    Comb scabs and white patches

    Hello all, I noticed today my silver campine had a big scabby bit on her comb, looked like it had been pecked so I picked her up for further investigation. It was quite solid and crusty so I applied a bit of coconut oil. Then I noticed she had some white spots on the other side of her comb...

    Young hen with very flaky skin on face please help

    I checked her over today. Other than the areas I put the vetRx on she is fine. I let her eat the princess food today, and have her some scrambled egg, plain yoghurt etc and she has been quite happy eating and drinking. It's literally like the vetRx has just burnt her poor little thing

    Hi again, thanks for getting back to me. I clean her nostrils in the morning and evening, this morning they did seem clearer, she is still eating plenty and I've managed to get some poultry power down her next too. She is active, eating and drinking, also preening. Now my only concern is when...

    20 week old hen eaten moldy food, now sick

    Hello all, I posted yesterday regarding noticing my hen had some feathers stuck to her beak. When I removed them, her nose was snotty and stank really bad. Obviously this was a concern so I cleaned her beak up as best I could and put some vetRx around her face and popped her back to bed. Crop...

    19 week old hen snotty nose and bad breath HELP!!!

    I gave them clear instructions and I was annoyed when I returned back today to find the food all gross and compacted in the feeder. I'm in the UK, it is very wet and cold at the moment, basically constantly raining. Was obviously also upset that she spent a night out of the coop the night it was...

    19 week old hen snotty nose and bad breath HELP!!!

    I only just noticed today. I also just realised that unfortunately I think they have been eating some mouldy food. I went away for a few days and had someone look after the flock and when I returned today, their feeder was full of very wet, old looking food which was compacted in the feeder. It...
