Hi, have you got an update on your hen? I have a very similar issue with my 6 year old hen. Thankd

Hello, I have a splash Cochin roo and would like to cross him with my lavender orpington hen. What can I expect in a offspring? Note: He is older than this picture. Need to update.

Hello, I’ll keep him on amoxicillin for 10 days. I cleaned his ears out tonight, he had black gunk in both. I’ve attached a picture of his ear. Not very good. For the ivermectin, do I apply it to his back side or underside? I’ll repeat it in 14 days at the appropriate amount. Thanks again.

Thank you, if I have Tylosin how do I mix this for his use only? I also have amoxicillin? I will clean his ears out today. For the mites, I dusted him in Saven and applied a pin drop of ivermectin under each wing, above his vent and above his chest. McCreamy and I thank you

Thank you, how long should I keep him on amoxicillin?

Ok, so I checked him completely out tonight. His breath and mouth are good, no signs of anything there. His crop was firm so I’ll check it in the morning. I also looked at a few other hen ears to compare, he has gunk in his ears, it’s yellowish/whitish and glandular. I did find a few mites in...

Hello, his breth is good, no signs of anything in his back, looks good. His crop is was full tonight so I’ll check again in the AM to make sure it’s ok. I did see some yellow gunk in his ears. Cleaned them out

Thank you, I’ll go down and have my husband help to get a hood look. Hopefully with your help we can get him back to himself. He is a very special boy. I’ll send info after I take a closer look at him.

Thank you for responding I have not looked in his ears, but based on recommendations from several readers I’m going to check them with a few other hens to compare. He scratches, you can see the damage he is doing to his comb, those scabs are self inflicted. I don’t see any discharge nor mites...

I’m not sure if he’s doing it on the roost, but when he’s taking a cat nap, he will jolt to shake his head. I’ll go down and look in a few hens ears. He’s been doing this a little over 3 months. But it’s getting more consistent over time.

Thanks for responding. Question, could I put a drop or 2 of swimmers ear drops in his ear, then treat him with ear drops and antibiotics?

Thank you for responding He keeps scratching his comb and to make it worse I have a few hens that peck at his comb while on the roost and he lets them. I’ve checked for mites, he has none. They are all on a regular schedule for de-worming (SafeGuard). I looked in his throat and it looks good...

Thank you so much for responding. There is only 1 vet in the area and she not taking new patients at this time. Your the second person that has said ear infection. Would you know which antibiotics to give him? I’m thinking amoxicillin. Again thank you
