    Green diarrhea

    Green squirting diarrhea, otherwise seems ok. This bird was a rescue. Gave her a bath and cleaned her up. Vent looks fine-lays a good M egg every other day. I don't see mites. I may have noticed some white residue around nostrils and top of beak, before washing her, but vent is clean, no...

    Albendazole administration

    thanks :) isn't .5ml the dose for worming a normal chicken (not bantam)

    Albendazole administration

    Thanks so much. Do you slowly put into bottom of beak, or straight into the throat? I am nervous about aspiration.

    Albendazole administration

    I have 21 chickens and I haven't dosed orally before. My plan, from a friend, is to go in at night and take them off the roost, one-by-one, and do the oral drench with a syringe while holding each in my lap. I did not get a fecal done, but I have multiple dirty butts forming and already did 5...

    corrid medication dried out-still good?

    I applied the Corrid to some bread cubes, but due to unforeseen circumstances, had to stop application after four chickens. The corrid has dried on the bread. Is it still potent to give to the chickens a few days later, or should I make new bread cubes?

    Special needs chicken deteriorating health

    I have decided to cull her. I won't be posting more photos. To answer questions, the extra leg is quite large (stiff and immobile) and gets quite dirty, as the clawed foot is located under the working vent. She is super friendly, always at my feet, and has had a great "attitude" and...

    Special needs chicken deteriorating health

    I posted here a while back. I have a chicken with three legs (and two vents). The third leg and second vent are non-functional. She is about 8 months old. She was doing well until lately. Spending time in the nesting box, but not laying. Smelling bad, I would bring her in for baths and this...

    crooked toes on chick 5-6 weeks old. Too late to splint?

    I have a 5 week old chick-golden campine (delicate feet) raised with larger sized chicks of same age. Toes were either hatched this way or injured, but is it too late to splint?

    I believe a hybrid. Hoover's Hatcheries. GREEN eggs....

    THIRD LEG ON CHICK

    My instincts (and a bit of medical background) tell me it's not going to work out. Everything on her back end is shifted, nothing is straight. I'm going to keep feeding her and letting her grow, and monitoring her. Taking to vet seems cost prohibitive-$6 chick and sedation and X-ray seem...

    THIRD LEG ON CHICK

    I'll check. But I sort-of deduce that they will tell me she will likely have issues laying, which I already know, and if that happens, she will need to be culled, as reconstructive surgery is cost prohibitive and likely won't result in eggs anyway. I have the means, but sedation and an X-ray...

    THIRD LEG ON CHICK

    SLGE's come in all colors. It was one of three I bought-all different shades, but similar body shape. That's how it was labeled.

    SWOLLEN/STUFFED CROPS...

    One or two continue with somewhat harder-feeling bulges. I'll check again this AM. I've been massaging, but seems to stay harder and big for that chick. I guess, I'm just nervous about forcing olive oil d/t aspiration. Is there a technique to help ensure it doesn't go in lungs.
