    Internal parasites? best treatment?

    Update on my little bantam: I did give ger the SafeGuard liquid goat dewormer for 6 days after my last post and her droppings started coming out more solid after that. Ever since then she's been slowly gaining her weight back and not as weak as she used to be! I still bring her inside to sleep...

    What did my chicken poop?

    I thought there was a thread section dedicated to identifying the kinds of chicken poop 😅 My bantam just pooped this yellow thing that has what appears to be like the inner lining of stomach maybe? I know they shed their intestinal lining, but what about stomach? is this a normal dropping? She...

    Internal parasites? best treatment?

    Old age can cause a hen to become very underweight/thin despite eating a lot? what about her poop seemingly like nothing? where is all that food going? I don't feel any lumps or build up around her vent/underneath that could indicate something is blocking her from passing anything through.

    Internal parasites? best treatment?

    I've had her for 13 years, but she might be 14 years old because she was already an adult when she was given to me. She stopped laying eggs many years ago, she didn't lay very much to begin with as she doesn't seem like an egg-laying breed (some sort of red-breasted old english game mix). She's...

    Internal parasites? best treatment?

    Hello, I have a bantam that I suspect has some sort of internal parasite that is causing her to lose weight and eating all her nutrition up. At first I thought it was just an impacted crop problem because she felt light when I first picked her up yet her crop was full, it did not empty the first...

    Are heavier chicken breeds more prone to heart attacks?

    I know it's more common in commerical broiler breeds that are bred to grow big in such a short amount of time, but what about other big chicken breeds like brahmas? My light brahma hen, who was 4 years old, suddenly died and I don't exactly know what caused her death so quickly, she was acting...

    Helping a chicken's wound/scab heal??

    It's been weeks now and it finally seems like whatever was stuck in her crop has passed through! I can't really feel it anymore and her crop has been emptying throughout the nights like normal... no idea if she's resumed laying eggs or not, but she still seems good 🥰 I'm amazed at her recovery...

    Helping a chicken's wound/scab heal??

    Thank you for the response, I didn't know they could take the pill whole, this makes giving it to her a lot easier than squeezing the gel out! You're right about the regular chicken feed though, I'll try to make it the same wet consistency as the other food so it passes through as easily. But...

    Helping a chicken's wound/scab heal??

    An update on my two girls; they're doing good still, however one is still dealing with slow, or I should rather say now, an impacted crop. When I had her in the separate enclosure outside there's been a few times where she has escaped and foraged around like normal, her crop felt really big but...

    Helping a chicken's wound/scab heal??

    Vet just told me to keep the chickens inside to prevent flies n maggots from getting to the wounds, also from other chickens picking at it and to discourage themselves from it as well. The one with staples didn't pay much mind to them, the other I temporarily had a tank top cover her areas. I...

    Helping a chicken's wound/scab heal??

    I've put a bit of Neosporin on it and a warm damp cloth over that whole area to also prevent her from picking at it. One hen's poop is getting bigger/more solid so I assume massage crop treatment is slowly working for her. I fed both of them some yogurt, the one who's still dropping watery poop...

    Helping a chicken's wound/scab heal??

    Just a couple of days ago two of my pet hens got seriously injured by the neighbors dog that trespassed into our backyard, the birds had to be rushed to the vet. One of my birds got surgery along with sutures(her intestine was literally hanging out), the other got stables to close the deep bite...

    Bumblefoot HELP PLS

    Thank you! The vet's main concern was her not to get the wrap/bandage soiled, dirty, wet, etc. I'm getting gauze and wraps right now, but I am confused about antibacterial vs antiseptic vs antibiotics etc.... are they all the same? I've mostly found the last two, would either be okay to put on...

    Bumblefoot HELP PLS

    Took her back this Monday to the vet for them to check up on her foot, unfortunately I didn't get to see how her wound was healing, but they said it's healing beautifully and they changed her wrap with her toes more free. My only concerns now is that she's become an EXTREMELY picky eater to the...
