    Non urgent help needed, hens nostril abnormal

    Started them on this. They have had nasal infections in the past and this is what I have, but it doesn't seem like that's it at all. Maybe it is debris. I'm doing soaks and feeding them a good mash while they're inside. There is a second bird. Came with her. Also, sick in the past. I keep them...

    Non urgent help needed, hens nostril abnormal

    Oh! Otherwise she's cleaning herself, walking, pooping fine, eating. Not as sing songy, but she's been inside and I imagine feels bad.

    Is this infection? I have her on pigeon antibiotics, I have no idea how old she is. I'm thinking around 6, give or take. I wasn't her originally owner. She does seem underweight, so we are working on that. She's currently inside with me and another hen getting antibiotics and special attention...

    My flock won't let the new girl roost?

    I separated the two bullies from feeding this afternoon. They got to watch everyone eat and could eat when everyone else was done lol. I don't have a rooster... I wonder if removing them for a night would work? Hmmmm

    My flock won't let the new girl roost?

    I have no where to put them.. and it's really only one. My flock is only 5 girls + the newbie and the biggest "bully" is a Delaware... not really sure how I could separate them.

    My flock won't let the new girl roost?

    I've been shoving them aside and just pushing her on the roost at night for a few nights now just after dark. She usually just waits for me on top of the coop. Just wondering how long it could take before they accept her into their clan... is there any chance they could deny her? I may end up...

    What's a bb size dose?

    I was told by the owner of my chicken and hay feed store that she has cocci. She had all the symptoms.. now she just acts anerexic. Will only eat lettuce and tomatoes. And yogurt. Sometimes avocado. I'm force feeding fat and protein rich foods now. I stopped but she declined so I'm starting...

    What's a bb size dose?

    Not sure how to read this. The bottom part that says chickens doesn't seem to be referring to ivermectin.

    What's a bb size dose?

    She had a good afternoob outside. She hasn't been out in a while due to serious rain but she's back in and her crop feels super full. Which makes me so happy. I did force feed about 15 mls. Wish us luck.

    What's a bb size dose?

    I have ivermectin past 1.87% and need to dose one sick chicken. I'm also treating for cocci. She's been sick over a month and hasn't been treated for anything. I was told to just try to get her weight up. She's isolated in a large dog kennel in her own bedroom. Less than one year. Buff orp...
