    Gapeworm

    Hi Kathy, Day 5. She won't get her final dosage until this evening. But I've seen little to no improvement. It appears better at times but then she'll cough/squeak and I'll see open mouth breathing. She continues to eat, drink, remain active, etc. You wouldn't know anything was wrong if...

    And you are saying to worm her every day for 5 days??

    Gapeworm

    Ok. so no negative reactions from the two meds, or the risk of over medicating her?? I thought it might be better to just dose her directly and not deal with putting it in the water. I typically give her 0.5cc during her normal worming. She's about 3lbs. So from your dosing above you think I...

    Gapeworm

    I treated my hen for Gapeworm on Saturday using 2 drops orally of ivermectin. Could have been a slight improvement yesterday but today she's back to sounding just as bad. The weather turned cold again, but I don't think that is a factor. I originally thought this was respiratory, but after 7...

    Will a clipped beak grow back

    No, her beak did not grow back. She has adapted the best she can. She has trouble picking up anything very small on a flat surface. She'll also miss the occasional worm that is trying to go back in the ground because she doesn't have the pointed beak in order to grab hold. But she does...

    Sneezing or coughing??

    Our Easter Egger has been squeaking for a while. I don't think they are sneezes. Her nostrils are never wet. She only seems to do it when she is walking around. Does not make the noise while roosting. Just curious if anyone has ever had a chicken do this, and is it normal. I thought since...

    Rooster shaking his head. whats wrong?

    Again, this is an old post but I'm having this problem with my roo. I've kept them in the coop the last 2 days because of the frigid weather. He did develop frostbite on the edges of his wattles. I believe this is due to him drinking and the water runs down, then you have the cold wind, which...

    NEED INPUT PLEASE on Bloody clumps in poo

    They are all over a year old. I thought that was something they would be immune to now. I have Tylan 50 on hand. Will that work? The one hen I mention that was taking the molting the hardest. I would say she looks puffed up and she is slow moving. But not all the time though. Please let...

    NEED INPUT PLEASE on Bloody clumps in poo

    On dropping board this morning. All poo in the back of dropping board from roosting last night look normal. Some loose but we frequently have that. This bloody clumped poo was at the front of the dropping board, so they were already up from roosting. 5 hens and 1 roo, all are going through a...
