    Prolapsed Hen!!!!

    Hi, I've been dealing with 2 prolapses at once. She needs to be in a separated area from the others and preferrably in a dark place. That will slow her egg making down in a day or two and help her heal. If you could send pictures, we'd know how bad it is. Let her bottom soak in warm water...

    help diagnose 2 prolapses

    Can I get Tylan at tractor supply store? and now I'm wondering if the prolapse is the initial problem or a symptom of something else. How likely to have 2 at the same time that look exactly alike. Thanks for the reply. Im working on pictures now.

    help diagnose 2 prolapses

    I've been dealing with my first prolapse for week now keeping her inside in a dark area and using honey and triple antibiotic cream. It would be successful for a couple of days and pop out again. It only comes out maybe 1/2 inch and have an area with white rubbery coating which I assumed...

    our first prolapse

    I'm dealing with my first case of prolapse. I have a Tucks pad here and was wondering if that would work until I could get preparation H. It does have alcohol as an ingredient and didn't want to use if it was going to be too painful. the prolapse at this point is small and it popped back in...

    swollen feet, toes and leg

    This looks like frost bite but I don't know what to do for it. Do a search for it on this site and/or google.

    Blood in the henhouse

    I can't think of anything else except to check each one again tomorrow in the sunlight. Watch for unusual behavior. Good luck.

    Advice on possible early bumble foot

    That sounds like a good idea. Send her to the spa by soaking her feet in some epsom salt about 10-15 minutes, dry them off and take a good look. If there is a scab, there is plenty of instructions on this board to follow. If not, keep a close watch.

    Bumblefoot Questions?

    When I put them to bed, she was on her roost and looking pretty comfortable. My husband is home tomorrow and and check in on her. I'm hoping to get all feet cleared up before winter. 2 more to go.

    Bumblefoot Questions?

    No and the severity of infection, you may be able to do it by yourself. It is much easier with 2 people and you have moral support. My husband and I just finished a bumblefoot procedure and the plug was the size of a quarter. It was our 2-3 attempt on this girl and I finally let it get...

    City Girl needing all the help I can get!

    We are very happy with our Red Stars. 6 girls=6 eggs 99.9 percent of the time. Most of them are too big for the large egg cartons. They are very friendly and get along with each other. They are generaly very quiet. My only advice is to read, read, and read some more about chickens before you...

    Bumblefoot at the tip of a toe?

    Hippy chick, I had the same problem as you and a previous poster. It looked like we were digging at flesh, no cheesy plug to be found. For one girl we were able to remove a fingernail size plug but appearantly not the whole thing. Where it was removed returned to normal but to one side has...
