    Help with Tiagard

    Dosage is 8 ml per gallon, so it may be mixed too strong. A TB is twice that much. Here is some info on Denagard which is the same as Tiagard: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/denagard-dose-for-3-chickens-how-to.1442100/

    Fly strike

    The maggots have eaten through her skin unfortunately. I would probably soak her again in the morning and make sure of no more maggots. Antibiotic ointment would be good to coat the area under the vent twice a day. Permethrin spray can be used on the area to kill all maggots. Eventually the skin...

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    Do you have pictures of her eyes? Are the eyes the same with round black pupils, and are the colored irises normal? Is there any gunk or bubbles in either eye?

    Chickens having trouble walking

    If they are rescues, it can be hard to know how their diet was previously. I would feed the layer feed primarily, since it is the minimum of protein they need with a balance of other nutrients. The more things you add, the less that the vitamins and minerals are in balance. Let us know if the B...

    Soon to be layer, suddenly lethargic.

    Yes a cochin would look more round than a d’ccle. Glad that she is feeling better. Calcium citrate 300 mg with d3 can be given for egg binding symptoms. Hopefully, she will lay an egg.

    Chickens having trouble walking

    What are they eating? Are they on a balanced layer or all flock feed as the majority of what they eat? I would offer her 1/4-1/2 tablet daily of human super B complex vitamins for a few weeks. Those can be crushed and added to a bit of scrambled egg daily for each chicken.

    Lethargic hen with yellow urates

    A tsp of plain yogurt with live cultures for each chicken 3 days a week can supply probiotics and keep their gut bacteria healthy.

    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...
