    HELP!

    Yes, we have two very good vet clinics that treat exotics and chickens. I really think the pain medication helped her a lot to. She was so listless and I know she had to have really hurt. Hopefully we stay on the road to recovery.

    HELP!

    We did go to the vet today and he was leaning on the side of a severe sinus infection. His main concern was with how malnourished she had become. So he gave her an antibiotic shot and sent me home with an antibiotic, a pain reliever and eye drops. You literally would not believe what an...

    HELP!

    Thanks! I feel really bad I didn’t notice the mites sooner but they were all just treated with Exzolt a month ago. Which I shouldn’t have to treat again with but every few months. Mites are literally just the bane of my existence. I’ve tried everything. They always come back. They are worse...

    HELP!

    What is this? Just discovered. I have quite a few chickens so unfortunately I didn’t notice what was going on with this girl until I saw her standing off by herself. She also had a few mites which I have treated her for. Both eyes are shut. With the one side obviously completely swollen. I feel...

    What is this? Vent Gleet?

    Sorry for the nasty pictures but I’ve had 3 Roos in the past that have developed this issue. It’s not a prolapse but a very swollen anal area with a slightly calcified area below it and it smells pretty bad. It’s so red right now because I brought him in to wash all the poop that had been...

    3 day old chick sitting on hocks

    Thanks! I did do the chick chair and I wrapped both of his legs with double vet wrap to make little stints to keep his legs straight. Will keep it in that for a few days and hopefully it will solve the problem. The other 6 that hatched are perfectly fine. It seems like every time I do a hatch...

    3 day old chick sitting on hocks

    I have a 3 day old Polish chick that I first thought had splayed legs so braced. But it just keeps sitting on its hocks. Any other time I’ve had a baby with splayed legs, after bracing the usually show marked improvement. This one is not. I just started dipping its beak in some poultry cell and...

    Interesting reply from the makers of Elector PSP

    Well it seems like quite a few people use it with no ill effects. I know I’ve been using it for about 3 years and have never had a problem. And it’s not a chemical so I feel much better using that than ivermectin or other chemicals. And I did have a chicken once that almost died from me using...

    Interesting reply from the makers of Elector PSP

    Sometimes it seems as if mites are really attracted to a certain chicken and really infests them. When that happens, I will just fill my laundry sink with water and Elector and just dip them so I can make sure to cover every inch of them as the freaking mites are just all over their body. So I...

    Rooster has poop clogging vent

    I have had a ongoing problem with mostly roosters in that they seem to get a adult version of pasty butt. Their poop hardens and clogs their vents. I had two little D’uccle roosters die last year. And I currently have 3 more roosters that I have to constantly monitor and bathe to remove the poop...

    Need insight on anyone that has experienced Blackhead

    Thanks! Have read everything I can but haven’t seen anything stating they pass as fast as she did. That’s why I’m looking for anyone that has experienced a turkey die of Blackhead.

    Raw Apple Cider for mites?

    Has anyone ever sprayed Raw Apple Cider directly on chickens that have mites. I tried it for the first time and it actually seems to kill them! I sprayed directly on the mites.

    Help, Can’t get rid of mites off of Rooster

    He is doing soooo much better today. Eating and drinking on his own. He is ACTUALLY taking a dust bath which delights me! Upon inspection this morning, did not see mites on him but there were some dead ones in the tub. I will keep him in for probably about 3 more days as I will spray him with...
