    Lol...keave Ethel is a misspelling of "leave Ethel". Ethel is the name of the chicken.

    Oil removes oil?? I never knew this. Thank you. I'm going to keave Ethel to clean up her oily feathers. But just knowing this tidbit is really helpful. Lol.

    Ok. Thank you. And very good to know. 😊 Also...it seems my internet is pretty slow as I'm not seeing anyone's reply very promptly. Lol.

    Polysporin caked in feathers really bad!!

    I'm only worried because I've never had to take care of a significant wound on one of my chickens. So I wasn't sure if she'd get sick from eating it, or if it was going to ruin her feathers.

    Ok. Thank you. I did bathe her today, but it's the last one. Lol.

    Polysporin caked in feathers really bad!!

    Yes... thank you. I've taken care of that. This post is only to find out how to get the polysporin out of the feathers.

    Polysporin caked in feathers really bad!!

    I wasn't wrapping it in the beginning and it dried right out, and she began pecking it pretty badly. My vet and I felt it best to wrap it. But...tbh...the polysporin was still caking into the feathers when it was open. I'm not wrapping it anymore because it's looking much better. I'm wondering...

    Polysporin caked in feathers really bad!!

    She got it from sitting on a heater I had on for water. I had to make my own water heater as my heated water bottles both froze and broke early this winter. Her and another hen did the same thing. Only the other hen's feet were bad, and this hen's keel was bad. I've rectified that issue, but...

    Polysporin caked in feathers really bad!!

    Hi Peeps. I have a 4 yr old ameraucana hen who has a 3rd degree burn on her keel. I've been treating that with mild epsom salt soak and polysporin. I remove the gauze and vetwrap and soak her wound daily. I put a bunchbof polysporin and burn treatment on many pieces of gauze and then wrap her up...

    Yellow urates -Yes another thread about this

    Sadly Lucy passed in the summertime from heat exhaustion. Since her immune system was compromised from a fox attack she has gotten heat exhaustion every summer. I put electrolytes out for them as much as the vet advised me to. I gave them ice cubes in their water, and a kiddie pool with fresh...

    Amprol in strawberries???

    Ah...yes. I understand all of it now. Thank you. I have 3, sometimes 4 water bottles on the go because the cliques here are strong, they need a few so no one is getting bullied out of hydration. Right now it's so hot and humid that I have electrolytes in their water almost everyday. I can tell...

    Amprol in strawberries???

    It says in an article or thread here that amprol can be used orally. It even gives the dose. Have you ever used it this way?

    Amprol in strawberries???

    I too was thinking of treating the whole flock because they are on an egg withdrawal from mite and lice treatment anyway. I will be retreating them a week from today for the pests. I have sprayed the coop all over, and will do it after the second treatment too. My vet and I have a very good...

    Amprol in strawberries???

    I have a young RIR hen (just a year old) and I'm treating her for cocci. It's a "just in case" thing, as she has yellow poops, is a bit slower than normal, and her comb is a bit pale. It could be a pest infestation (again!!) that's causing this, and she may not need the antibiotics. But the vet...

    Egg withdrawal for Bronco fly spray???

    I'll be using Bronco fly spray. Only on the birds though. I'll be using a heavy natural pesticide for the coop because we have ALOT of bees around here. I don't want to hurt the bee population.
