    Bumblefoot.. still?

    A few weeks back I posted about my hen limping. She wound up with bumblefoot. I had gotten the scab off and she blead a little. But then a few days later I read something about making sure to get the "kernal" out. I had never seen one because there blood covered the wound. So I went in again and...

    URGENT Choking Duckling!!

    I don't know the current status and I have not read all of the replies, however I have seen videos where people say that the chicken winds up eating too much of hay and the hay winds up becoming almost like a bird's nest in their throat. And I've seen )on videos where the vet opens up the throat...

    Still being bumblefoot or scan?

    I recently posted about my hen having bumblefoot. I removed the scab but couldn't find the tail/kernal. She bled a little bit and bandaged her up. She seemed to do better the next day, but then she started to limp again. I checked the bottom of her feet and found a new sore on her other foot...

    How can i acclimate new hens

    My husband and I just bought three americana hens today. They are 7 months old. However, they were raised on a farm and they never really had much contact with people or being handled. They typically will run away in panic. I tried sitting on the ground inside the tiny little run / coop area...

    Pullet still sick ~duplicate... sorry~

    I gently pushed around the area under her eye. Nothing came out. I agree that she doesn't have blood coming out, thankfully! In my earlier post in this thread someone did suggest MG and I put her on antibiotics. They also said she must be suffering from a second issue that made things more...

    Pullet still sick ~duplicate... sorry~

    when she was on Tylan it helped with her other respiratory issues, but with the current condition remaining it lead us to believe she has ILT, which would explain why Tylan wasn't helpful. I'll talk to my husband about testing. She wasn't housed with the other's when she had her severe...

    Pullet still sick ~duplicate... sorry~

    we've tried VetRx and Tylan 50 on the 3 other pullets and they all got better. Our barred had the same symptoms as the other's in addition to the eye issues. The severe breathing issues have subsided, but the slight gasping and the eye issue haven't gotten better. ILT is not treatable with...

    Pullet still sick ~duplicate... sorry~

    We've have been giving her .3mg for about a month, muscular. The crackles in her breathing has subsided but she still looks like she struggles to breathe when she stretches her neck up and opens her beak to gasps for air. But it's her eyes that look so sunken in and dripping with fluid. We...
