    Egg bound ... retention

    Thanks... there's no Walmart in Australia, is the calcium d3 just a human pill? Are you able to tell me the dosage, then I can find the equivalent here :) I did move the yard box into the coop about a month ago, they didn't ever use it again! I had shell grit out for them, I will get some...

    Egg bound ... retention

    Hi all, Had our first egg bound experience yesterday.... There are two nesting boxes in the coop, and an automatic door leading to a run for the mornings. Due to foxes in the area I don't let them out until 8am, however some days this can be a bit later. My 3 chooks are stubborn and won't...

    Injured Eyelid - torn?

    Thanks for the advice... Looking a bit better today. I can't catch her during the day, still working on trust for a pat and I don't want to stress her out. Still looks a little bit swollen around the eye. I will flush again tonight (grab her off the perch)

    Injured Eyelid - torn?

    Hi all, I have a bantam OEG, her eye looked a little odd this morning, and by the afternoon was definitely not right. Still open, but just looking different to her other eye. We waited till night time, picked her off the perch, and I washed her eye with a weak salt / water solution. I tired...

    My experience with a chicken with Gape worm - symptoms, what to do and what not to do.

    Nope not molting that I can see! If she gets worse I will take her to the vet. But while she seems fine, just with the strange cough, I will let her be.

    My experience with a chicken with Gape worm - symptoms, what to do and what not to do.

    Yes that's what I started with - I treated with this for a week, then the bubbles went away and the cough sound started, and on it went! She still seems fine, it's been a month now, she isn't laying though so something is still not right.

    My experience with a chicken with Gape worm - symptoms, what to do and what not to do.

    Thank you so much for replying! I'm in Melbourne, Australia. I keep thinking it can't possibly be gapeworm given how healthy she seems. She stopped laying eggs when she first started having little bubbles forming in her eye about a month ago when she had her breakfast. That has since...

    My experience with a chicken with Gape worm - symptoms, what to do and what not to do.

    Thank you for writing this up, I'm very sorry for your loss, and very grateful that you have shared all this information. I'm currently trying to rid my Chicken of Gapeworm. She seems healthy and fine, I think she has been infected for about 5 or 6 weeks now. I treated her with the Avitrol...
