My dog attacked my black austrolorp aka (Blackie). Blackie has a lot of feathers gone and lots of open wounds on her back. My neighbor who is a vet tech treated her by washing out the wounds with saline and gave tylan for any infection according to his doctor friend that treats birds. I've also...

thanks Michelle

not that anyone replied to my posting about Zebra. Well today we woke up and my daughter found her dead. We are so heartbroken. My flock of 5 is now a flock of one just our adopted chicken Blackie is left. Not sure what to do with her at this point since I know they need friends. I have few...

I wanted to give an update. Zebra is doing better. Yesterday she wouldn't even eat meal worms and today she is and is talking more. I tried Tylan making up a small batch and giving it to her via syringe. I was wondering how long should I continue the Tylan, today is day 2?

you won't get anything until they are between 7-9 months depending on the breed

I forgot to add that she did lay two "fart eggs" before not laying

I have a 2 year old fayoumi and she has not laid anything in about 2 or 3 weeks. I live in Littleton, Colorado so temperature can be hot. She has lots of shade. She also has had runny poo white no green in it. She isn't eating very well but is eating. I'm not sure how her drinking is. She is not...

Well I'm sad to say the our Peanut Butter died it was marek's disease. I have this very sad feeling this aweful disease is going to get the rest of my chickens. I pray for Rainbow, Zebra and Blackie that they are safe from it. Only time will tell

I am going to planting a garden in which two of my chickens who had Marek's disease were. Is it safe to plant my veggies in the dirt they used for their dust baths?

all you need to do is fill a soda can with pennies tape it really good and when your dog starts to chase the chickens throw the can down to make a lot of noise but the key is not to say anything I repeat dont say anything. The noise will make the dog stop and it will be like an act of God or...

I have ruled out eggbound, lice/mites, and worms. That is why I went to the tylan I figured if was something bacterial the tylan would take care of it, but she isn't getting better hence this post. I don't know what else to do at this point.

I was wondering how long after Marek's disease should I wait to get new chickens even if I've throughly sanitized the coop and the run. I know shouldn't house them in the same coop but I only have room for one coop and only one place for them as well?

1) What type of bird , age and weight She is a RIR, just a little over a year her, not sure how much she weighs but she is losing weight 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She isn't laying, walks around with her tail feathers down and sits most of the time. Just noticed today 4/27/12 that she is...

How long after giving tylan powder will i see any improvements?
