    Broken Beak, Splitting Down The Middle

    She seems to be doing fine, she ran right back in after the patches dried and started scratching around with the others.

    Okay I've got the beak patches put on in the right spot I think and the entire flock is eating wet food now. I'm out of extra kennels at the moment and the other birds haven't been bothering her so she should be fine (in fact, she's kind of a bully sometimes so they don't mess with her much)...

    I'll try that and see how it goes.

    Thank you, I'll get her started on wet food. I should have a pair of those clippers somewhere.

    Broken Beak, Splitting Down The Middle

    So at some point my hen cracked her beak on something causing it to split in the middle. Her beak was really long (which is weird because she's really active and scratches a lot which should grind it down to a normal length) so I trimmed it slightly and filed a little on the rough edges so it...

    Snotty Sounding Roosters

    I can't remember stuff to save my life. Sorry this took so long. We gave him the tylosin for a week. Then gave him the probiotics. I put him back in with the others and there was no fuss. He just gave the other rooster a stern look and he backed off. He's been happily leading the ladies around...

    He's not snotty anymore but sounds raspy when he breaths. Is acting fine. Would he be okay to move back with the other chickens?

    Ah okay, what's one you'd recommend. Also would yogurt work until we order one?

    His crop drained out naturally right before we were going to treat it earlier this week and he no longer smells bad. He's been pooping fine so everything must have passed through fine. He's been getting the tylosin and the foam in his throat has decreased a little. Still sounds a little snotty.

    Thank you. We ordered the Tylosin last night. The rest of the stuff we'll get at Walmart for him. I think the crop might have an impaction since the last few days I've checked it it's been the same fullness and feels like there's food or something in it so I'll treat him for that.

    Thank you! Can you buy Tylosin at TSC? If not I can probably order some online. In the event they need the docusate sodium stuff what is the dosage for it?

    I'm sorry I forgot to write this morning before work. But his breath does still smell bad.
