    Pecking injury

    Thank you! The oil gland does appear to be in tact because the missing chunk is on the side and the top of her tail area thankfully is still there. It looks a little yucky but I do think it’s blood from the surrounding area and the tissue is not pecked on the gland. I will put the ointment on...

    Pecking injury

    A tail feather must have been broken or pulled that started to bleed and unfortunately the others noticed the blood. She isn’t in shock which is a good sign. I found her pretty quickly I think, the injury appeared very fresh. I observed her and noticed her walking around and preening a bit. I...

    Eggs pipping in wrong spot and dry membranes

    Help! My eggs are pipping in the wrong end, from what I understand they can still successfully hatch but it can go either way. I’m worried about the membranes looking too dry though for hatch day 20, no hatches yet but 6 or so external pips and all 4 of my pipped silkie eggs pipped in the wrong...

    Foamy poop Normal or coccidiosis

    I’m not sure which chicken the dropping came from. There are 23 pullets and 2 roosters, all were hatched between July and October 2024, all appear to be laying besides 2 ameraucanas hatched 10-7-24 that still have pale / immature combs. Everyone appears to be acting normal / eating / drinking...

    Foamy poop Normal or coccidiosis

    Is this foamy poop normal or indicate coccidiosis? My dad says he sees these often but it is the first I’m noticing. It doesn’t look like cecal poop or diarrhea because it’s firm but the foamy-ness is concerning to me. I lost 3 chickens in the last year and the necropsies were all clear, and...

    Poop pic after worming

    I did not take a pic of the poop because I was more focused on showing the vet (she pooped on the floor in his exam room several times), I wish I did take the pic!! My other flock at my dads property had a foamy poop but they are already on day 4 of Corid as a preventative treatment, because I...

    Poop pic after worming

    She is between 1 1/2 and 2, I don’t know her hatch date and bought her as a laying pullet that was almost hen age. She was done growing. No trouble walking, just choosing to rest a lot but also is in a hen hospital / brooder to recover! She was walking back and forth and clucking obnoxiously...

    Poop pic after worming

    My poor lavender Orpington hen Iris was/is in rough shape. I caught it somewhat early I guess because she hasn’t stopped eating or drinking but she lost a lot of feathers and stopped laying and had horrible diarrhea with some blood in it, minor Ascites and super red bald belly. I took her to the...

    Ameraucana pullet puffed up empty crop abnormal poop

    She died within 5 minutes of this.. if I went past her trachea with the syringe, could I still have caused her death? Did I give her too many syringes and then she aspirated when it came back up?

    Ameraucana pullet puffed up empty crop abnormal poop

    Thank you I will! I hope she makes it until Tuesday. She has been standing up now and then but still puffed and no eating or drinking. I’ve been syringe feeding her corid water, and I also just syringe fed her some egg yolk. I went past her trachea so I know she didn’t aspirate.. a little water...

    Ameraucana pullet puffed up empty crop abnormal poop

    I started corid and Valbazen tonight. She is only 2 lbs 10 oz so definitely a bantam I think?

I do not have amoxicillin, only ivermectin Valbazen corid rooster booster nutri-drench and elector psp on hand — no...
