I just researched up the lash egg and the pictures looked exactly the same as the one here my poor Plucky laid. Thank you so much Kelsie2290!!! I think I'm at ease now knowing what problem my chicken has. Thank you so so much!! God Bless!!!
Hey guys!
I was wandering if anyone who knows anything about this to please offer some sort of information. I am kinda worried about it because my chicken isn't eating much and she was moving very slowly. If you know anything about this then please help.
My chicken walked into the coop...
I'm so sorry to hear that Chely. I'm sure your chicken is at peace now. At least you now know what to do in the future if this happens again. With chickens, you gotta act quick or it's too late. But I'm sorry to hear that. If something else happens to your chickens just ask me and I'll see if I...
Good question dawg53! My Dad and I recommend 2 weeks after the last dose of Doxycycline. I believe this because by 2 weeks the antibiotic would surely be out of the chickens system. We just take precautions, as consuming eggs with even the tiniest amount of medication isn't exactly "OK". I gave...
Ohh and another thing. DO NOT EAT THE CHICKENS EGGS WHILE ON MEDICATION!!! It's very dangerous! Watch her laying times and dispose of her eggs ASAP. If her eggs get mixed in with other chickens eggs, then I'm sorry to say, but ditch them all. Better safe than sorry!
Same thing happened to my Araucana chicken. She was sneezing and coughing and crowing uncontrollably with heavy, labored breathing. $200 and 3 antibiotics later I worked out that an antibiotic called "Doxycycline" cured her. Now she hardly sneezes. Probably once every few days. Haven't had to do...
Ohh yeah and another thing. Vet RX won't cure the chicken/bird. It just helps the bird to breathe better but doesn't cure it. If the bird has a respiratory infection then use an antibiotic. While on the antibiotic DO NOT EAT THE EGGS IF A CHICKEN!!! You can start eating the eggs again 2 weeks...

Yeah thanks for your reply. Yes I have checked for broken eggs but thats not the case. I started giving her probiotics and has helped alot. We're giving her heaps of yoghurts and greens and now she seems to be alright. But I will take in your advice. We already give them apple cider vinegar. But...
Hi guys! My chicken has been really sick lately which includes uncontrollable sneezing, coughing and screaming. She hasn't been eating or drinking lately but is very lively and active. She stretches her neck and opens her mouth very wide just trying to breath. She can't poop or lay eggs, so how...
Thank you so much Eggcessive! I do have sulfa drugs so i guess i'll see if she does it again cause she did stop for a while but if she starts coughing again i treat her. Thanks!
Hi, I have a black araucana and she seems to be having the symptoms of a cold. I noticed slight wheezing, runny nose, sneezing and my mum believes she's been 'coughing'. Could she have Infectious Coryza? Im not sure but can someone please post some possible illnesses and maybe a website were I...
Hey guys thanks for your advice earlier on the plucked feathers. I managed to get Organic grain with pellets so that should keep their protein under control. But unfortunately, another problem has sprung. My other chicken Pearly (black araucana) isn't eating. My mother noticed that she seems to...
Thankyou so much for you quick reply! That is very helpful! I noticed my other chicken has missing feathers too but I guess its because they're the ones on the bottom of the pecking order. They free range alot and I guess I gotta give them more pellets. Thanks for your help! :)
So this morning, I went outside to play with my chickens. I picked up my chicken 'Zelda' (she's a blue araucana) and ruffled her neck. Only I noticed that she doesn't have any neck feathers. Her neck feathers are all gone. Has another chicken plucked them out or is this a stress thing or...
Whats a crop? Because she doesnt have a comb its just a bush of feathers on her head. Now she wont even stand! Is she going to die? I started giving her sulphurdim again.im givong her yogurt and trying water melon. But I will force feed her yogurt if she wont eat. Thankyou so much for replying.
Starting to freak out now! Slime is coming out of her mouth when I was about to give her vitamin stuff. What is this?! Please help. And how long does coccidiosis last for! Please someone help.
For probiotics, should i just give her yogurt or buy some powder from the fodder. I also have been giving her some vitamin powder but then i ran out. Guess i should buy some more!!!! Although, it keeps on talking about silkies with the head problem, my chicken is an Araucana. But ill just give...
