    Wheezing / labored breathing has me perplexed

    I've come to terms with the possibility that Bernzie has a respiratory infection and simply needs another course of antibiotics. What else could it be? I called a vet (a different one this time) and he prescribed Baytril for 7 days. I'll keep people updated on her recovery. Oh, and the...

    Wheezing / labored breathing has me perplexed

    Thanks for the advice. Duramycin, is that an antibiotic? Is it the same as Teramycin? She was just on a 7 day course of Baytril while living in the lap of luxury at the vet. Would I start another course of antibiotics so soon? Any other suggestions/experiences would be appreciated.

    Hen with swollen behind: Eggboud?

    Hello all, Yesterday I noticed one of my Araucana hen's egg sack seemed to be drooping a little. she was still running around with the rest so I figured I'd wait a day to see if whatever it was passed. Today it was the same. She's still eating and roosting and not sticking too close to home as...

    White Worms in Poop

    Just came on here for the same problem. Cleaning the dropping board this morning, I noticed some small white worms. I think "Chicken Obsessed" was right, in my case however. They were maggots. I'll need to clean the board more frequently with the warm weather here. The poop picture page helped...

    Help - vent leaking clear liquid.

    Well folks, once again you've helped me avert a chicken emergency. As suggested, I gave her a warm bath for about 30 minutes and massaged her abdomen from front to back, as well as her vent (she fell asleep after 2 minutes in the bath). After the bath, I put vaseline around and in her vent...

    Hello folks. When my hens went to roost tonight, I noticed one of my 7 month old pullets was hanging around a nest. I went back 15 minutes later and she was in the nest. I noticed a clear liquid leaking from her vent. I lifted her tail and found lots of dropping on her inner tail feathers. She's...
