    Is this leg dead??

    No chance for a vet I imagine. Since he's been eating and drinking he's doing great but chickens hide their pain very well. Before you do any more with him, I'd give him some aspirin. Baby Aspirin is 81 mg. and a chicken can safely have 120 mg of aspirin per day divided into 3 or 4 times a...

    limpy duck!

    Hi! That's exactly what one of my two started doing about a month and a half ago. I bought this and mixed a teaspoon in about two cups of feed, plus put Poultry Cell in their water, plus put frozen peas in their pool. It took a couple days to see improvement and daily she kept getting better...

    Bobcat has made it personal

    Our dogs, a border collie and corgi, chased off the one and only bobcat I've ever seen here in a decade. I know they're here as there are people that get permits to shoot them and saw a couple drug out from the tree line. Those two dogs vs bear is a little different. The corgi runs about 10...

    Is this leg dead??

    There are tons of ways to make one. We cut a plastic kitty litter bucket like Tidy Cat or whatever it was to make it shorter.

    Is this leg dead??

    I doubt the door could break a leg, but he may have in his struggles. It may have also "fallen asleep" from being pinched so long. I'd not try physical therapy yet but try see if you can feel a broken bone. It's possibly just VERY sprained though. I'd keep him off of it for a few days. At...

    Temperature help please

    To test a thermometer for accuracy: Put it in a sealed Ziplock bag. Then fill a large bowl with ice, crushed ice is best if you have it. Fill it almost to the top with water and stir it around. Toss your bagged thermometer in there. Leave it for a few minutes at least. Some are slow to...

    Sick chicken

    I would feed her what @Eggcessive suggested: You could rinse her eye with saline solution. If you don't have any, you can make some: Sterile Saline Solution If you have some Terramycin or triple antibiotic ointment, you could put some of that in her eye a couple of times a day. That would...

    Please HELP, possibly URGENT!My 12 HR old Silkie can't lift or support it's head

    Hi, I would leave it in the incubator for another 12-24 hours and see then how it's doing. If after 24 hours it's still having issues, you'll have to give it a couple of drops of Poultry Cell or Nutri-Drench with an eyedropper (or small needless syringe). Just put the eyedropper to its beak...

    Leghorn German SOP

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow APA Standard of Perfection Leghorns are on Page 132 This is the American Poultry Association's SOP. For German's version, sorry, hopefully they are the same or almost the same. It's very old and past its copyright date, so is public. I've been told very few...

    Crooked Feet?

    Medicated feed can but not as bad as having them on Corid. I just don't use it long-term. I only use it on chicks that aren't my own, or my own chicks for a couple of weeks before I put them outside. But chick crumbles come in unmedicated as well. As does all-flock. Silkies are...

    Poo patrol, I need your help

    Hi, Do you have a vet you could take a poop sample to for fecal float testing? That first poop alone, I'd have thought was just a cecal poop, but both in the same day wouldn't be that, and perhaps could be she's got worms.

    Sick chicken for 3 months might need to cull :(

    Since she's making improvements, I'd keep going with her, as you hand-feeding her is helping her overcome whatever this is. If I hadn't seen her improving, I'd have culled her, but she'd be hard for me to cull at this point, going from just lying there to actually walking around. Have you...

    Crooked Feet?

    Silkies especially shouldn't be switched to layer feed until they are actually laying. I'd keep them on the chick starter until then. In our case, they never change as they're on all-flock from day 1 until they die from old age.

    Sudden lameness in an adult hen

    Hi, what breed is she? What has she been eating? I ask because there's a possibility she's suffering from a vitamin deficiency. I'd give her some B-Complex. She could have half of one adult tablet daily for several days/weeks. I'd also pick up some Poultry Cell for her/their water and give...
