    Post Bumblefoot Issues

    I have a chicken that I had treated for bumble foot three weeks ago. Vet removed the plug and gave her a small dose of penicillin. Her foot seemed tender and she was hesitant to walk for a few days but then got better and was up and moving around. The last few days she seems to have gone back...

    Ruffled feathers, lethargy, runny green stools - Diagnoses and Treatment?

    I forgot to mention, we have not wormed them, but I think it would be a great time to do that as well. I don't know if it's too much to worm them and have them on an antibiotic at the same time. We have some chickens three years of age, some two, and a couple that are one. We had a few to the...

    Ruffled feathers, lethargy, runny green stools - Diagnoses and Treatment?

    Thanks so much! I did talk to a vet this morning that recommended Tetracycline, so I'm starting that tonight in hopes it helps. I'll try to get a picture of the diarrhea. It is a bit yellowish tinged and watery, but has an off smell. I will also try to get her to eat some scrambled egg to...

    Cut leg - how to keep chicken from messing with bandage?

    Cut leg - how to keep chicken from messing with bandage?

    Our chicken got a small cut on her leg that seems to want to keep bleeding. Probably b/c she's pecking at it, so the medicine I put on it to clot and help it heal doesn't do much good when she reaches down, gives it a good peck and gets it bleeding again. I have her separated from the rest of...

    Newbies

    Hi - We recently built a chicken coop and run and have added 11 production red hens to our family. We got them at two weeks old, but now our 14 weeks old. They've been a great joy and we've really enjoyed interacting with them and seeing their personalities. We look forward to when they...
