With the roo it was full. I can't tell if it smells sour. But they haven't been eating a whole lot jsut some but the crop seems bigger and full of water. I am concerned that if the water isn't leaving the crop then it might not be getting the antibiotics absorbed.
I had a local person Diagnose two of my birds with Cocci. So I am treating them with Sulmet. My question is I think they have Sour crop. Can I put Vinegar in the same water as the Sulmet?
OK For two days roo hasn't crowed. No has raspy breathing.. I put him in a cage at night and cover in a tarp. We have had some fog.. So I think this is the culprit... What do I do? I read an old post on respiratory. But should I stop covering him.. Should I take to a vet?
It was fat. It died. I was thinking it might be a genetic mutation. They are Golden Cuckoo marans. Which the way to get them seems ok. I have had a few of all the same coloring die.... Odd I know. Thanks for the help.There was no pasting... or weird diarrhea or anything..
I hatched some chicks and one was walking and eating fine for the past 4 days. Today it seems to set down alot and kind of stands if you make it. But it is fat. The fattest one... Any ideas if its spraddle leg or if it just got really fat quick?
OK,
MY chickens have been living in my green house with an earthen floor for two months. I am still building my Coop. I was worried that all the dust they were turning up every night was bothering them. While I was at work my mom who is visiting went and bought chips. Well they turned out to be...

Thanks guys, yes I guess my language did indicate I thought it was from here. I though because people here read alot on the internet they might have seen it posted some where else on the internet.
I understand this guy really believed it was correct, and it even might be. But when I asked him...
Hi,
I have chickens. Had them my whole life, and just this year got Golden Cuckoos in a different climate ( on the coast). I got a summer job at a feed store and some people that are new to chickens have been saying some weird stuff. Most of this weird stuff seems to be stemming from the...
I have the nicest roo, and it was getting dark and they follow me. So I ran into the coop to get them there sooner and I felt two sharp pains in the back of my leg joint. HE bit me. He had never show any aggression whats up with that did he feel threatened?
Hello
I had chicken here that had been isolated. She left.
Now on one my Golden Cuckoo Marans has a grayish soft spot on her beak near where it meets the red flesh. ( it doesn't look like Poxs but what do I know?) I just got home from work and noticed she has a droopy tail. She is also suppose...
I was all for using it.
Granted I found it at my Co Op ( health food store) and the print out that came from it was provided by the company. I am a bit Leary because it contains 83% Silica... I am a ceramicist and know it can really screw up your lungs. So they should say on the package use a...
I was using DE to preventative worm. But it caused the Chickens to start sneezing. I am supposing it was this because they hadn't done it before. It said 5% on the information that came with me DE. As long as it is food grade. I know lots of people seem to use it for all stuff. Look in Diseases...
I talked to someone in our area and the breeder I bought from might be someone who is known to inbreed...... She hasn't laid and now I need to get rid of her... The Roo won't breed with her, and I was told if he won't breed with her then they know something is wrong and will try to kill...
I have a hen that has been quarantined for about 30 days.
Over this time I have noticed that she is odd..... Weird... Her beak is opened a bit not gaping or gasping, and she doesn't want to leave the cage but not latargic, and seems "slow". The other chickens tried to kill her, and I do under...
Ok,
I used the DE on my chickens and I think that caused the sneezing ebcause I took it away and they aren't sneezing.
I am don't see any worms in my chicken Poo but figured since I just got them I should worm them, I know everyone on here says to use Wazine, Ivomec and that... but I was...
Yes they haven't had it for about a day and I haven't heard anything. DE might be natural but maybe my birds just aren't compatible with it. I am concerned for my bids because I got them to draw and pain and them being happy is essential for that. Ill try to locate BYP mag but we don't really...
