    What am I doing wrong?! Please help

    Okay, that is what we do too. I was thinking all this time I was supposed to be giving them bottled water. LOL Thanks! What does everyone do to stop parasites and bacteria then if you don't use vinegar?

    What am I doing wrong?! Please help

    Thank you all. Read the link you provided Zrcalo. Thanks. I was only putting 1/4c for 5 gallons of water. I will quite going forward though. That leads me to the next question on watering though. How do you water your birds? We built an automatic waterer, from a plan we got from BYC. We...

    What am I doing wrong?! Please help

    I'm ready to give up!!! We bought 7 pullets at the end of January ages 12 - 16 weeks old. The woman we bought them from said a couple of them should be laying by mid/late February. 3/4 days after bringing them home 3 of the 7 presented with a respiratory illness. Thanks to all of you here...

    Infected Eyes

    Today there is hardly any puss in her mouth. Her eyes are not draining at all but they are still both scabbed over shut. She is up and about, blindly, eating. She has a good crop. Today is supposed to be her last day of Tylan. Do I stop or keep going?

    Infected Eyes

    Casportpony- If you would tell me how to treat sinus infections I would greatly appreciate it. Like I said she acts like she feels fine. She was scratching and foraging for food today... she just can't see. It makes it that much harder to cull her. No there is no odor. Tomorrow will be...

    Infected Eyes

    I tried taking pictures tonight but the lighting was poor so they didn't come out. I will try again tomorrow during the day. However, yes the inside of the mouth has pus like your bottom picture shows.

    Infected Eyes

    Here is a picture. I knew when starting a backyard flock that having to cull birds would be part of the deal. I'm not against it, don't like it but not against it. I understand that even though the other 6 chickens are well that they are carriers and the flock must be closed. I now know...

    Infected Eyes

    I had a chicken start with bubbly eyes last Wednesday. We started Tylan 50 Thursday on all 7 chickens. By Thursday evening 3 of the chickens had bubbly eye. By Friday 2 of the chickens no longer had bubbly eye except the first chicken that started it all. Now all the chickens are healthy...

    Tylan 50 Question

    I need to treat my hens for mycoplasma today. Hubby is stopping to pick up Tylan 50 from the store on his way home. It is the injectable kind. I have read some people inject it in to the breast and some "inject" or squirt down the throat. What is correct or recommended? Thanks!

    What is this? Help Please!

    So what do we do? We don't have a lot of money to spend on vet bills and medicines. Is the best thing to do is to get rid of all 7 chickens then start over? The problem with that is the kids and I saved up for several months to be able to buy pullets and get our coop built and ready to go...

    What is this? Help Please!

    We just bought our very first hens 9-days ago. They are between 10 and 19 weeks of age. Everything has been going smoothly. They transitioned well and over the last day or two will come up to me when I go outside. We bought these hens for egg laying only. So far all the chickens are active...
