I hope your poor little girl and YOU are doing well. Please keep us posted on her progress.

Sorry to bring this up front again, but I would really appreciate it if someone would give me some input. Is there something else I could be doing for my roo's eye? I stopped using the tripple antibiotic, I am not sure this is a good thing for him. I read somewhere a while back that the...

My black Silkie roo has an eye injury. I noticed it nearly a week ago, and have been trying to doctor it. I used some tripple antibiotic ointment in the eye, the only change I can see is I am pretty sure he is blind. I assume he and another roo had a squabble, tho there are no other injuries...

I have an update on Bridgett my bantam frizzle. She does have sinusitis, her wattles, ears, (one more so than the other) above her eyes, around her beak, are swollen. I contacted our University of Maine Animal Health Laboratory and asked for help. I was told to give her Tetracycline which is...

Poor little Molly, this protrusion is about 1/2", is deep red, has some discharge and bloody streaks. What can I do for her? This little girl lays shell-less eggs when she does lay an egg which is not often. She lays her eggs from the perch, and ofcourse they break when they land in the...

Thank you for your help, I surely will check into these sites. She has not died yet, she is trying to recover, did eat some and is drinking. This is a good sign I think. Joan

This is the third chicken that is sick, the other two passed away. They were both Frizzles. I don't know what to do, our farm vet isn't up on chickens. We did find worms on a perch, called the vet and got some worm medicine, (it is PANACURE, .1cc for each bird by mouth) that was over a week...
