    Help!! Prolapse vent? Or egg

    Thank you once more. Would you recommend placing her in the dark for say 3 days to prevent her from laying for a while. The vent didn’t look prolapsed but I’ll take the advice on board. I’ll buy some oyster shell and calcium tablets. How would I feed her the tablet?

    Chicken medications and treatments

    Hi I was wondering what kind of chicken medications, treatments and preventative measures you can buy to keep your chickens well. And if someone could explain the effectiveness of the medication and what it’s used for that would be great!

    Chicken eye problem

    That’s so nice of you But I think she has recovered really well! I do have svalon but thankfully her eyes weren’t too bad at all. It was just the infection and pus initially which was the worst bit, but that’s all cleared up
