    Sick hen not Eatting or drinking possible infection

    The yellow buildup could be coryza. Does either eyelid have swelling or drainage from the eye? Can you ask the owner if they have ever treated or lost a bird to respiratory disease?

    Sick hen not Eatting or drinking possible infection

    Is the yellow drainage around her beak and nostril mucus from her nasal passages? Does it stink? Can you look into her beak for any yellow matter? How does her crop feel—empty and flat, full, squishy, dough-like or firm? Can you check her crop again early in the morning before she eats or...

    rat bite injury

    The betadine and neosporin would be okay to use especially with a puncture wound. I would let her be out and do what she normally does, but watch for swelling or an anscess. Did this just happen? Could it have been a snake?

    Possible coccidiosis?

    It is up to you. You can worm them at the same time since the wormer is given orally. Vabazen dosage is 1/2 ml orally, and repeated in 10 days. Safeguard Liquid Goat Wormer dosage is 1/4 ml per pound orally for 5 consecutive days for most chicken worms, or given once and again in 10 days for...

    Looks like a bloody stool

    Coccidiosis is very common in warm moist or rainy weather. Coccidia are in the soil, and the chickens normally with exposure to it, will eventually develop tolerance to it as they get older. I would try to stir the bedding daily and add to it when needed to keep it fresh. I am not a fan of deep...

    Clear Liquid From Vent

    Is her lower belly distend or enlarged? Is it clear and colorless, or yellowish?

    Possible coccidiosis?

    Coccidia oocysts are in the soil everywhere. You cannot disinfect soil. You can clean up droppings and keep their pine shavings dry and clean as possible. It may take some time for the blood to completely disappear. How are they acting? Are any especially lethargic or weak? Blood can also be...

    Looks like a bloody stool

    How old are your chickens? Do you have any pictures of them or their droppings? If they are under 3 months old, I would skip the tincture and put them all on Corid or amprollium and treat for possible coccidiosis. Dosage of Corid is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder Corid per gallon...

    3 year-old layer laid a rubbery red mass in nesting box

    I’m sorry for your loss. The red fleshy material is probably due to a reproductive issue, possibly ruptured oviduct or cancer, but I can’t tell you what. I’m not a vet. Cornell Vet School is available to you in NY. The body should be kept cold or refrigerated in plastic bags, but not frozen...

    infectious bronchitis and thin shelled eggs

    No, I did not treat since this was 12 years ago. Back then, it was new to me.

    infectious bronchitis and thin shelled eggs

    Just wondering, do you have other birds with symptoms of sneezing every few minutes for several weeks? Was it diagnosed with testing or had you seen it before? Most of the time 7 days is long enough to give the calcium for harder shells, but I think that @azygous will give it for up to 2 weeks...

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    Aquasol is the same medicine as SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer, goes in the water, and does not have an egg withdrawal, but it only treats roundworms and cecal worms. It does not treat gapeworms or capillary worms, and is very expensive. Also the dosage is very complicated.

    HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

    I am just looking at the blue green area again, and see that you have wrapped the foot before. So I am wondering if you may have wrapped the tape or dressing a bit too tight. If that is what happened, it could be a little necrotic or damaged where the circulation was cut off a bit. That may have...

    HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

    Big Blue Hen is right that is bruising. Edited to say, I think this is now possible necrotic skin from interrupted circulation (too tight dressing.) See post 12 below. I would flush the hole with saline or wound spray, apply antibiotic ointment to it and the red area on the toe. Then dress it...

    Help! My Cochin hen has some sort of abscess? Idk what it is. It’s below the vent and huge!

    I still think that it is a hernia, but now may have infection. The air sounds like there is an air sac close to the puncture sight and you may have drained some air with the cloudy yellow liquid. It is probably abdominal contents and probably evidence of egg yolk peritonitis. That is just my...

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer is given orally for 5 consecutive days at a dosage of 0.23 ml per pound, which is about 1.25 ml orally for a 5 pound hen. It has to be shaken well before drawing up each dose, and it settles out in water, so it is not accurate to give it in the water. If a hen is not...

    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    Where are you located? You can check with your state vet lab, or contact Zoologix or RAL lab for private testing. The last 2 will send you swabs and material to collect testing samples, and then you mail them in for PCR testing. Some do panels of multiple diseases. Zoologix is in CA...
