UPDATE: my Easter egger is back in the coop she is much better still in sulfatrim. The Brahma that was super sick yesterday coughing is a lot lot better with only two doses of Cephalaxim. She is acting normal and with a healthy appetite. The Roo is better too still congested but moving around...
The sulfatrim was provided by the avian vet. She said the federal government limits what she can prescribe as antibiotic for chickens. The second one I am treating with Cephalaxin as it is the only one I have handy. I order antibiotic online from Jebb Ty losing I believe. The vet wasn’t very...
The antibiotic is Sulfatrim. UPDATE: another came down too. this one is making same noises but also something that resembles a sneeze or a cough in chicken version. omg what did i do bringing this new chickens in. so sad and upset at myself . i should have known better .
Thank you ! The EE is laying but the RIR are too little they are like 3 mo this old still smaller than the EE not laying yet. I just introduced them so Rock is probably trying to dominate 🤷🏻♀️. He had mostly left them alone after the first few days
I would love to let my chickens run free. I lost 2 in a raccoon attack last year. They roam all day. They go I to the coop at night and I lock them in. I have 1.5 acres and lots of hiding places
I purchased my dark Brahma “Bruh” from at 2 weeks old with my roster “Rock” a Plymouth Rock. He seems to have come to age and is mating with my Easter egger. My hen “Onxy” is not letting him mate yet she is still the highest peeking order and he doesn’t seem to want to make with his brooder...
Her symptoms were lethargy, snoring sounds when breathing and extending her neck while opening her mouth to take a breath. I found out when she would not leave the coop in the morning. Other are roaming currently again maybe paranoid .
Well that sucks. 😥. I took the sick one to avian vet she said no real way to properly test until after death necropsy. Anyone has any advice on when to reintroduce a sick birth. She has been on antibiotics for 3 days now. She is still sleeping most day but no more symptoms of wheezing or having...
GM BYC!
So my cute Easter egg we sugar got sick . She had some kind of respiratory illness. I isolated and took to the vet she was snoring and lethargic wouldn’t eat or drink. Vet gave her antibiotics. She has been on them for 2 days now and looking much better. But she still won’t eat. She is...
Logically I knew he looked like he was sunbathing but he is the only one who does that weird pose that looks like he is hurt instead of the hens rest without sticking the leg to the side that looks liken something is wrong lol
My 4-5 month old rooster rests (naps) on the ground in a weird way. He is otherwise healthy and does not seem like there is anything wrong. I just want to make sure this is normal behavior. He is still young and one of my oldest hen is still the highest in the peeking order. He is still...
