    Fly strike

    All you need for spraying the wound is salt 2 tsp per quart, which is called saline. It is mild, cheap, and equal to the body’s pH. You can soak in that as well, just use the same 2 tsp per quart of water in a dish pan. Many use warm water with a small amount of epsom salts, a small squirt of...

    Is this water belly ?

    She does have feather loss, and others may be pecking her feathers out. That can make her belly look more prominent. She also could be pulling her own feathers out if she has some discomfort. Has she started looking like she is going into her yearly molt? It sounds like she doesn’t really have a...

    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...

    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.

    Soon to be layer, suddenly lethargic.

    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.

    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...
