    Molting or mites?

    My chicken has been molting for at least a month. I am concerned that the feathers that she still has looked really frayed. Is this normal for a chicken to look so scraggly while molting? my other chickens seemed to have their feathers just fall out and return. I don't see any pins forming yet...

I will get some Tylan tomorrow. as far as the fluid goes, I will have to do another quick exam and compare o another chicken to see where it is.

    Chicken's eye has built up fluid in one eye and distened tummy.

    OKay, She does not have and cold symptoms. I took the doctor and he said pretty much the same thing in terms of organ issues, but he gave her a shot of antibiotics. It has been a few days and her eye only seems to be getting worse. should it be getting better or will it get better if I drain her?

    My chicken has orbicularis oculi exudate (puss in the eye)

    I read another thread that had the same puss in the eye thing. Is there any way around the drainage thing? OMG I am light-headed. I have some clindamycin from another chicken that had an infection. If I give that to her first will it make the abscess easier to drain?

    The Sweetest Chickens are at Brave Heart Farm

    My name is Julie Thorpe. I started Brave Heart Farm as a chicken refuge for chickens that are sold as roasters at the local feed store. I did this as a proactive expression of my reasons for being a vegetarian. A limited diet that excludes meat is a good way to impact industrial farming, but I...
