    Severe fly strike

    Quick update: There have been no further maggots. I kept her inside for a week spraying with vetericin, then putting on polysporin a couple times daily, soaking as needed. She's eating drinking and pooping well. Behaviour seems back to normal. She has a scabbed area on her bottom. I let her go...

    Severe fly strike

    Thank you!! So far no more maggots for 36+ hours but I will keep checking for a couple more days just in case. Does anyone know how long they can continue to reoccur? I am using vetericin several times a day after cleaning but now that there haven't been maggots I will add polysporin. I really...

    a I am in Canada. My local feed mill doesn't have it. I don't see any more maggots today, but I'll keep soaking and treating. She is eating some and pooping. I will kepp treating with the Vetericin. I'm still not confident about recovery but she seems a little brighter

    Severe fly strike

    Thanks, I am going to check if I can get permethrin today but not sure it's something available in my area. I read to use polysporin on one website but then also read that the moistness promotes a more favourable environment for the magots so I wasn't sure to use or not.

    Severe fly strike

    OK, thanks so much for the advice. I did read to only use peroxide once or twice and I've started putting Vetricyn on after, which I've had good luck with in the past with other wounds. I just did one more soak and clean up before bed and it seems like I was able to get most if not all out for...

    Severe fly strike

    Our favourite hen is 7-8years old - the last couple days she seemed quieter and been panting, but we're in a heat wave. I noticed her bottom was poopy so I brought her in to soak and clean her up and was going to keep her out of the heat for a couple days inside the house as she doesn't do great...

    8 week Orpingtons - pullets or cockerels?

    Wondering if anyone can help me out with sexing these two Orpington's (lavender and golden laced) -8 weeks in these photos. I have been assuming they are both pullets but the Orpington hen I have been comparing with has a much larger comb and wattles than usual I noticed now that I have been...

    Buff Brahma - Pullet, Roo or too soon to say?

    Dang, I think you may be correct. Here a couple poor photos I snapped tucking them in tonight, didn't do well to get the comb in the lighting as it kept blurring but I think those are some saddle feathers 🤦‍♀️

    Silver laced wyandotte pair - Pullet and cockerel?

    I have a pair of silver laced Wyandotte's, 8 weeks old. I have been thinking a pullet and a cockerel pretty much all along...am I correct in assuming this based on colour and combs? I know Wyandottes can have more colour to their combs earlier so I could me wrong but the assumed male has had a...

    Buff Brahma - Pullet, Roo or too soon to say?

    This chick is 6weekish old and is my kids fav chick. Super friendly and curious. I've never had Brahmas before...is it too soon to tell gender? Comb and wattles are still quite yellow but not sure about those feathers? Thoughts?

    Loose green poop chicken seems well. Advice please!

    She seems to be broken of it for now. I have never had such a broody hen though! I will keep an eye because I'm not certain if it is her.

    Loose green poop chicken seems well. Advice please!

    One of my hens has been having green poop the last 2 days (see photo). None seem sick. It has been warm but nit super hot out and cool at night. They free range some days but not every day. One has been broody for most of the summer off and on and I just got her out of the coop the last couple...
