    Baytril

    Did you have luck with the Baytril? I have a hen with a very minor Bumblefoot right now and I’m thinking about trying it. Our poultry vet said she has not had luck with it, but will write me a prescription if I want to try it.

    Sanitation!!

    I wash my waterer once a week with Dr Bronners soap and the feeder with every new bag of feed. I sterilize each about monthly with PureGreen24. In the summer, I sprinkle Sweet PDZ on the floor of my coop and clean it out daily. In the winter I do the deep litter method with pine shavings for...

    Egg bound, maybe?

    I have a very weird situation I need advice on. I was gone for a week and my boyfriend was taking care of my chickens. One of my hens, my only blue egg layer, didn’t lay the whole time I was gone which is not abnormal for her. I noticed she had a poopy butt when I got home so I grabbed her at...

    HELP PLEASE: Lethargic, Sick Chicken Showing Several Symptoms

    If you suspect gapeworm, you could dose with Valbazen. It treats ALL worms and is gentle.

    Yes. The whole flock should be treated anyway if one is sick.

    Flaxseed and tumors?

    Those are the articles I saw as well. I did read another article that said long term flaxseed use in chickens can cause liver hemorrhages, but of course it didn’t specify “long term”. Thanks so much for the help!

    Flaxseed and tumors?

    Hazel is only 2. The vet said this is the sad fate of the hybrid hens who lay daily. It’s just too much on their little bodies.

    Flaxseed and tumors?

    My Golden Comet, Hazel, has been laying thin shelled eggs. After trying all the usual stuff with no luck, I took her to the vet. Xrays determines she has some tumors in her reproductive track. She was injected with Suprelorin in hopes that stopping her reproduction will either get rid of the...

    Ivermectin overdose?

    It didn’t feel very full when I checked her, just hard. That concerned me that she wasn’t eating. She passed 2 very grassy stools around 7pm and 10pm. I noticed some runny stool matter in the pine shavings but not as much as normal for a chicken overnight. Then she passed the one I attached...

    Ivermectin overdose?

    What would you suspect from that poop, just so I can make sure I’m prepared. I dewormed with Valbazen in March.

    Ivermectin overdose?

    Yes, I checked it first thing. She seems much better this morning. I brought her back outside and she was happily eating treats with the rest of the flock. I’m definitely going to keep an eye on her. Maybe she ate too much grass and didn’t feel well? Her crop was quite hard last night when...

    Ivermectin overdose?

    She’s 2 years old and has been laying well. She pooped twice last night and I noticed a lot of grass in her poop when I looked through it. I never saw mites on this hen, but one of my others has feather mites so I was treating the whole flock. The ivermectin, if any of the spill got on her...

    Ivermectin overdose?

    Hello. I have a hen who I think I might have overdosed on ivermectin. I was giving everyone a dose yesterday for mites and the bottle tipped over on this hen. I I didn’t think any got on her, just on me. But, about 24 hours later that hen is acting off. I found her laying by herself in...
