    Prolapse scab?

    Experiencing similar retention challenges. I do a Epsom salt soak, use honey to help her get her prolapse back inside and then within about 5 to 10 minutes she's got it back out again. I thought natural anti-inflammatories would help shrink it and make it easier for her to pull it in on her own...

    Lash Egg (Viral Salpingitis)

    I'm trying natural stuff now. Vinegar, antimicrobial spray, honey. I'm noticing she's a little inflamed now that we do this a couple times a day. I think I'll check the natural herbal healing for inflammation too.

    Lash Egg (Viral Salpingitis)

    This is very helpful for this hopeful chicken mama. I currently have a very unique situation with what I think is a prolapsed event that had a lash egg attached to the end of it and struggling with bacterial vent delete because of the clear liquid and diarrhea excreting around the area. The...

    Possible prolapse and gleet

    Hmmm interesting. I wonder. She's still acting like a normal chicken. Ate all her food drink water and pooped. Not acting lethargic or strange really at all. Red comb and wattle. I just tonight, 6 days later, slowly and gently worked that build up off the end and exposed a raw what looks like...

    Possible prolapse and gleet

    So just tonight I worked the fatty material off after softening it in warm Epsom salt water. It is raw looking and I was able to gentle push it back in. 6 days from first notice. I plan to still start antibiotics and hope for the best.

    Possible prolapse and gleet

    Is this a lash egg on the end? It feels life it wants to come off, can I help it?

    Possible prolapse and gleet

    I have a 3-year-old chicken I have been treating for what I think might be prolapse and vent gleet. I've been washing with Dr bronner's antibacterial soap, soaking in Epsom salt baths, spraying with antimicrobial spray, and once even tried to sugar scrub for shrinking. I have her separated from...

    garden chickens grazing safety

    This makes so much sense. Thank you for the reminder of their sixth sense and actually how intelligent they really are. Being a first timer I wasn't too concerned about the garden. Learning this year. We have very limited planting. Next year we already have a different plan. :)

    garden chickens grazing safety

    My girls graze on our garden. I'm learning tomato plants and eggplants are nightshade. Is it safe for them to peck at these plants? I also have pokeweed which is wild and Google says poisonous to some livestock but I couldn't find any evidence of toxicity to chickens. Birds love the...
