    chicken with right sided weakness

    I have a one year old rooster who was hiding behind my spare coop in late March. When I went to see what was wrong he began scooting backwards and then collapsed. I brought him in overnight worried that he might not make it through the night. He was still alive the next morning. I vaccinated him...

    incubator question

    I am having poor hatch rates with the Little Giant incubator with the digital thermometer and humidity. Can anyone give me advice on using this model for better results? I have staggered hatches with the later ones having problems getting out of their membranes. I always fill the water wells...

    A terrible mistake with broodies I want to share

    I started out with one broody hen who would not give it up. I eventually gave her a couple of eggs to sit on. Several days later another hen decided to be broody as well and took over the nest. The original broody sat in the next nesting box on a ceramic egg so I gave her a couple of her own...

    chicken with exposed hernia under vent

    Sorry I was not able to post any photos. I needed 2 hands to care for this wound. I replaced the entrails and packed the wound with moistened gauze x4 days, cleaning with Betadine around the wound. Following that I gave her a trial of having it open to air. Everything stayed put so I treated it...

    chicken with exposed hernia under vent

    I have an older hen who had a large fluid filled swelling under her vent. I had drained the fluid off thinking it was ascites and the size significantly decreased. I followed up by soaking her in an attempt to clean the area with the intent on applying some poultry aid to help the area heal...

    Investigating chicken death - suspect mink

    I found my Rhode Island Red with no head in the run portion of a spare coop within my enclosed run. The run has mesh sides and poultry netting secured over the top. The head and pieces of flesh were found in the main part of the little coop. There was a small pool of blood outside of the spare...

    fox grabbed my rooster and ran while I was standing there

    This has been a particularly bad year for free ranging. Several months ago my neighbor's dog came into my yard and killed one chicken and seriously wounded another. I had just gotten the wounded hen healed and back with her flock. I have been letting my flock out when I am off work and around...

    Broody turkey with no man

    It's spring and my turkey hen is wedged up in the nesting box. I tried putting her on the roost manually at night, blocking the nesting box with a cardboard box, locking the flock out of the coop during the day, and separating her into a separate area. She injured her nose trying to break out of...

Now I have another hen with long standing feather0 loss and a weird tumor like growth from her feather follicle (a Marek's symptom). Will try vitamins and putting some Vetracyn...

    st. john's wort dosage

    Symptoms that may be Marek's. Initially she just seemed a little off balance, but I observed her for a little longer today and noticed crouch walking. She began molting just after Thanksgiving and only has about half of her feathers back in. I treated her with Wyzine and Nutri-Drench. If...
