    Are there over the counter antibiotics available for chickens?

    That’s amazing. You did surgery at home! I don’t know if I could do that a/out some gags lol. However, I suppose real sutures would’ve been best but I’m guessing you couldn’t use that on the interior incision on the crop unless they were dissolvable sutures. Is it safe and OK to use the vet glue...

    Labored Breathing and green poop

    I attached a couple images above and a video below in the comments :) let me know what u think. I’m thinking Avian Canker. An no she won’t eat/drink on her own. I’ve been syringe feeding wet food and egg and water very carefully so I don’t aspirate her.

    Labored Breathing and green poop

    So I have a hen that is five months old And I recently noticed her open mouth breathing. I separated her immediately and she is now very labored breathing shaking head often and doing a weird gasp occasionally. The only other thing I’ve noted is that her poop is very bright green. No diarrhea...

    HELP!!! Gasping Chicken with Foamy Mouth

    I suddenly noticed my teenage bantam gasping with vomit looking foam coming from her mouth. She’s now rocking back a fourth open mouth breathing. She was healthy yesterday. It’s summer. No one else appears to have issues. I’m thinking she’s got a large food pellet lodged in her throat… should I...

    Cockerel?

    They do have a rounded appearance but that neck and tail feathers are undeniably rooster. Idk tho it can be difficult to tell with some breeds.

    Dying chickens no symptoms

    Darn. Well then it could be Mericks or another that spreads… is her flock vaccinated? I bet the community college could use a blood sample to test and check… less expensive then a vet perhaps 🤔

    10% Iodine for Favus

    It looks like it is povidone iodine. I attached an image of the product. I don’t have a good pic of their combs. They’re 3 that might have it. Can be hard to tell since they’re dry comb skin looks a little flakey white anyway. But the very top tip of their combs are white/chalkier then any of...

    Dying chickens no symptoms

    Perhaps they are eating each other‘s eggs that may be rancid? A hidden nest? That could make them sick… I’m sorry tho. 😢

    10% Iodine for Favus

    Hello, I think I have a couple chickens with favus. One was positively diagnosed by a vet months ago. I’ve tried miconizole, but I couldn’t keep up with twice a day every day. I have a 10% iodine I could use, but I know that’s a higher percentage than recommended. Do you think I could still use...

    Hatching Bantams; Increase Humidity Sooner?

    Hello, I am hatching my first pure breed silkies. I’ve hatched standard crossed with silkies in the past, but never purebred. In the past, my chicks have hatched on day 18 or 19 and I’ve heard since the eggs are smaller. It takes even less time for them to fully develop and hatch. I am wondering...

    White Growth on Comb

    thank you so much that first image definitely looks similar to what’s going on. It may not be the underlying problem, but I will definitely try to get my hands on that antifungal and give it a wash with soap and water. I will for sure be wearing gloves lol. 🤢 🦠
