after hawk attack?

    I went and bought some tums, crushed it up and gave her a couple small pieces. So does anyone know why her limping went from just a slight limp to a more noticeable one? She has gotten up on the roost every night since the incident but just now when I went to close the ladies in, she was the...

    She is soaking now, seems to be enjoying it. Is there anything other than tums that would help her?

    Limping, dirty bum pullet. Possible injury after hawk attack?

    I do not have tums. The crumbles I mix in the with groovy mix has oyster shells in it. But not realizing the importance of it when I bought grit a month or so ago, it was just the little rocks, not the crushed shells. So although they are getting some, maybe not enough? I was going to use up the...

    Limping, dirty bum pullet. Possible injury after hawk attack?

    The replies to the questions by @ChickNanny13 are in the quoted area, after each question and this is the photo of her vent, the gritty stuff is under her vent, at the base.of those little feathers. I am not sure if it is noticeable in the picture, but it is definitely out of the ordinary. I...

    Limping, dirty bum pullet. Possible injury after hawk attack?

    when I first pick her up to examine her, she is antsy, but she calms down and relaxes after a few seconds. I also have been looking into vent gleek? I think that was the name. I am not sure if that is the issue, she does have a white-ish, grey gritty material at the base of her feathers near...
