    Worms after recent treatment!?

    I would worm your chickens with Valbazen (albendazole) or SafeGuard. Ivermectin has been overused to treat mites and has lost some of it’s effectiveness for worms in recent years. Generic albendazole is easier to find than Valbazen online these days, and SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer is found in...

    Swollen Face and Mouth Hole

    Did the cheese-like material have a bad odor? That sounds like canker (trichamonosiasis,) a protozoan infection. It can look like wet fowl pox, but it has a bad odor. The different treatments use for canker are metronidazole (flagyl,) ronidazole, acidified copper sulfate, and others. It is...

    Bumblefoot or something systemic?

    Since you have had Mareks I would keep a close eye on her. Bumblefoot is not that hard to treat, and there are many different ways of treating it. If you have any videos of her head shaking, and upload them to YouTube or a similar site, we may have a suggestion. Head shaking can be a way of...

    Hen suddenly can’t breathe

    Sometimes a full crop of liquid when a crop problem is happening, can cause rattly breathing especially if crop contents come back up into the throat if the crop is accidentally pushed or squeezed. Glad she seems back to normal, but keep an eye on her for any of the symptoms listed above in post 3.

    Worms after recent treatment!?

    SafeGuard and Valbazen are different wormers. Valbazen or albendazole dosage is 0.08 ml per pound of weight given orally once and then repeated in 10-14 days. That comes out to about 0.5 ml for a 4-6 pound chicken. SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer or the Equine paste are both 10% fenbendazole...

    Hen suddenly can’t breathe

    Can you telll us what symptoms you are seeing? Are there bubbles or foam in either eye, mucus from the beak or nostrils, swelling around the eye or face, sneeze or cough? Is there any bad odor? How does her crop feel? Have you added any new birds recently? Few antibiotics are approved for...

    Sick chicken

    I would suspect an eye injury that has blinded her, and made her pupil that way. Usually with Mareks disease, the pupil may be small and irregular but the colored iris is dull or faded gray. Could you post a picture of her other eye? She may not be able to see well enough to eat. She may be low...

    Broody or sick?

    With all of the things you have answered, she may not be broody. Not laying, no missing feathers on her belly and chest, she doesn’t fit the symptoms. I would let her out of isolation and continue to observe her. Here is a list of broody behaviors...

    Hen's wound is infected (I think)

    That is a common place for injury from a rooster or pecking from hens, especially one that is new or bullied. Keep her separated, and you can get a small tube of generic triple antibiotic ointment at many Dollar Trees or dollar stores. Keep the wound clean and moist twice a day. Saline or a...

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    Oh I am sorry for your loss. I also recommend a necropsy by your state vet, to get a diagnosis. Have you seen any signs of mites or lice on her or other chickens? Her lower legs appeared very swollen, but with feather legged chickens, it can be hard to see the legs. Her urates looked a bit...

    Sometimes mycoplasma gallisepticum can be a secondary infection. If treating the eyes doesn’t clear them up, you might want to treat with some Tylosin powder in the water for 5 days. Here is where to find it with free shipping: https://thecanaryfinchstore.com/product/tylosin-powder-for-birds/

    Chick's eyes sealed closed

    Sometimes there can be pecking of the eyes by chicks. Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) can sometimes be seen in chicks when passed through a hatching egg or by contact with a carrier. The best thing to do is keep them warm, treat their eyes, and make sure they are eating and drinking often by...

    Chick's eyes sealed closed

    I would gently clean the eyes by flushing and dabbing the eyes twice a day. Terramycin or plain Neosporin triple antibiotic ointment (a small dot) can be applied into the eye twice a day. Where did you get the chicks? Are they sneezing or gasping? Make sure there are no wet spots in the brooder...
