    HELP! Sores on combs and wattles

    Apple cider vinegar with the "mother" is a good way to administer probiotics. I put a few tablespoons in their waterer everyday along with the vitamins. Thank you all for the good info. Now I'm going to go doctor Cocoa's sores. Poor babies. I hope everyone's birds recover soon.

    My chicken can stand but not walk

    Update on my girl We had to put her to sleep today. Bless her heart she tried and I tried to help her, but she was just slowly getting worse. She doesn't have to suffer anymore though. Thank you everyone for all your help and suggestions. I feel like we've done all we could do for her.

    [Non Emergency] Does this look like Scaley Leg Mite to anyone else?

    I've heard of soaking the feet first in warm water to soften the skin, dry with a towel to exfoliate and loosen dead scales, then dipping the legs and feet in linseed or olive oil to suffocate the mites, wipe off excess oil, then follow up with vasoline.
