    Tylosin dosing question - hen with swollen face on one side

    Thank you for this! I do have a milligram scale so I think I can get it pretty precise. Then I can put it in a treat she'll gobble up.

    Tylosin dosing question - hen with swollen face on one side

    I have a very small isolation run within my main run I use for separating, but the reason I'd prefer not to separate her is for the benefit of another hen who is bullied by the others in the flock and is buddy's with the puffy-faced hen and is the 2nd hen's only protection. The isolation pen is...

    Tylosin dosing question - hen with swollen face on one side

    I have a hen with a swollen face on one side and I suspect possible respiratory infection. She is acting & eating normally otherwise and no other hens in my small flock show any symptoms. I have Tylosin powder on hand. Can I treat her alone without having to separate from the flock? Normally...

    Bloody Yolk

    Just found this in a nest box. What the heck is it? It looks like a bloody egg yolk laid all by itself....?

    Mouse in crop

    Thank you for the answers! I have a tiny Dutch bantam that has had a lump in her crop for a few days now and when I massage her crop I can feel a gristle-y lump that seems very mouse-like. I have had this happen before with another (full sized) hen that had a very similar feeling lump and it...

    Mouse in crop

    I'm just curious...When a chicken eats a mouse whole, how long does it stay in the crop? Does it have to break down before it moves through? Can it cause an impaction? Thanks for any info!

    Bantam hen not walking, not digesting fully

    Thanks for the response. She is on Hen Boost Probiotics currently (today is day 5): https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Health-Solutions-Probiotics-Hydration/dp/B00FBRJGFW. It has probiotics, vitamins and electrolytes. I am afraid that it may be something that's not treatable, but I have to try...

    Bantam hen not walking, not digesting fully

    I have a 2 year old mixed breed bantam who has progressively become weaker to where she is no longer walking. It started several weeks ago after coming out of a broody spell. At first she seemed lethargic and sleeping a lot. Her poops looked normal (no diarrhea or blood) but often had...

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte roo?

    Wow, so it's the opposite of what I was thinking-- I thought I should handle him MORE and get him used to me, and the chance of him being sweet would increase. So two people now have said leave him be and DON'T handle him.......hmmm, interesting. Thanks.

    IMG_20180325_174345740 by h2olilee posted Mar 25, 2018 at 6:12 PM I have 3 chicks that are 3 & 1/2 weeks old now and I am suspecting that the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is a male. It is already starting to show a pink blush in the comb and wattle buds and is the obvious alpha over the other two...
