    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    I am curious, how do you know if a chicken has a yeast/fungal infection? Is there a smell as well as the weezing, and goupy eyes etc. And what would be the best thing to try first? Like the post below, stating 250 plus on things that did not work, I am also struggling and want to see what I...

    Newly purchased and very sick chickens

    I'm trying to get the people I bought them from to come get them and give me my money back. I'll just get another 4 or 6 hatchlings to raise like I did my two and go from there. I am going to add in deworming every two months just to make sure they never get anything.

    Newly purchased and very sick chickens

    Hi Ya'll. I had such a great and positive experience when my first roo got sick. I purchased 6 birds from a local family, 4 hens and 2 roos. 3 were RI Reds and the other 3 Silkies. I am finding it very hard to tell which of the siklies is a roo, but right after losing my first RI red roo this...

    Hi I'm Tarina and I am a new chicken mom

    Thank you, if I lose anymore I will keep that in mind. I did not know this information and we have since burried the Roo. It was really hard on me to find him and it took all I had to get it all cleaned up and bury him. I will call around and see who can do that should another one die.

    Hi I'm Tarina and I am a new chicken mom

    I thought of that too, however, the first three I got, the two hens and the roo that died, the roo never crowed in the 17 days I had him and all three have/had runny poops since day one. I have had them seperated from my original two, they also seemed to stay away from them on their own...

    Hi I'm Tarina and I am a new chicken mom

    I just added 3 oz to 1 pint of water mixed and then gave him 10m as it said on the bottle. Now I'm confused. So I ca. Give 5ml undiluted 1 x daily for 3 days? Sorry I'm so slow trying to save him and yes plan on giving this to all the chickens

    Hi I'm Tarina and I am a new chicken mom

    Update. His head is very hot. He is chattering his beak like a kid when their cold. Think stringy mucous coming out of his beak and his iris is spazing out like it gets wide then smal but really quickly. Idk if I'm making him worse .
