I have an MG flock. It can be managed. Get some Tylan to start. It’s found at at farm supply store.

Please do not judge me too much even though I deserve it. I have about a hundred girls. Their care is so important to me and I use the vet a lot. One of my girls limped past me the other day. I immediately picked her up and almost died on the spot when I saw what looked like enormous mud balls...

I've given him a very thorough exam. It's not from the other ducks. He has some sort of I think fungal skin disease. It has traveled up under his feathers to his eye. This is definitely going to require a vet visit for him! Thank you all!

I have a great group of little calls. I noticed recently one was losing feathers around the neck, but tonight I saw it was looking serious and he has a yucky eye. The skin feels almost like beef jerky. It's shiny because I coated him in ointment. He has not been into anything. I suppose it's...

Precious Mary Margaret died terribly yesterday morning when she was getting her shot. I'd like to thank you so much for posting this info because now I know what happened. I've been sick myself and my daughter has been taking care of my girls. She'd been giving them geese food which was...

I'm also adding there's no coccidiosis or worms. They've been tested.

In the past month I've had two of my girls come down with a mystery illness. I always provide vet care for my chickens. I love these girls. My vets are not avian specialists, but they do their best. A month ago my sweet Clarabelle went down. She went to the vet multiple times. She was...

can dexamethasone injections be given orally? We have a mycoplasma positive flock. A couple have been having a rough week. The vet gave us dexamethasone as an injection, but I'm not comfortable with shots and the person who does them is out of town until tomorrow evening.

They look like red or gold sex links.

It's feathered just like my d'uccles. My vote is booted d'uccles.

Oh my gosh thank you so much! I lost six that were pipped. It was devastating. They bled out. I'll do some olive oil.

cat knocked incubator off the counter at 21 days. Most died. I put a few back in. One that lost a lot of the shell I assumed it was dead. It's alive! The membrane us separate from the egg and dry. Do I wet it? Put a wet paper towel on it? I'm so scared I'll kill it if I don't do this right.

Not that I can tell. She did have the clear liquid coming out before I tried crop massage.

She was very sick before I tried this. Lethargic, puffed up.

i have a 2 month old with I think sour crop. Large crop that is squishy and feels like a water balloon. I was massaging it from the bottom up and she had a lot of non smelly clear liquid coming up. Could I have aspirated this poor baby?
