    Swollen eyes and nasal drainage

    Thank you for your suggestions. I gave her antibiotics last night at the emergency (phone) vet’s recommendation. It seemed to help a lot and her eye is open now but has what looks like soap bubbles coming from the now open eye. Still no respiratory symptoms. I’m not sure if she’s been picked on...

    I gave her antibiotics last night at the emergency (phone) vet’s recommendation. It seemed to help a lot and her eye is open now but has what looks like soap bubbles coming from the now open eye. Still no respiratory symptoms. I’m not sure if she’s been picked on by the other chickens - she has...

    Swollen eyes and nasal drainage

    One of my friendliest hens is sick and I don’t know with what. She was fine yesterday morning but then collapsed in the early afternoon. One of her eyes is swollen shut and her face is swollen on the other side too. It’s warm to the touch and there is white drainage from her swollen eye and...

    GAPEWORM - how to clean coop & run

    I’m in rural Oklahoma. The vet did give me antibiotics as well as fenbendazole to give the sick chicken I brought in. He said she also had a secondary respiratory infection. In answer to your question, she didn’t have any gurgling, rattling, or mucus (just some gasping) - but neither did the one...

    GAPEWORM - how to clean coop & run

    Yes, he shined a flashlight down my sick hens throat and said he saw the worms. He said she did also have a secondary infection and gave her antibiotics for those. But told me to treat all the chickens for the worms.

    GAPEWORM - how to clean coop & run

    I got some chicks from a feed store last June and one of them was sick with something that made it gasp and have trouble breathing. I took it back within 24 hours but I’m afraid it may have infected the others.

    GAPEWORM - how to clean coop & run

    I took one of my hens to the vet yesterday. Another of my chickens passed away suddenly this week and this one started looking sick too. The vet confirmed my flock has gapeworm! He started all my birds on fenbendazol. The receptionist told me I should wait a day and then clean my coop and run so...

    New hen has white around her eye

    Thank you! I was able to get a closer look at it this morning and it almost looks like skin. Could it be her inner eyelid? She’s 3.5 years old. I had promised some of these hens to a friend and she took this one today. She’s had chickens longer than me and said it didn’t look too bad. She’s...

    New hen has white around her eye

    I got these hens day before yesterday. They’re still in quarantine kept separate from my flock. This one has one eye that appears to have a white ring around it. It seems bigger today and I’m not sure if she can see out of it. What could cause this and should I be concerned about infecting my...

    13-14 week old buff Orpington, still look like roo?

    This is one of my favorites and my only buff Orpington. I thought maybe it was a rooster because of the red comb and the neck feathers, but I saw 3 adult BO hens today that look really similar. Any chance this is a pullet? Could he/she be an early bloomer with the comb? I need to decide whether...

    Cockerels or pullets?

    The others have no colors in their combs and are physically smaller so hopefully they’re pullets

    Cockerels or pullets?

    Cockerels or pullets?

    These are my two 8-9 week old chicks that I’m starting to worry about. One of them (at least) is crowing in the mornings. Can you tell which is a cockerel? The tan chick is a Buff Orpington. Not sure about the black one.

    Can a single bantam chick join a standard flock?

    How would you introduce them? Stick the little ones in at night or during the day?
