Okay - thanks you for all of that and for the links as well. I will check her crop first thing in the morning and compare her to the others. I didn't notice any smell when I looked down her throat, so I'm thinking it is not sour. I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks for the information! Can you tell me a bit more about feeling her crop. how to do that and what I am feeling for? IF her crop is impacted or sour what do I do for that?
I have a chicken that silent yawns and shakes her head...no other symptoms. she's been doing this off and on for a while now (months)...I look down her throat but don't really know what I am looking at. How do I tell if it is gapeworm or something stuck in her crop? I'd appreciate any advice -...
I just cured my chickens bumble foot with duct tape. After 2 rounds of clavamix and soaking and wrapping with novalsam no improvement I gave up and tried what made sense to me. I cut a small square if duct tape and after [/IMG][/IMG]cleaning her foot off I put on the duct tape and pressed to...
I am very happy to report that Agnes, after 4 days of Corid plus her Clavamox, watermelon, applesauce etc...is feeling lots better. She is walking around, stretching , eating her crumbles and generally being a chicken again. Thanks to everyone for their help, I know she wouldn't have made it...

By the 1:40 appointment she was barely with...
Thanks for your reply. What is the EDC section? I am new to this forum. My chicken is young, too young to lay for at least 2 more months, so I doubt eggbound. I did take her to the vet who did an exam and put her on clavamox in case she had eaten something that gave her an infection. I also have...
Well, Agnes is eating the applesauce and drinking her water on her own, but otherwise much the same, very tired and not walking around. Should I have already seen improvement? I started her on the corid water yesterday afternoon.
also wondering - can we still eat eggs they lay if they have been treated with corid? fyi - they are young and won't start laying for another 2 months at least
so I purchased the only thing they had: Corid (Amprolium) 20% soluable powder
coccidiostat - an aid in the treatment and prevention of bovine coccidiosis....that is the right one? and just a 1/2 tsp per gallon ofwater for 5 days?
thanks for you help much appreciated
