    NEED HELP NOW GROWTH IN HEN'S MOUTH?

    Hi Casportpony, Thank you for that link. I did look at it. Yesterday Dawg said to smell the hen's breath this morning which I did. There was no foul odor so I guess it isn't canker. Dawg said that if it didn't smell bad then it might be wet pox. Yesterday you mentioned that it might be a...

    Hi Dawg, What did you think of those pics. The first one on top was from today, the second down from 3 days ago and the third from today. She has been on 250mg Metronidazole a day for 5 days for possible canker but it doesn't seem that it helped. She's not weezing or anything like that.

    Help...Please. 3 sick chickens, droopie combs, not eating, purchased safeguard paste, Corid..doses??

    hi, thank you so much for replying. do I do the corid in water first and then after the time for dosing of 10 days, do I start the safe guard, or can I do them both? Or will I need to do them both? I realize the corid is for parasites and the safeguard is for worms, right?
