    Hen dead after cured of sour crop

    Thanks for the info. Valbazen sounds like the right one to use. I did read about killing too many worms at once and it creating a blockage...that's not a problem with Valbazen? Also, I see the poop everyday and have only seen normal round poop with white on top except for recently with my...

    Hen dead after being cured of sour crop

    Hubby carried her off, then I thought to do it myself, but by time I got her back there wasn't enough daylight (not doing that inside house), and she was already beginning to have an odor, and also knew he wouldn't allow her to go to frig/freezer, so gave up on that idea. Hoped the experienced...

    Hen dead after cured of sour crop

    For maintenance they were all wormed and treated for coccidiosis when I first noticed her runny stools. Then I isolated her and began her individual treatment in house (2.5 weeks). All other hens have full crops at night and empty in morning (nice piles of poo on coop floor) but not for her...

    Hen dead after cured of sour crop

    Thank you for all the replys. She didn't seem to have any breathing problems, she could have had something else internal, and her poop had not returned to normal yet. I'm thinking she was not strong enough to have stayed outside full time, but I thought she would follow the others and start...

    Thanks for the link! I tried to post to it earlier, but I'm still not too good at navigating around yet. But I managed this time : )

    Hen dead after being cured of sour crop

    My Ameracauna hen Cinnabon had runny poop, so I brought her inside. I read all posts on possibilities (she had almost all symptoms of vent gleet) and began treatments for that. She only wanted mealworms, could not get her to eat anything else. 3 days later she stopped eating or drinking. I began...

    I learned a heartbreaking lesson...my Ameraucana (the best layer of my 4 chickens) has had oily black feathers all around vent since I got her a month ago. Antibiotic did not work 1 week ago, so after researching thought it more likely vent gleet. Treated with Epsom salt solution and syringe...

    Murder on Music Row

    So sorry for your loss! Because our coop was not built exactly as specified, we have been working on it each weekend. Today (95 degrees in TX): Tires were too small, installed larger ones, lifting and exposing poorly built floor (4x4 cattle panel), so we covered that with the 1/2" x 1/2" hard...

    Automatic LOCKING pop door (added a light switch)

    This is what I would like. But no electricity in coop. Need a battery set up... Going to attempt the manual self locking for now and hopefully will figure out how to rig the add a motor to a battery and timer before winter

    Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome! I'm trying to research a manual self locking pop door, or less expensive auto door. Right now just locking run door... Coop didn't come with pop door

    Yes, I have 4, all different breeds and named them accordingly . Ruby (RIR), Buffy the Bug Slayer (Orpington), Wynnie (Gold Laced Wyandotte), and Merri (Ameraucana). Looking for a Cuckoo Moran and at most 1 more. Had them for 3 wks now...
