    Yellowish/White Crust Around The Ears And Base Of The Feathers Around The Head.

    That's great. I hope they get better. I think you should bath them and try and remove some of the crust. My roo lived quite a long time with this condition. Like I said in my previous post he just got worse and died. (slowly). He probably lived with this for months. I did find slight...

    Yellowish/White Crust Around The Ears And Base Of The Feathers Around The Head.

    Sad to say he didn't make it. I tried everything to help him and it just got worse and worse and then he started getting very weak. The actual crust was only from the base of his neck to the top of his head (his ears seemed crusty too). I bathed him with warm water to try and get some of the...

    Yellowish/White Crust Around The Ears And Base Of The Feathers Around The Head.

    Thanks for your response. It was really informative. I'm pretty sure it's not a respiratory problem. I've had chickens with respiratory problems and he doesn't have any of those symptoms. His nose is dry, eyes are normal not watery, the crusty build up is not runny or running down his neck and...

    Yellowish/White Crust Around The Ears And Base Of The Feathers Around The Head.

    My Japanese Bantam Roo (1.5 years old) has a yellowish/ slightly white crusty build up around and in his ears (both ears) which cause the ear cavity to block up. I clean them with water and ear wax remover a bunch of times. It helps for a bit then it crusts up again. I've just noticed the...

    Whitish spots on my roosters comb and face. (Pics)

    I checked the 2 infected chickens just now and the only place they had these spots are on the head and comb. I looked into their mouth and all over their body and it was clear. I guessing it's Dry Pox. I put Betadine on them and will continue that for the next little while. Right now there are...

    Whitish spots on my roosters comb and face. (Pics)

    Yeah it's looks like AP. What can I do to help get rid of Avian Pox? Or there really isn't a cure, will it will fix itself? Should i move the birds to another cage that show signs of it? Could it kill the bird? Is there any cream or solution I can put on it to help a bit? Thanks again for any...

    Hen won't eat, drink, or move! Please help!

    Could it be Marek's Disease? Her symptoms sound similar. I'm no expert but I would move her from the flock because Mareks can spead to other birds easily. I would Search Marek's Disease on Google and read about the symptoms and compare them with your Hen.

    Sulfamethazine Sodium Question

    My flock was suffering from runny bloody poop believed to be caused by e-coli bacteria. I've been treating them using Sulfamethazine Sodium for the last 6days (today is the last day of treatment). Each day using less Sulfamethazine Sodium. They all seem much better and I haven't seen any bloody...

    How Many Chickens Can a Bantam Hen Handle?

    Quote: Not a Troll or Child. I just wanted to see if anyone else has done something like this. I've decided not to try it. I worry way to much about my Hen. I'll raise all the chicks that were hatched in the incubator in a brooder. Much less worries.

    How Many Chickens Can a Bantam Hen Handle?

    What I was planning on doing was to have a heating lamp so the chicks that can't get under mom will still be warm. I have a small storage building outside where I would keep them. During the day they can roam around the yard with mom. The weather is hot during the day and warm at night. I'm just...

    How Many Chickens Can a Bantam Hen Handle?

    The reason I ask this is because my Japanese Bantam Hen, as we speak is hatching eggs and the eggs in my incubator are also hatching at the same time as hers. She has around 10 eggs and I have 70 eggs in the incubator. If I make a cage with a light for warmth do you think it possible to put all...
