good luck with your hen...I have a jubilee orpington with the same growth in the exact same place on the beak. Yes, I believe it is cancer.

My German Shepherd Dog has been known to remove heads in mere seconds. I imagine any other wild critter could do it also.

I went to our local TSC in east Orlando, Florida, yesterday and asked about the medicated chick feed. The clerk at the store told me they are still stocking the medicated chick feed but now it has been moved to the service desk area. Indeed, they had stacks of it for sale. yipeeee.

I bet you will be pleasantly surprised by how many people respond for the bantam size roosters. I had about 15 bantam roosters and people requested them first. People seem to love the bantams. I made sure to write to the people to make sure they were the type of people that wanted them as pets...

A warm welcome to the best chicken site there is on the internet. I have been to your town in Wales many many times. A beautiful area. Please let us know about getting your chickens when it stops raining! If it ever does! LOL.

I ordered many groups of "straight runs" from very good breeders around the country. So I ended up with like, 30 roosters. Like you, I had a problem with too many roosters. I do not kill my chickens, so I also had a problem there. I ended up putting an ad in Craigslist. I was really lucky to get...

I too have some chickens with "colds". Exactly which disease, I do not know. I understand and I know from reading that I need to take a dead one to have a necropsy. At this time, for various reasons, I am unable to do this. However, I have the Tylan and also Denagard. My question, I just read...

Oh, I can take some pics. They are pics that many may find repulsive. I have been putting the antibiotic, Terramycin in the eye. And it did bring down the swelling quite a bit. However, the yellow cheese still remains. You can't even see the eye ball. I am a newbie and I have never posted a...

I love to hear if anyone has more thoughts on this cheesy eye syndrome. No one has really given any ideas as to what this condition might be? CRD? Coryza? I am just curious.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It has educated me about this disease. It is so horrible what you had to go thru. My heart goes out to you!

I agree with Casportpony. Forget the eye worm. You need to be thinking CRD or Coryza.

I've bought my first bottle of ACV and I have been keeping it in the Fridge, because I am here in central Florida in the summertime heat with no AC in the house. I am still wondering if I need to keep the bottle in the fridge? I am just worried since it is so hot here.

I have had a number of chicks with the same symptoms in the past few weeks. They tend to just stand in one place with their eyes closed and opening their little beaks to breathe. They seem disinterested in eating and drinking. This goes on for a few days and sadly, the ending is not good. They...

Diamond, I think my 1588 was also reading 102 inside when I placed a thermometer to check the temp. I must say that I too was worried that the temp was too hot. Even though the directions for the 1588 said don't fool with the adjustments...well, I did. I put it to 99.6, the same temp as my...
