    Silkie gurgling - any ideas?

    Update: I have been giving her 3ml of nystatin daily for the past 6 days, and now the gurgling sound has gone away :) She's looking so much better. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Silkie gurgling - any ideas?

    Hello everyone, Last night my silkie started gurgling, and I'm not sure what's wrong. I will take her to the vets but unfortunately the vet is shut for the next few days because of the public holidays and she is unlikely to get an appointment before Thursday/Friday. Sorry for the terrible...

    Chicken with swollen eye

    Her eye is nearly back to normal now. I'll keep a close eye on her for the next few weeks in case any other symptoms pop up. Thank you so much for your help :D

    Chicken with swollen eye

    I tried the saline last night which helped reduce the swelling. This morning it was swollen again so I used the saline. This is what she looks like at the moment. It does look like there's a small scratch on the top right of her eye? Still eating and drinking as normal :)

    Chicken with swollen eye

    Thank you so much for your reply! It is possible she was pecked, due to her size she's at the bottom of the pecking order :( If it is a scrape, should I treat it any further? Do you mean grey around her eye? If so, yes she does. Here's a photo from last year if that helps. I did notice last...

    Chicken with swollen eye

    Hello everyone, My chicken has developed a swollen eye. It was bubbly yesterday but today it has become swollen shut. She is at least 3 years old but she is adopted so not sure of her real age. She is having trouble moving around because she can't see out of the eye, but apart from that she is...

    Chicken making weird head movements

    Hello everyone! I recently got two pekin bantams (2 years old) off a lady. They were fine the first day, and I didn't notice anything unusual when I picked them up. Then they started sneezing, I thought this was because their new home was a lot dustier than their previous one. They were...

    Is this a Pekin?

    EDIT: Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum (forgive me, I'm new). Hi everyone, Would anyone be able to tell me what breed of chicken this is? I'm looking at buying a Pekin and a potential seller sent me this photo. It doesn't look quite like the photos of Pekins I've seen before. Thanks...

    Chicken with huge, wobbly crop

    I haven't noticed significant change in her body size and she still has some fat on her (but she's always been tiny!). I use straw bedding. She pooped this morning and it was separated with black stringy bits (here's a picture if you want to see http://prntscr.com/eho8t4 ). Is it possible the...

    Chicken with huge, wobbly crop

    Hi Barbara, thanks so much for your reply. I massaged her and put her in isolation. Her crop was soft and pliable but I didn't notice any foul breath. However when I was massaging her crop, there was a gurgling sound.

    Chicken with huge, wobbly crop

    Hi everyone, My 1.5 year old silkie has a huge, wobbly crop. She is having trouble walking (her crop swings as she walks) and is hunched over. She hasn't been eating/drinking much either (though she doesn't eat/drink much when she's healthy either). There's no feathers on her crop. All of her...
