    No illness or emergency... just preparing

    Let me preface this by saying I tried searching for key words before posting and didn't get very far. Has anyone been able to find veterinary medications... antibiotics, meloxicam, banamine etc from 'international pharmacy sources'... like in countries other than the US...that do not require a...

    Fowl pox? See pics

    It had briefly crossed my mind that this could be canker x wet pox simultaneously .... and immediately thought -- how could she get so unlucky? And then got hung up on what huge fowl pox scab. I need to regroup, I think. I have a couple of different -zoles... the Metronidazole and...

    Fowl pox? See pics

    No wild birds... they are contained in a coop w enclosed run. We are in FL and there are a ton of wild birds... so I could have tracked something in.... but I go through a coop/run to get into this one, so I would be tracking all over the place, including other runs. I warm compressed the...

    Upper beak trim?

    Thank you for posting this question. I am in the same position and hit the search bar before asking. I'm a little nervous. Decades ago now, my husband told me this horrible story of a childhood beak trimming incident which has since put me around the bend every time I think about it. 😑 I...

    I hope all those come through. They were like a box of chocolates. All different. The 2 brown girls are the most similar in appearance. They all lay green eggs.
