    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    The vet said it was ok to combine. I've been keeping her in the house for a few days, but I let her out yesterday. First thing she did was eat a worm! I was so relieved because I was very worried that she wasn't eating in the dog crate. All she was getting was whatever I syringed into her...

    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    Well, I don't think it's cocci anymore since she passed that blob and you told me about salpingitis. I read that salpingitis is most commonly bacterial and that e. Coli is the usual suspect. I asked my vet and he recommended it. Does she not need the doxy if it's not cocci? I'm just kinda...

    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    Thank you for asking. She's still with us. But she's still standing and not sitting. I guess she's sore? I'm giving her 100 mg of doxycycline twice a day and I just got my hands on some sulfamethoxazole, trying to figure out the dose now. She passed some white stuff, not sure what it is?

    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    She started vocalizing tonight - I thought she might be feeling better so I tried to feed her some scrambled egg. She did take a little of it but while I was watching her I realized she was straining, if you KWIM, (hence the vocalizing, I guess), and when I checked her vent I realized she was...

    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    I should have mentioned it's 20% corid, so it sounds like I made it way too strong. I gave it to everybody this morning including 21 pullets. Sigh. I guess I need to dump and remix? Other than the 20ml of oats that I gave her today I don't think she's eaten in at least 2 days. Am I likely to...

    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    I'm using my phone, I don't see an option to " start a new thread ". She is 5 years old (I inherited them last fall, my first time owning chickens), maybe weighs 5lbs, Barred Rock, I feed them organic layer feed very occasionally give scratch as a treat, they are also free-range but...

    EMERGENCY whats wrong with my hen?

    I'm sorry for hijacking this thread but I can't figure out how to post a new thread (even though I've done it before!). I have a sick hen, green diahrrea, lethargic, drinking a little, doesn't seem to be eating. I'm giving her corid as of yesterday but I had another hen die a few months ago with...

    Big Ole Bird

    I started my hens on it today after reading good reviews. Too soon to know anything, of course. What I'm really wondering is if I can give it to my dogs. I have a lot of dogs and this looks like it could be really cost-effective, instead of a product specifically marketed for dogs. (I frequently...

    Shoe recommendations?

    Yeah, I liked the muck boots I saw on Amazon, but the price tag... Ouch! I may just have to bite the bullet, though. Although, I'm reading the thread redsox linked to and someone mentioned overboots. I might go that route instead.

    Shoe recommendations?

    I like my Sloggers (they have chickens on them!), but I ordered them a half-size too small and it's a struggle to get them off. Thanks for the link!

    Shoe recommendations?

    I guess this is in the wrong place, but I really didn't know where to post it. I need some new shoes to wear in the barnyard that I can get on and off QUICKLY (but not mules, slides, etc...I want full coverage), are waterproof and will keep my feet decently warm in Virginia winters. Plus, my...

    Weird pecking?

    Aaawwww. If it's a bonding thing that's so adorable! The ones being pecked definitely don't seem to mind it. I wasn't so much worried as bewildered, lol. Nice to know I don't need to worry though! Thx for the replies. :)

    Weird pecking?

    Hi folks, brand new here, brand new to chickens. I had 21 chicks sort of fall into my lap a few months ago. We've been figuring things out together as we go along. Up til now I've been able to google for most of what I needed to know, but the last two days I've noticed a couple of my chickens...
