    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    This was what I shared above, which shows only quarantining has been done. I'm not a loyal email checker, but just checked and haven't gotten emails about any outbreaks, so hopefully it's winding down.

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    We had one of our ducks limping so I bought nutritional yeast and daily sprinkled that on their feed, probably a tablespoon to a few cups of crumbles. It took about a week and she started to lose the limp. After two weeks, it was gone. A couple of times a week, I'll do the yeast now.

    Chicken not walking on one leg, but acting fine overall.

    The tubes of Neosporin or triple antibiotic usually say right on them if they have painkiller. To be sure, look in the ingredients for polymyxin B sulfate or lidocaine, as that's what some use for numbing pain. The E ointment or A+D won't prevent infection, but would perhaps aid in healing her...

    Bumble foot - hen newbie

    Hi, Catriona, and welcome to BYC! That looks like early bumblefoot, so maybe the honey will work, but I'd get a drawing salve too, like here we have PRID for one kind. I'd put that on and bandage their feet, changing that at least once a day. Soaking in Epsom salts before changing their...

    Silkie crops very full, lethargy

    Hi Emily, When you say their crops are full, are they still full in the morning? Most chickens have full crops during the day, and sometimes ours seem to have gorged themselves. Some of ours free-range, so I sometimes wonder what all they found. If you're thinking sour crop, giving them...

    Chicken not walking on one leg, but acting fine overall.

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! Sorry about your pullet! Poor thing. Hopefully, it's just a sprain or torn muscles. Do you have any B-complex? Poultry Cell I know is pricey, but I think you can get cheaper Dumor brand vitamins at TSC. Just be sure it's got B1 and B2 (thiamine and riboflavin) in...

    Baby chicks dying

    You're right; no witch hunts here, but it's not something we'd need to know anyway. But now you're done with the three days of amprolium, so I'd just go with either of the feeds you have and water. You can give them vitamins every other day or every few days to help them recoup the B1 they...

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    The lady farmer across the road told me that the fox coming up through the woods past our breeding pens and crossing the road was going to her barn to kill rats. I never knew a fox would eat a rat, so we put up with the fox traveling to her place via ours for a while. Then rerouted it by...

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    When the time comes, check with your local Humane Society as they have free barn cats. We got Stella as a barn cat, and she's my little lover cat, but she is quite the hunter, too. When we first got her, I got her on camera following a skunk past our parrot aviary. You just need to keep them...

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    I'd need to buy stock in the mouse-trap company, lol. The only way we can beat them is just to keep them out in the first place.

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    Nope, but I don't put them where they can get them. We have them up in the rafters and some nailed to walls out of their reach. They are non-toxic but I wouldn't want them eating that, and highly doubt they would touch it.

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Pet stores, except for Walmart, are all an hour away from us, so I got mine at Chewy last year.

    Everything you need I linked in the article. Here's where I got the pouches though: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4D5XLNC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&tag=backy-20&th=1 Ooh, they're on sale!

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    That was smart thinking not to give her aspirin or anything that would thin her blood! Even without the Kaytee you could still make balls and try to feed her a few. I forgot to mention to add a little water to help make the balls but you'd have figured that out. :)

    Sick chick help!

    Great new! And at least we know this has nothing to do with her laying eggs! You could go every other day on the Poultry Cell now. Keep doing about 1/4 to 1/2 of an eyedropper of the liquid B-complex per day though. Poultry Cell for many days in a row can cause diarrhea.

    Baby chicks dying

    I'm very sorry for your loss! :hugs The heat lamp looks too close to them. Can you put a thermometer on the floor and check it. It should be around 85-90°F. Their feed should be chick crumbles. They shouldn't have told you to give them amprolium AND medicated feed, but don't think that...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    It could be she's been in pain or still is and thus isn't eating. If you can get some Kaytee baby parrot feed (powder) Plus Fat, that's what we've mixed in with crumbles, a raw egg yolk, a couple of drops of Poultry Cell vitamins for a few sick chickens we've had. I roll this into balls a bit...

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    We live with farm fields and forests around us. We could trap until we're blue in the face, and it wouldn't do anything. We have barn cats that help, but the best thing is to use deterrents so they don't come in there in the first place. These work. Just be sure if you do this that you...
