Thanks everyone. All the poults have passed. I have never seen bumble in a baby. They seemed to have a hard time breathing. Like fluid was in there lungs. I felt so bad for those babies. It made me angry that they suffered like they did.

The 3rd poult is doing what the first two did before they died. I’m so frustrated. Idk what to do. I’ve given them la200, vitamins and probiotics in the water, I’ve even checked for mites. These babies hasn’t been here but a few days and each night one dies. They were doing ok today and seemed ok.

And so far the other poults are eating and drinking so I’m hoping for the best. Would penicillin or LA 200 be good here? Could this be mycoplasma causing it? I read it causes infection throughout the body and bumble is infection. I’m sorry for posting so much but I’m trying to keep these babies...

The baby died. We took the other poults out and cleaned there cage. They was purchased from a breeder and have good light. Kept in the house. We started cleaning there feet also just in case poo was there. One has pasty butt. I noticed on 3 that they have what looks like bumblefoot. It’s hard...

I need everyone’s advice. Brought home some turkey poults not even a week old. One of them started doing like a gag motion and really weak. Won’t eat. Sounds stuffy when it breathes. It died. Now a few days later another one is getting symptoms. Doesn’t sound stuffy but it keeps closing its eyes...

Thank you. I’ve never used it but plan to.

Barn lime not barb lime. Stupid phone

Will barb lime hurt chickens if they ingest it somehow

The flesh from her neck was gone down to the bone. The rest of her was fine. Ive checked and nobody is sick. She was fine earlier. This happened during the day. I had a old hen die of old age a few months ago and the other chickens didnt do her that way.

I had a full grown (1 year and half old) buckeye hen. I found her in the coop with only the skin and tissue eaten from her neck and her eyes gone. I live in Kentucky. Only predators ive seen up my way is possums, coyotes and hawks. The coop is coyote proof and hawk proof. It had to be something...

Update: this chick never fully recovered. It will fall if another chick runs into it. But other than that it is doing good.

Update: the chicks are doing better. I think it was prob the ivermectin.

I have a mixed flock. Older girls and 4 month old chicks. Some of the chicks are really weak. If bumped they fall over and lay there. Feeding time they jump in with the crowd and eat. Always have water. I add electrolytes and vitamins to water once a weak. Poop is normal. No new chickens have...

The one with the feathers sticking up on his head is pronounced toppie. I used to have one. Friendly little guy.

Exolt is the same ingredient as Bravecto (fluralaner) that vets give dogs and cats for ticks and fleas.
