You're always giving the greatest advice! Thank you ❤️ I'll get him started on the new antibiotics thats specifically meant for Mycoplasma with some ointment for his eyes and hopefully he'll get better!
I finally fell victim to a fowlpox outbreak. Some of my chicks developed drypox (thankfully, none got wetpox). After a rough battle and TLC, everyone managed to fully recover.
Only two ended up with a secondary infection, infectious Coryza. How that happened, I have no idea; I'm extremely...
Full recovery! What I did was gave her boiled egg yolks along with vitamin E capsule. I'd squeeze some gel from the capsule and she'd happily peck at and drink it. You can also add it to their water but I found it better to just give a bit through a syringe or let her take some from the capsule...
Hello everyone, it's just wave after wave of issues here. I'm not sure if these chicks have fowl pox, swelling from being pecked or mycoplasma. Mosquitoes have been awful this year so I'm going to vaccinate my birds whether they have pox or not. But I'm just curious, there's one chick in...
She's breathing fine! I think it might be a vitamin E Deficiency. I gave her some Stressguard and her head went back to normal. But after an hour it was back to her head bobbing. I think she'll need some TLC for a week or two.
Hello everyone, this morning I noticed this chick's odd behavior and I'm not really sure what it is.
They don't seem off balance and they're eating and drinking. I added some vitamins to their water but I'm just a little worried about what it could be.
The video can't be posted here for some...
I think both is a possibility honestly. I've been rinsing the eye with saline before applying the antibiotic ointment. Today, it looks a little better. Still very watery though.
Yes it's a little swollen! It goes up and down throughout the day, but it's been less swollen lately. I've been using Chloramex to treat the eye, applying it in the morning and at nighttime after putting a warm piece of cotton dipped in a saline solution against the eye to help reduce swelling...
This chick of mine got pecked really badly by its mother on the scalp when it was younger. I'm talking about nearly losing its scalp. I managed to save it, and it's been doing really well. Eating, drinking, and overall just behaving like a chick. I've noticed that its eye became foggy. I assumed...
Meet Romeo, my very loving Belgium D'uccle. As you can see, Romeo's once beautiful white spots that were present in his neck and chest, have been broken off by one of his hens — she's since been rehomed. The areas around his chest and neck now feel like a prickly beard and my poor boy looks a...
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding my Pekin hen. She's been broody and sitting on her eggs for about 3 to 5 days now. However, tonight when I checked on her, I noticed she was in the wrong nest, and her eggs had gone cold. I candled the eggs and saw veins along with the little...
She's doing a thorough job, my poor man is balding 😄 I'll look into peepers! I'm gonna recheck for lice and put some diatomaceous earth in their runs and coops. Otherwise I'll just keep her separate until his feathers grow back!
Hello everyone!
I have a bit of a predicament — one of my Barbu D'uccle hens has been picking at my rooster's feathers, plucking out the majority of his beard and damaging his saddle feathers. I have no idea what's the cause behind this behavior is?
They have adequate space, they have a...
