    Strange egg? Cyst?

    That's very unfortunate... most antibiotics have gone to prescription only, but you can always check and see if there's anything you can order online in your state. Otherwise the kindest thing to do might be to help her cross the road. :[

    Strange egg? Cyst?

    It sounds like she has lash egg, basically an infection of the reproductive system... the diagnosis isn't usually great. Sometimes you can treat with antibiotics like Tetracycline or Amoxicillin. Good resources for understanding what it is...

    First "maybe" issue.

    Pretty sure you've already found your answer on the other post. ^^ But your chicken should be just fine.

    How to regulate egg laying

    If it gets too hot in the summer egg production will drop in response to heat stress. Some folks have set up misting stations, cooling fans, etc to help with the temperature in the run/coop.

    Blu Kote

    I wouldn't recommend Blue-Kote, but your chicken will be fine. According to the government of Canada the main ingredient gentian violet is carcinogen. The issue is not necessarily with the animals you use it on, but prolonged exposure to yourself seems to be a bigger concern. Wear gloves if...

    Eye color. Acting sick.

    @Eggcessive @azygous Did you check for mites or lice? What's the temperature where you're at? Sometimes a pale comb can be caused by temperature swings like heatstroke or frostbite, parasites, or anemia... It probably wouldn't hurt to try and give it some electrolytes.

    Eye color. Acting sick.

    Are both eyes red? It looks more like the normal pupil color, I can't really see inflammation around the "whites". The comb color is concerning. Is she having any breathing issues? Is her skin underneath her feathers warm?

    Terrible Case of bumblefoot. Time for the vet?

    @Eggcessive since I'm not likely to be much help here... What kind of antibiotics did you give? Is this picture after you attempted treatment or before? It looks like there is still a lot of infection in the foot.

    please help me

    I've been there and I'm sure many of us have, where it can feel like everything is just falling apart. It does get better though. If xxYO me could have seen where I am today, she'd be shocked, rocked, and over the hills with joy. I love your pizza shirt and your little chicken there. Do you...

    What made you happy today?

    The Shires Velociti Leather Cinch and Shires ARMA Western Cinch collection. The catalog just came out so I'm not sure when they'll be available for sale in stores but I'm super thrilled to see them on paper! I only got to consult on the initial concept of it, but they took a lot of my...

    A small collection of products I helped consult on made it into production and are now in a catalog for hundreds of stores to order internationally.

    Coryza chicken

    Erythromycin, oxytetracycline, or sulfadimethoxine are the main treatments used for coryza that I know of... but it is a disease that tends to return in severe cases which it sounds like yours might, so even if you get it this time it could come back sooner rather than later. Gonna tag...
