    Fowl Pox - Eyes Shut!!!

    Hi, all! I have 3 hens whose eyes are almost completely shut from the fowl pox scabs. Any suggestions on how to get them nourished and hydrated in this state?? They are having difficulty finding the water and food in some cases. :( I already have them separated, each in their own crate.

    Blood in Feces

    @Eggcessive I do have Equimax as well...I was trying to follow the doc's orders, but guess that's not going very well, is it?? 🤦‍♀️ Do you think tapeworms can cause the bleeding? Also, do you know the Equimax egg-withdrawal time? Thank you!

    Lash Egg??

    @azygous She's about 2 years and 3 months. She seems to be turning the corner since she laid a normal egg, but I hate that it may keep happening.

    Lash Egg??

    @azygous @Wyorp Rock Hi, team! Well, we made it two months, then the symptoms began to recur (egg whites, yellow stuff coming out...shriveled eggs). I brought her back in and started up with Amtyl again. On the 4th day she laid a regular egg, so I'm going to treat for ten days again. Am I in...
