How di
When you said you place them in water, did you put the pellets in a cup of water then added to their regular water? If so, how much per gallon? Can I just put some pellets in a gallon of water and let them drink?
My friend's chicken from what I have been told has been limping for awhile now. They told me she hasn't laid an egg in about 4 months; it's October now. She was attacked by a hawk 4 months ago, but the rooster saved her, and they said no visible signs of injury. However, they noticed her...
I have a bantam hen who's eye is closed. She's been separated from the flock and she's not eating or drinking on her on. Her last temp was 107.8. She's lethargic and barely walking.
I have fish antibiotics, and someone said to give her LA-200 @ 0.09 ml per pound. She's like one pound maybe...
Yes, they said it was a high load, I forget the number but it was a lot. I just wish I knew how to help her heal even if it's a pulled tendon or muscle. I'm ok with her limping slightly, but this is significant limp.
I have a bantam hen, and she has been limping for about 2 months, almost 3. She was treated for cocci even though there was no blood in her stool, but the vet tested and said she had cocci. They also did x-rays, and they found no broken bones. Now we did have a rooster who is no longer with...
I was told that my pullet had respiratory acidosis, then another is doing the same thing. They aren't lethargic eating and drinking and acting normal. Just this gurgling and kinda like a cough but not like I've ever heard before.
It's hot here, and they have plenty of shade and fans on...
So my 1 year old hen has had a messy bum, I clean it and 3 days later it's messy again. We've tried acidified copper sulfate and giving her human grade yeast creams as directed. She seems to eat and drink ok. However, she's struggling to lay and I've been soaking her every other day. I don't...
She is molting, I guess I will just wait it out. I see back feathers coming in and more new feathers on top of her head. Can't wait till it's over though. I am just not sure if she's in pain and if so what I could give for the pain.
Here is my bantam cochin, she won't put weight on her right foot, it's like she's walking on tip toes. She was treated for cocci and given sulfadimethoxine. She's now back to herself except this limp. I can't take her outside cause she will get bullied by the big girls or she will pick a fight...
Update: She has recovered, it took about 4 weeks though, she went through some hard moments where she couldn't stand any longer, but I kept giving her vit e gel, nutridrench, vitamins in water and poultry cell. She aspirated but pulled through, and I learned never give oral medications to a...
It's been about 3 and a half weeks. She's starting to walk again and is standing on her own. I've been giving her vitamin e, nutridrench, and poultry cell. She was also given an antibiotic from her vet. She actually laid an egg today after 3 and a half weeks. Definitely an improvement.
I have a bantam hen that has been hopping around, and we thought maybe bumble foot. The doc didn't think it was full blown bumble foot but still gave antibiotics. She has taken those, but walks very slowly and will try to balance herself, we think the rooster may have hurt her when he threw...
So last year we built our chicken run and put wood chips in it. I am not really thinking I am a fan of the wood chips, well it's better than what we had, but now I want sand. My question is, do I have to dig out all of the wood chips or can I put the sand on top, or do I need to get out as...
