Thanks so much for your help! Thanks so much for your help :-) they are still drinking from the small quart size waters so I’ll put 1/2 tsp in for a week. Now they are getting so big and I want to move them outside (obviously separate from the older hens) but I know that might be stressful. Do...

Hi again! I have 4 5week old chicks and just discovered some bloody poop. This may sound dumb but I wanted to treat it naturally #1 so they could build up immunity and #2 I didn’t think our state sold corid. The chicks are all acting fine look great and the poop has improved but I asked farm...

Ok not sure about hens ears… is this the opening? I tried to clean the scab off but it’s pretty firmly on there… didn’t want to continue if it wasn’t even the ear hole 😬 After inspecting the scab in the back of her neck it’s a pretty large bump/tumor (?) type thing underneath the skin ….

Hi I have a complicated hen that has a leg disease of some kind but has managed to live a relatively good/normal life … roosting, eating, walking around with her flock. Anyhoo I noticed her acting off and also noticed these lumps on her head. I can’t find any more in her body. Does this look...

She’s definitely not hot. It’s a cool day here and she’s just gasping for breath. Breathing very heavy. She’s been eating all flock the last month or so. She’s not eating anymore and her crop is empty. Never been wormed

When I noticed her feet I put Vaseline on them and then put a tiny spray of poultry mite spray under her wings back of neck and on vent area…. Do you think that could be messing with her breathing?

I don’t think so… she may have eaten a green toMateo…?

I’m less worried about her feet at this point. She is just gasping and really doing poorly. I’ve put vetrx on her head and beak I just don’t know what else to do for her. She’s not eating anymore and her crop is empty

Ok I’ll take pictures tomorrow. Her feet are stained blue now probably should have done the pics first. I don’t really give treats except for boss in the evening to get them back in the coop. They are on All flock… I have some laying hens that just started laying and just switched them all over...

Hi! So I have a chicken with some strange symptoms. Started off noticing she was a little withdrawn. She’s my most curious friendly chicken. Then noticed she was preoccupied with her feet. Biting at them and holding one up, then the other. So I thought mites. Looked at her feet they seemed ok...

No improvement yet on my girl… I’ve started to put a scoop of yogurt in her food and she seems to like it and I figured the extra calcium would be good. I’m mixing her food with nutra-drench, yogurt, calcium powder that also has D3, oyster shell and water. She is so very bow legged but still...

Yes for sure blocking the area will help. They are going to be mad as hec but should get over it in a few days.

Wow I had no idea....

Ok thanks for that. I was a little conflicted. She’s not laying but with a obvious problem I feel like it’s the right thing to do. I’ll give it for 2 weeks and see if there’s improvement
