    Oviduct removal

    I have a girl who needs her oviduct removed due to build up of impacted pus material but wondering about costs and risks. I have heard chickens don't do well under anesthesia. I am in Canada and would have to go through U of Guelph but its $100 to even get them to see her and I am over an hour...

    Post mortem - *graphic* 3 massive lash eggs found

    I wanted to add that my flock was affected with mycoplasma gallisepticum. This was before I knew anything about why noone should ever take in adult chickens when you already have am established flock. Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it. I had 1 large outbreak of mycoplasma 3 years ago which tylan was...

    HELP - Prolapsed Vent

    I just had a hen with a prolapsed vent and was also egg bound that looked like this. She was young but I seriously thought she was going to diem. A soft shelled egg was stuck and I had to literally pull it through her abdominal wall (so I guess she had a hole right through her oviduct) but I...

    Post mortem - *graphic* 3 massive lash eggs found

    I have a flock of around 65 hens, a mix of whatever I could order as layers from TSC in Canada and some barnyard mixes. This spring will have been 5 years since I raised my first batch and some are so dear to my heart. Many were lap pets. This fall I have lost 4 of some of my very favourites...

    Waddle and diarrhea - favourite hen!

    Yes her crop is emptying overnight. She is drinking a lot on her own, more than normal for sure. She is eating on her own as well but had definitely lost too much weight in the last month. I will try giving her another Tums today. I have her in a very warm quiet room. It is definitely not...

    Waddle and diarrhea - favourite hen!

    She was moulting the last month so I took her off behaviour as just moulting but then her walk became more penguin like and yesterday she was having trouble walking. Here in these pics she is still eating her layer pellets and her poopy towel that is wet from passing a lot of watery poops

    Ascites - full recovery

    I wanted to post my experience recently with a hen with ascites. I have lost 2 hens in 4 years to ascites. One I had drained and she never swelled up again and continued to live for 6 or 8 more months but never regained full health and was thin and basically starved to death. I had brought...

    Molting baby chick injury

    Yeah as they grow in their feathers there is a lot of white stuff from the shafts coming off. As long as she's not bleeding and leaving drops on the ground or colouring her new feathers you should be ok

    A chicken will not molt until right up before the cold winter weather starts....so fall. They wouldn't be molting as baby chicks

    Really nasty ear infection in a silkie hen ~GRAPHIC pics~

    I just treated my cochin roo with this. Used polysporin eye ear drops, tried to pull out the pus and had him on 10 days of tetracycline. Then I realized he had a mite and flea infestation so I gave him a dose of selamectin (Revolution here in Canada). the guy looks like a brand new bird...

    Bumblefoot

    Definitely looks like mites which can be hard to spot. I have 65 birds and only 1 that had mites and/fleas and his legs were worse than this. He actually got a staph infection (which is bumblefoot) but in his ear....I believe mites left untreated will lower the immune system and lead to staph...

    Rooster fight left with leg unable to use

    And yes he is in his own run on a comfy cushiony pad...he always shifts his weight so its not on the bad leg side. His eating seems to have gone from great to only ok so I started giving him 3 meals of mixed foods plus his feed but he seems to have lost some weight. Can metacam be hard on the...

    Rooster fight left with leg unable to use

    No he didnt xray. Here in Canada an xray like that is fairly expensive although he didnt say that. I guess he just seemed certain enough it wasnt broken or dislocated. He was on metacam for 12 days but I haven't seen any improvement really and I am concerned. Should I have him on metacam...
