    Sour crop

    I'm very sorry for your loss. It is very hard to lose them and it always seems like it's a favorite. I hope you get answers and peace of mind. Sadly it's part of keeping chickens. Some of them are lucky and get to live a very long time, but many have much shorter lives. I'm sure she had a...

    30 week chicken lost tail feathers to a dog

    I also think she has enough feathers that she will be ok until they grow back in.

    30 week chicken lost tail feathers to a dog

    If the feathers were completely plucked, they may grow back sooner. If they are just broken, and there is still some small shaft left, they won't grow til she molts and loses that shaft. Some birds do molt their first year, or do a partial molt. And some don't start til the dead of winter, so...

    Is this a from pecking or something else?

    Not surprised they still want to roost in the mobile coop. They are very much creatures of habit and dislike change. If you want them to go back to roosting in the main coop you will need to remove the mobile one and probably physically put them on the other roosts, maybe several nights in a...

    Is this a from pecking or something else?

    It's blurry when I zoom in, but I suspect it's getting pecked. Sometimes bare spots attract more attention. That is where the roo's hang on when they mount however, so it could be getting hurt then, since it's bare. Or it could be happening on the roosts at night. The feathers may not fill...

    Swollen Eye

    You can get terramycin eye ointment without a prescription. Some Tractor Supply stores and other feed stores carry it, this is one online source: https://birdpalproducts.com/products/terramycin-ophthalmic-ointment1?srsltid=AfmBOorqCor-9dSazGpvoymq2R3R1hXPiyR4U9cpDc-2Pah2zwUEV6Zl You can also...

    Sour crop

    I'm very sorry. At 4 years old, with a mass in her belly, it's likely that she has a reproductive problem. The mass could be infectious material from salpingitis or internal laying, cancer, or fluid from a leaking liver (which is a symptom of something else). If it's fluid (ascites) that can...

    regrowing feathers? How?

    There are some saddles that cover that area, I've put one image below, maybe you can modify yours. If you search for "hen saddles" you will get a fair number of different styles people sell. When they have the wing covers they also sometimes have a strap that goes around the front of the neck...

    Greyish/pink comb and waddle

    Best I can find, Wormazole is albendazole, so if dosing is correct it's a very good wormer. Some of the products that come up are questionable on dosing since they don't really say how much is in each pill, however. Do you know when she last laid, and has she ever laid abnormal eggs? Is she...

    Bumps on feet that bleed

    It looks like some kind of injury, either they are getting cut/abraded on something, or possibly stung or bitten by something. You can dab the spots with a bit of iodine, and you can use plain triple antibiotic ointment on them.

    Greyish/pink comb and waddle

    Can you post pictures? How old is she? Is she showing any signs of molt, look everywhere for any pin feathers coming in?

    Worming

    Yes, you can give a single dose 10 days after the final of the 5 day treatment.

    Chicken attacked by dog last week, questions about leg mobility and poop. No vet in area. Graphic photos

    It's good you are seeing some improvement in the right leg. You can probably raise her up a little higher in the sling, so the feet just touch, but she doesn't really bear weight, that may help with the spinning some. When out of the sling if you prop her up with rolled up bath towels, make it...

    Exorcist head turning

    @Richie Sorry, just saw this. It is true, the Marek's vaccine does not prevent them from getting the disease, just prevents them from developing the tumors and reduces mortality. There are other reasons that wry neck symptoms can occur, vitamin deficiencies being a common one. Head injury and...

    How to tell if egg bound?

    Try to get her to take some fluids, fresh water alternated with electrolite water, pedialite or gatorade.

    How to tell if egg bound?

    Yes, give her more calcium, another Tums. You are not going to hurt her with this, it's short term treatment, calcium issues arise from long term use of too much. If she is having trouble passing something, it will help. I suspect this is some kind of reproductive problem, but trying the...

    EMERGENCY!!! DOG BITE WOUND TO CHICKEN

    I don't think the garlic and honey drink would really help. And garlic can be toxic in too large of amounts (chickens are very small). Do you have any antibiotics on hand? Old leftover human ones?

    How to tell if egg bound?

    How is your hen this morning? Did she pass anything overnight and has she pooped? If so, what does the poop look like? Do you know when she last laid normally?

    Salpingitis antibiotic questions

    I used the 10% orally. Dosages I've used are: 10 mg per kg of body weight 2 times a day for 5 days (0.1 ml per 2.2 lbs of the 10%) 15 mg per kg of body weight once a day for 5 days (0.15 ml per 2.2 lbs of the 10%) 20 mg per kg of body weight once a day for 5 days (0.2 ml per 2.2 lbs of the 10%)

    Long term egg bound, I think 🤔

    If she were egg bound she would already be dead. When a bird is truly egg bound they cannot pass droppings either, they don't live long that way. It's much more likely that she has some kind of reproductive problem. The mass you feel could be infectious material from a condition called...
