    RIR Hen with Broken leg/ dislocated hip

    No problem alohamoa :) If it were me, I'd keep her in the crate outside unless it's under like 40 degrees at night, the cold could slow her healing. You're right, having her other chicky-friends will help soothe her and keep her mind off it :) Just as long as she's safe, like no dogs or...

    RIR Hen with Broken leg/ dislocated hip

    Poor girl :( Sounds like you're doing the right thing, separating her and splinting her up. If it were me, I'd start her on a course of antibiotics or apple cider vinegar (natural antibiotic) to help prevent any internal infections from the stress and/or unseen injuries. I've never dealt with...

    What do I do???

    Well thank you for everyone's help, I checked on it this morning and it had passed away during the night :/ Not sure what happened, I think it was just too shocked or over-handled. Kind of a bummer, I was hoping it would work out! Thanks anyway guys :/

    What do I do???

    Haha you guys are funny :) Lol yep a bar!! She kept trying to put it up in nests on branches too - smh :/ I told her quail set nests on the ground under large brush. We have a lot of them around here, but she's not a bird person for sure haha, which is why she brought it to me, even though...

    What do I do???

    So a lady customer just brought me a single quail chick, she said it walked into the bar she was at and when they tried to let it go there were no other quail around and it just kept coming back into the bar. I'm all set up with a brooder for it, but I know poultry are flock animals, does this...

    Peacock with CRD

    Ok thank you Arbor, I'll do that. Should I wait until the tetracycline is done?

    Peacock with CRD

    I have a 2 year old peacock who is showing signs of CRD - he has the classic foamy eyes and swollen sinuses with sneezing and mild coughing. He still gets around well, eats and drinks, no lethargy or anything, poos look fine. I've medicated him (as well as my entire flock) with tetracycline...

    All chickens skinny help!

    Oh yeah, I know I got lucky. I had bought a bottle of Denegard online just in case, but never ended up having to use it. I was very fortunate my girl got better so fast. I know blackhead is a serious disease for turkeys and most die, I really wasn't counting on her getting better After she...

    Feed stores usually carry it, look for "recleaned" wheat or barley seed. There are only 2 feed stores I know of in my general vicinity who don't carry either. I also grow fodder for my animals, everyone gets it - chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and goats.

    I understand where you're coming from. Despite my own personal preferences for my flock, I accept that not everyone will want to do it the same with theirs. We do carry multiple commercial products, from Fishzole and FishCillin to pen G, Tylan injectable and dissolveable to tetracycline and...

    Here's where dawg53 posted the dosage for Safeguard GOAT WORMER (Michael Apple) (and yes, we're talking about chickens, so why did you initially talk about worms in yourself): https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/423896/de-worming-chickens-with-goat-safeguard-fenbendazole I wormed my chickens...

    All chickens skinny help!

    Okay, my bad, "Fendbendazole" is quite easy to pronounce. The label says 10% Fendbendazole as its ingredients - but what about the rest of the ingredients? Here's a link for the Safeguard goat wormer (also used as a chicken wormer) on Amazon, which shows that you're not supposed to slaughter...

    All chickens skinny help!

    I'm looking forward to being proven wrong then if that's the case. It's worked like a charm for me. I used to use commercial products (Wazine, Safeguard, Strike III). I'd go through the dosages and suggested timeframes at which to repeat, but I found myself worming them almost every month. In my...
