Hi everyone, Today I noticed that my English Orpington hen appears to have a purple/blue (looks bruised in color) sack/growth like thing on her bottom, just below her vent. It is very soft and squishy, about the size of a hacky sack. Being English, she is very big and heavy, low to the ground...

Thankyou Jim for all your advice I really appreciate it. No more bubbles in her eye, which is good. Just a bit sore. Went to the Vet this afternoon and he gave us Oral antibiotic "Orbax" so hopefully that will help Cloud. We went to every feed store in town and no one had polyvisol or tylosin...

Does your girl have the small soap bubbles in her eye? Yes I hope so too. Hopefully I will get some more of my questions answered on this post. Good luck to you too!

Thankyou for the reply. We are heading to town first thing this morning to get Tylosin and Polyvisol from our feed store. "Cloud" is isolated in our barn right now. So if she recovers she will remain a carrier? Can I still introduce new chicks or will they become infected? Should I give the...

Hi everyone, This morning I noticed that one of my splash pullets has a bubbly/foamy eye. She is 5 months. It is only in ONE eye. Around the infected eye looks kinda black, with small bubbles in the corner of the eye. I have noticed her lightly sneezing a lot before I noticed this. I don't...

Hi everyone, I thought both these fluffies were pullets..... but you can never be sure.... they are about 6 months in these photo's.

Oh they act perfect. Eating alot, drinking, pooping and running around when they aren't napping. I've been trying not to handle them to much.... (I don't want to stress them out they are still so little) but when I watch them I don't see any watery nostrils etc. Just sneezing. I am using...

Hi everyone, Yesterday I brought home 6 baby chicks.....all just under 2 weeks old. I brought them home and they are now in a nice sized water trough (in my garage), with a red 250 watt heat lamp on one side and fresh pine shavings for bedding. This morning Iv'e noticed that they are...

Where do I purchase Oxine???

You are known as" "the girl who is obsessed with chickens" You NEVER forget to give the girls their treats, but forget to feed yourself. You hike up a steep hill because their is fresh grass the girls would love at the top. When you see a pile of dirt on the side of the road you...

Alright, just wanted to double check.

Dawg53 why did you give my a completely different answer on Coryza? In this post, you stated that premises should be vacant 30-60 days?!? And that Coryza requires rigorous clean up of everything. On my post, you said sunlight would take care of my infected yard, and that I could lightly mist my...

Okie dokie, I plan on removing all the pens, feeders, waterers, and all the stuff that was over in the section of the garage where they were... cleaning with soap and water, and disinfecting with clorox. Not to mantion the walls and floors also. As far as the yard.... I will hope the...

Thanks dawg53, Any other opinions? Please I really need help!

Hi everyone, Recently I have had 2 new birds come down with Coryza. Luckily they were still in quarantine in the garage (a 40+ day one I might add) So I don't think my main flock has it. This morning I found one of them (my baby) dead, the other one hasn't fallen quite as ill yet. Here's...
