Thank you! That’s a start!

Hello everyone, I have a hen who became lethargic, not eating, and had bright green poop. I purchased Baytril, 10% oral. I found a thread on BYC that suggested .4ml for her 4.4 lb weight, once a day, for 5 days. She got her 5th dose today, with much success! However, she is still not 100%...

I will give her the mixture tonight. Should I still do the valbazen sometime in the future?

Hi, I wormed my 4 hens with wazine, then 10 days later with zimetrin gold. The one that was a bit sickly to begin with started acting like herself again after the treatment. Then a few days later, acted a bit sickly again, walking around slowly, not interested much in treats or food. Is it...

Hi, I wormed all my hens with Wazine, waited 10 days and wormed again with Zimectrin Gold. After 2 or 3 days, the one that was not feeling right, was back to her old self. Then about 4 days after that, she is back to acting sickly again, not walking around much, not interested in treats or...

Thank you for the replies. It was very hard to understand at the time exactly what had happened. But now it makes sense hearing an explanation from someone. I have had small flocks throughout the last 15 years and nothing like this has ever happened. Now we have closure. Thanks so much.

We are devistated. My daughter just picked her up- something we do all the time- and Miss Delly suddenly dropped her head down and her eyes closed and then started flapping violently. She put her on the ground and Miss Delly fell to her side and died. All in a matter of 30 seconds. We are...

Hi, I wormed my 3 year old hens 10 days ago with Wazine. I know I should reworm now, but cant find the info I need in BYC. I have horse Fenbendazole paste and Zimectrin Gold paste on hand. Which one should I use and how much? Pea size? How to administer- syringe? or will they eat it out of...

Unfortunately I am at work all day so cant take a pic, but I called my daughter and she said there is yellow poop on her butt and her comb is flat on one side and a little purple.

Yes, after 10 days I was going to use another wormer. I have zimectrin gold at home and safeguard. But can I help her now? I am giving cidar vinegar and water and yogurt. Tx.

I wormed my 6 chickens with Wazine on Thursday in a community water bucket. My RI Red started to get sick 2 days later. Yesterday she was slow to move and not looking well, but eating out in the yard. I thought it was from the wormer, so gave it a day to see if she got better. Today she is not...

The surgery went well, or so I thought. I cleaned, applied neosporin, and wrapped daily. It has become a little red and warm the last 3 days. She is not limping. The pad is soft. The surgery site is closed, but maybe some dirt got in?? Not sure what to do next. Should I get an antibiotic...

The syrgery went well, I thought. I have been cleaning, neosporin, and wrapping daily. It has been a little warm and red the last 3 days. The surgery site is closed, but maybe dirt got in it? Should I get an antibiotic, say penicillan, or soak it in E salts, or use Tricide neo? (Dont have a...

For all of you who have a little anxiety to preform their first Bumblefoot surgery, it is really not that bad. I was a wreck, thinking of all the things that could go wrong, but honestly, I can say it was a piece of cake. The plug was big and long and ugly, but Charlotte was a good patient. It...

Thanks very much! You are a big help!
