This is a puzzle! Did you ever figure it out?

Can a brooder heat plate effectively keep chicks at 95F when it’s 60F in the garage at night. Do I need to bring them inside? I know there’s a limit to how effective they are in lower temps.

Give them fertilized eggs to sit on?

And?

They may, its very contagious.

Maybe…but we have been through it before. Its ear mites. But I understand that you still may not have the info i need on ivermectin. I will probably visit the local vet supply in a nearby city. I would like to budget vet money towards a resurgence in my cats allergic reaction on her belly...

Can I use the ivermectin paste to treat my cat and dog for ear mites? That is, if I can even find it at tractor supply these days. I wouldn’t be surprised if they took it off the shelf because of the Covid stuff. Just trying to save myself a couple hundred dollar vet bill!

And yes the auto correct goes crazy sometimes! When I use talk to text it often thinks that I have a foul mouth, especially when I’m texting family members, so I have to always double check what it is typed out 😂

I have her on a pee pad, so whatever is sticking to her is coming from her. I have been soaking and giving her various creams Such as Hydro Cortizone and also just plain hemorrhoid cream which of have read is not recommended anymore but I have no idea why. Yes it’s not terrible, it just doesn’t...

It was pretty big at first, but now it just sticks out about half an inch. However, it is pretty gnarly looking and seems to have hard crusty bits accumulating on it that are very difficult to remove even after soaking. I have been googling it but I haven’t seen a lot of helpful things beyond...

I have been treating this female for a couple of days for prolapse. It seems to have gotten a little better but there is still protrusion. I was reading that people cull if it does not improve after a couple of days, is this best? or should I keep trying? Also, I’ve been soaking her once a day...

Hydramethlnon is the active ingredient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdro

Thank you!

We put Amdro’s ant bait on ant beds in the part of the yard that the chickens cannot reach. Of course, Murphy’s Law kicked in and the chickens managed to find a way in that day. This was over a week ago and I researched it and it says that they would be okay, since they only ingested the portion...

My chicks had heat stroke and now are wet because I was cooling it off. How should I dry them? With a towel? Would a hair dryer on low setting just make it worse ? One is lethargic and the other one is walking around, but they are probably getting chilled.
