    Fenbendazole poisoning?

    This just happened to me today. I’m thinking the same thing as your concern. Per Gail Damerow, in the chicken health handbook:

    Thank you for the article. Praying we don’t have something contagious going on…my Roo has an empty crop this evening.😞

    Rooster's crop is always empty?

    Fresh water should always be available and at the correct height for every bird in the flock. Dehydration is deadly and extremely uncomfortable for any living creature.

    Sudden hen death, no apparent cause, what do I look for in a necropsy?

    Could they be getting into something toxic or poisonous?

    Safeguard paste- pea sized dot- dead hen

    Unfortunately, too late for the necropsy. We have done that before through NC State lab.

    Safeguard paste- pea sized dot- dead hen

    She was a pretty big hen, a black rock. Makes me feel like if she could’ve handled more than a pea size Dot then it wouldn’t have been a toxic overdose. Do you agree? The chicken chick.com has a vet doctor on there that says pea size dose -repeat in 10 days- of course I’m paranoid now even...

    Deworming hens with Safeguard

    Chickenchick.com says that her vet doctor says a P size dosage. I personally have had success with that amount in 10 years of use, but it scares me to death to think about using any more than that because the same vet says it’s toxic if given too much. Coincidentally, I just dewormed with...

    Safeguard paste- pea sized dot- dead hen

    I gave my flock a small pea size dot of Safeguard paste about 6 days ago after seeing a roundworm in a dropping. My beautiful hen that I adopted last May, not even one year old, healthy, good layer, dead on the coop floor this morning. It may mean nothing but beside her was a little larger pile...

    +++Do some hens NOT lay eggs??+++

    I have an Astrolorp that has never been in the nest boxes nor has she ever laid an egg. Been keeping chickens and roosters almost 10 years. I rarely see this beauty do much of anything chicken. I’m not sure if I recall her ever in a molt! She’s 1.5 yrs old.

    Bumblefoot Mystery

    Sorry, talk text didn’t pick up PRID salve. I usually combine it with an Neosporin and then wrap with vet wrap with a little plug of cotton in the center over the wound. I have done many of these little operations without the PRID and the results are just as effective.

    Internal antibiotics only cause other problems by destroying the gut biome so unless you’re doing that under veterinarian supervision and following with probiotics, it’s not recommended. I find that a little bit of mixed with Neosporin works beautifully for these external infections.

    Bumblefoot Mystery

    When you pack with Neosporin after you have plucked out the pus kernel following a 15min epsom and iodine soak, be sure to use the type without pain relief because it is toxic to chickens. If you can’t remove the whole kernel first time, you may have to repeat the process in a couple days until...

    here we go again: Venus's sister Elvira 'leaking' clear fluid, help??

    The one with the swelling improved temporarily on coconut oil, probiotic and metronidazole, but when it returned, she suddenly gained a lot of swelling and was having trouble walking. The one that had continued just to waste had corid treatment, and later on acidified copper sulfate, neither of...

    here we go again: Venus's sister Elvira 'leaking' clear fluid, help??

    Sorry, but I keep thinking of things. Gave her the first dose of safeguard and will follow again in six days. no change. I’ve had two other hens in the past to do this same thing one of them just continue to lose weight until it was her time and the other one’s abdomen swelled up like a hot...
