    Injured duckling Bill/Infection

    Yesterday TSC gave me two baby ducks. One has a hole on the tip of its bill and the tissue around the hole is really soft. I’m trying to figure out what I can put on it to help it heal. I have antibiotic ointment, silver honey, A&D and vetericyn spray. It’s on the tip of its bill so whatever I...

    Calculating dosage of Safeguard (Fenbendazole) pellets for flocks

    I have a mixed flock of 50 chickens (chicks, sm. bantams, batams, lg. breeds and 5 ducks) they have tested positive for round worms and all the Vet told me was to get safeguard and ask the people at tractor supply how to do it. The people at tractor supply had no idea what to do. Just give them...

    Mereks? What do I do?

    I’m sorry I’m just now getting back to this post. It’s been a busy last couple of weeks. To date I have lost about 35 birds. And here lately, it seems to only be one every week and a half. So it’s definitely slowed down because I was losing one to two birds a day at the beginning. That’s when I...

    Mereks? What do I do?

    I only have chickens and ducks as livestock. I have cats, dogs, fish and bearded dragons. I don’t think these other animals are making them sick. My original came from a lady. They were adult birds and then I’ve got four adult silkies from a friend. The rest I either hatched here or bought...

    Mereks? What do I do?

    None of them are vaccinated that I know of. I originally got six adult birds from a lady and then I got four adult silkies from a friend. Those are the only chickens that I have had that weren’t hatched here or didn’t come from a breeder or tractor supply. There is only a handful that came from...

    Mereks? What do I do?

    I think my flock has mereks. I’ve lost a 30 birds since May I had a necropsy done at the beginning and they said it was coccidia. So I went to the vet and they suggested amprolium, but my birds kept dying. My vet said to keep them on the maintenance dose for the rest of the summer. Now I’m...

    COCCIDIA!!! Lost 30 birds!!

    I’m going to contact the vet first thing Monday morning and tell them all of this. And then get their advice and I will try to see if I can find another vet to get a second opinion.

    COCCIDIA!!! Lost 30 birds!!

    The only thing is they haven’t had any bright green poop. Their poop looks like coccidia poop and not all of them are like that. When I first started losing birds there was a lot of cocci droppings, but now they’re dropping are back to normal. I have only lost three birds in the last 3 weeks. I...
