Here are pics I just took if it helps! She was happy and eager to get out, even took a dust bath (we take her out daily and let her have a dust bath and pick grass)
) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Blue Maran, almost 6 months old. Not sure on weight, but normal keel
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Acts normally and in good spirits in spite of her situation. Her left lag is completely...
Just wondering if I can get some info from the experts! I need the dosage amounts for baytril in water. I realize it's not the best delivery method...but I am seriously about to lose my mind if I don't get rid of this crap they keep passing back and forth. The baytril knocks it out like a charm...

I have a couple of little pullets that became really sick, so I gave them baytril...and now 3 of them have a lame leg ( I injected in the leg as instructed by my vet). The foot is curled under and they are walking on the top of the foot! The injection was given 3 days ago, since that happened I...
Sorry to just now get back to replying. I have been dealing with a really bad horse colic since Monday, plus a sick child and juggling work in between all of that. Unfortunately, I was not able to send the birds off to be tested. My husband unknowingly buried them with my daughter before I was...
