Thanks for that.. very helpful. The egg definitely wont stay back in and the membrane is starting to get firmer and a bit crusty.. i gave her another warm bath and washed it as best i could and then put vaseline and betadine on.. i am continuing to give her antibiotics and will give her hard...
And does anyone know if she will be backed up if i dont remove this egg soon? Im worried that i cant push it back in, in case another egg is one its way down too.
Does anyone know if you can cut a small opening in the membrane and release the egg that way?! It might sound like a silly question, but i am new at this whole thing and i have a bantam that has prolapsed. Her egg is small and the membrane around it seems very thin.. i have started her on...

Hi there,
I have a Light Sussex, Frizzle and 2x BCW (they both look the same) Please help me figure out which are boys and which are girls. They are around 6/7 weeks old now.
Thank you!
Hi there,
I have just recently picked up two 3 week old GLW chicks to put in my brooder with my other chicks the same age.
Now these two were hatched and raised so far with a broody and i doubt were handled at all by anyone so i expected them to react differently towards the brooder and me...
Thank you for your opinion... glad to know that sulmet also says something similar about not giving it to producing chickens.
Im not 100% sure that my new chicks have the disease yet and am monitoring there stool. I just have this sulfa treatment on hand just in case.
hmm, well i think this type of treatment is primarily used for budgies, canaries, finches and even larger birds like parrots.. so i thought it might be possible.
My local feed store doesn't supply the types of coccidiosis treatments that are most commonly used in the states.. i live in australia and cant seem to find those here. I have however found "Avian Science Sulfa Remedy" that contains 64.9mg/ml sulfadimidine as the sodium salt treatment but am not...
Hi everyone! I have 2 bantams that are apparently both 4 weeks old (apparently but i think they may be a couple weeks older) but my buff one is much larger than my black one and has developed a pink comb and small wattles. I was convinced it was a boy once i noticed this because my little black...
Update!
Chicks are doing great... im still not sure if they have cocci or not?!
Well there may be one of them i am suspicious about with the poop being more of a reddish yellow or brown color... i am keeping my eye on her and decided to buy some medication just in case. I wont treat her until i...
Hi there, Just wondering if it is okay to give my 2 week old chicks ACV water and plain yoghurt + starter mash at the same time? I believe they have cocci and i am trying to build them up for the night to buy me some time to get the medication tomorrow.
I hope they make it though.. any advice...
