    Decision Time for Lilly: Prolapsed Vent

    6. Adding this reply, she acted withdrawn and like she didn't feel well, but keeping upright, etc. when I brought her indoors for treatment. She was never "down". But her alertness and posture has increased quite a bit in the last 3 days. She sort of crows in the morning if I have not soaked and...

    Decision Time for Lilly: Prolapsed Vent

    Update on Stella: 1. Today, for the first time since discovery of the prolapse, it is retracted. Bulging some, but in. 2. Her initial treatment plan was epsom salt daily soaks and cleaning the vent area, spraying on a antimicrobial/antifungal poultry wound spray. 3. I added crushed the...

    Vent Prolapse

    I am in the same situation. I neglected to mention I have also used poultry injury spray. I see no one replied to you, I wondered what you have decided to do. I was at the vet for my dog last week and she won't see the chicken, just said put her down. Let's don't pretend I can afford to take...

    Giving in to poison …

    My farm supply told me recently that the reason my rat problem is continuing is that Tom Cat bait might kill a mouse after 2 feedings, but would not kill rats. I never had rats before and fighting them is a new thing. I think they are coming from a neighbors shed. I am using Just One Bite bar...

    Anyone worry about using PVC for feeding / watering?

    So l am going to need to change from the hanging traditional feeders that the hens like to something that wastes less food and creates less mess. I am really conflicted about the PVC pipe, it is not food grade, true. Concern 1. Two is do they just knock all the fees out the open bottom to...

    Buff Orps with dark patches?

    No I don’t. I mean to say just watch those areas as they evolve from chick fuzz to feathers. Keep an eye on it is all. Probably fine just transitioning

    Buff Orps with dark patches?

    I have Buffs and have raised buff chicks from broody hens, I am not seeing anything unusual here on feather color, on the 815 photo the tiny wingfeathers coming in are more what they will look like as adult colorings. As for the patches on the shoulders, I would watch it. It could be where new...
