    Post ISSAC Sick Roo and hens not laying...HELP!

    ...coop when I cleaned this morning. I also have 3 hens, 2 Ameraucanas (or EEs, not sure) and a RIR hen, all have been great layers. We have not had *any* eggs from the 2 Ameraucanas in 3 days, and I have been noticing lots of white feathers (from one of the ameraucanas only) in the run, in...

    Can anyone tell me what kind of breed this little rooster is?

    Oh, yes, now that I look at the pics, I think you're right that he's probably a Columbian Wyandotte mix of some variety :) He really is a looker! About his cooing...I have 5 hens and another big-daddy rooster (Buff Brahma) and this little guy makes totally different sounds than any of them...

    Can anyone tell me what kind of breed this little rooster is?

    ...out to be a rooster, and I sure don't think he is a Delaware. But what is he?? He doesn't even sound like any chicken I've ever heard. He coos and trills like a pigeon (and gets *really* excited for scratch and sounds like he's talking in a foreign chicken language - lol). Thanks, Denise

    What I decided to do yesterday is to TRY treating them and if they can somehow come out of this, we'd just not add to our flock until they all move on...we'd just keep these knowing that they'd be carriers and take the precautions necessary. We are all just too attached to do othewise, I think...

    Last Ditch Effort? Can you administer sulmet orally/individually and if so, how much per syringe?

    Oh, lordy. I just don't think I can do it. It does look more humane and there's no blood...both huge, but I'm just going to have to get someone else to do it, I think. Thanks for finding and sharing the videos. Maybe it'll be possible for me to show the videos to someone who has the stomach to...

    Last Ditch Effort? Can you administer sulmet orally/individually and if so, how much per syringe?

    Yes, please...and thank you. I still don't know if *I* will be able to do it, but I'll watch and see. I really just need to be able to make myself look at this differently...you know the whole, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" thing? I guess if I am...

    Last Ditch Effort? Can you administer sulmet orally/individually and if so, how much per syringe?

    ...to convince myself, yet, that there was NO HOPE and that I should give up on them. ;( I just wish I could take it all back, and never set foot on a **** swap meet...and of course, I know I can't. And with no hope. and trying to think logically and rationally, I'll need to move forward and...

    Last Ditch Effort? Can you administer sulmet orally/individually and if so, how much per syringe?

    ...Is it worth a try and does that dose sound right to you?? I don't guess I have anything to lose at this point and if there is a chance that *any of them* could recover, I would be willing to just live with this flock and not introduce ANY MORE chickens to them until they end up all passing...

    Wazine for 6 chickens/I think I messed up

    Sooo...I thought I had this figured out, but if they're supposed to finish it in one day, I've messed up I'd put 2 T of wazine in their waterer because it holds a gallon, but it's been a full day and they've gone to bed, and there's still a little over half a gallon of the wazine water left...

    Sulfa drugs?

    It was first state vet's "Sulfadimethoxine" 12.5%. I'm not sure if that's Sulmet or not. I'm looking at at bottle of Sulmet and it says (sulfamethazine sodium). I'm also interested in replies on this thread, because my layers have been drinking sulmet treated water for 2 days as a...

    Oh, but I do have another question that I could sure use some advice about....sulmet as a preventive for the rest of the flock. I was told to dose all of the unaffected-possibly-exposed chickens by putting 2 T to 1 Gallon (which is what their waterer holds). This is a flock of 1 rooster and 5...

    Rooster troubles!

    I wanted to update y'all on our attack rooster. I'm very happy to report that he's his old sweet again! My daughter (13) and I have worked diligently, using techniques and tips we picked up from here all week, and it seems to have worked! We have all been able to walk around him and he...
