  1. Eggcessive

    Soon to be layer, suddenly lethargic.

    Is she a mille fleur d’uccle? She looks very poofy. Could she have coccidiosis? Symptoms include lethargy, weakness, not eating, runny poops, and standing hunched and puffed up. Corid is the treatment in the water. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid Corid or 1.5 tsp of the powder Corid, per gallon of...

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    You might consider using (pine shavings) bedding or sand in their coop and run. Be sure to keep everything dry and clean as possible.

    Coccidiosis help please!

    You could try giving her medicated fluids often with a syringe down into her crop or tube feeding. Here are some links about giving small amounts of fluids down into the crop: https://unitedpeafowlassociation.org/articles/oral-medication-dosing-of-peafowl/ Tube feeding:

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    They may have coccidiosis or be too scared if they were attacked by older birds. Waterers and feeders should be cleaned with soap and water daily, especially in warm weather. Consider treating with Corid for coccidiosis. Symptoms include weakness, not eating, standing hunched and runny poops...

    Terrible Case of bumblefoot. Time for the vet?

    It is not that a curate to give medicines in water, and amoxicillin settles out or is not soluble in water. Sometimes if a tablet or capsule have to be split into 2 or more doses, I will give the contents of capsule or crush a tablet into scrambled egg or something like cream cheese. But with...

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    Sorry for your loss. It looks like a massacre. I wonder about rats or cannibalism of the older birds. What type of floor do you have? How much room inside the coop? What is the age of the chickens? Are the cockerels trying to mate. Instead of separating pullets, if the cockerels are the...

    Need help with canker problem

    Since canker is a contagious protozoan disease, many chose to cull chickens with canker. It can evevtually spread to all of your poultry through contaminate drinkers and feeders. Pigeons spread it to wild bird birds and chickens. But the things used to treat it are acidified copper sulfate and...

    Terrible Case of bumblefoot. Time for the vet?

    How much does your chicken weigh? If she is at least 4-5 pounds I would give amoxicillin 250 mg twice a day for 10 days. It would probably help to soak the foot in warm Epsom salts water and apply antibiotic ointment, a 2x2 pad and wrap the foot in strips of vet wrap. Do not get too tight or it...

    Something growing on roosters faces (mostly around ears)

    The earlobes look like they could have normal white spillage coloring, but the area around the ears and on the face look like he has been scratching them. I would also look into his ears and use a QTip and peroxide to clean them and look for ear mites or gunk. If they are very dirty, then you...

    Should I trust the vet for crop issue?

    I would call the vet back and ask if they can do a follow up xray to see where the foreign body is located now. They should have suggested crop surgery after the xray. If it has moved on in the digestive system to the gizzard or intestines it is hard to know what could happen. I don’t have any...

    Coccidiosis help please!

    It would be 1.5 tsp of the powder into 2 ml of water, which equals the undiluted Corid. Then give 0.1 ml of that mixture per pound of weight.

    Coccidiosis help please!

    I wouldn’t isolate anyone unless they are being trampled or picked on. The drench dose is 0.1 ml per pound of weight orally of the undiluted Corid.

    Coccidiosis help please!

    How much Corid are you using in the water. I would use 2 tsp per gallon for 5-7 days, and give the drench 0.1 ml of undiluted orally 1-2 times a days for any who are really sick. Then you can also treat with 1/4 of the water dose for an additional 5 days if needed. What are the ages? Have you...

    Clear Liquid From Vent

    Oh okay. It would be good to know if the clear fluid is yellow like water belly fluid is. If she does some, try putting a white paper towel on it to soak some up to note the color. Water belly fluid leaking could be related to reproductive disorders.

    Clear Liquid From Vent

    I had a hen who always had watery fluid droppings. This was when I had poop boards under my roost, and hers would be like pouring water into the sand-like bedding. She would act like she was laying an egg every other day, then no egg would be left in the next box. I never figured out her...

    2 Week Old Chick Eye Swollen Shut

    What does her eye look like inside. Is the eye intact and normal or is therek any gunk inside? I would keep using the ointment. Rinsing depends on if there is any gunk inside.

    Sick hen not Eatting or drinking possible infection

    The best thing to do is to get the bird tested for coryza I would think. It only takes a day or two after being exposed for healthy birds to become sick. Sulfa antibiotics (bactrim, trimeth sulfa, sulfadimethoxine) may help treat symptoms, but the disease is chronicgetting better then worse, and...

    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?
