    Tail injury with swelling (Updated: Marek's DX)

    Expopoulterer - all your experiences and stories and heartache are giving a lot if information to at least this stranger out here. I am so deeply sorry for so much pain in so many directions. And I am deeply heartened to learn of so much loving care being exerted toward these birds. You are a...

    Help!!,

    lol - I don't know if this is alarming but I will say, those girls are -- 100% understandably -- so surprised when an egg shows up. As well they should be; it is truly bizarre, lol. Hope she gets with the program. Poor things, imagine PMSing 7 days/week....

    Malaise or more?

    update. Literally <1 hour after getting some vitamin-water into that chicken she's back up on her feet walking around - and her huge crest went from being dark, angry purple to turgid bright red. Slowly to be sure but the biggest change is that this morning she was making awful plaintive cries...

    Malaise or more?

    I just cannot tell what's going on with my girls. I don't think it's good though; definitely not in the latest. Bear with me, a fair amount to relay. Flock of 6, 2 don't lay (one of these is blind, they're rescues; 1 has produced a handful of eggs over a couple years, the other none). 7yo...

    Wry neck?

    ((( sending lots of hope and best wishes. We had something like this that was awful for all... lots of warm good luck beaming to you ))). I feel like Wyorp and others on here are very knowledgeable; I have no wisdom to add just sympathy....

    At a loss for poopy bottoms

    Thanks, @Wyorp Rock . Forgot to check on the crop, meant to do that. But I think so or it would be bloated. She's been losing weight, used to be a honker now less-so. But... I do think she may be continuing to pickup since the treatment. I will definitely post a different-separate thread if...

    At a loss for poopy bottoms

    I just treated a flock of 6 with the goat fenbendazole (Merck 10% suspension, "Safe-Guard"). I used the 5-d regimen. Only one was symptomatic, gaping silently, but at night after I gave her medicine she made a horrible "ork" sound... stress+worms?). When you say "early spring-late spring"...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    @Wyorp Rock - she seems to be much better!! Wary of those kidneys, and also that she just seems to be done-ish with eggs? I didn't end up giving her more than 3 pills I don't think. She just got better and better. Now she stands tall. Not full of spit and vim as sometimes, but definitely fine...

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    Yes, thank you for asking. I have to get the phone in the meantime I have done the following: Cleaned up the buff orpington, soaked her in epsoms, gave her 1.5 mg. She really settled down, sort of liked her spa treatment drying regimen (I bought a hair dryer recently to defrost a fridge and it...

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    I found my old post and @casportpony recommendation that I had followed: 50mg/kg x5 dosing, and that’s what I started. Even though it’s the middle of the day! Her breathing is a little labored but not gaping now! I think I’ll do this with all of them…

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    I have the goat formulation (liquid). I have a video can’t seem to upload… But cool she’s sleeping now…. Gave bath with epsom and the reason I was bathing them all is bc poopy butt but prolly they all have worms… :(. In SoCal, it’s hot water runs on the soil and prolly worms just come up too.

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    Hi - I have a 5yo hen that’s gaping . I think fenbendazole may not be ideal right? But that’s what I have . She’s 7 pounds (wet). Dose please? Other suggestions?

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Thank you @azygous. How to get calcium regularly into a chicken who seems either not to absorb it routinely or just to avoid it. I keep eggshells and - literally - three forms of Ca out there for them! I've never seen her snooping around and taking the "wild type" but I'm sure she could and I...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Hi Wyorp. What I feed - what's working well is ScratchNPeck mash in a treadle feeder at will. Then they pick through that for the goodies. Which I presume, like toddlers, is where the nutrition is? So I reserve the leftover fines when I change that and the twice daily give them a...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Great to know, thank you. But then what would I taper off to as good regular background amount. I think it's long been clear she just doesn't get enough calcium for whatever reason. How much would you give an older chicken for health-maintenance?

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    My Spelty is so much better; thank you! She was on a straight upward trajectory and hasn't looked back. She is no longer puffy and swollen, she runs up and announces her enthusiasm for food; she is her old self. Thank you!! I will keep up the calcium. Is it possible to give too much calcium?
