    Will Corid hurt if they're not actually sick?

    I have a silkie chick that had broken his/her wing about a week ago. The chick is acting completely fine now, but a day or 2 ago I noticed his/her poop was red. It was a light shade of red so I thought it was just the intestinal lining being shed. Today the chick's poop has darker red in it, but...

    Hii. I got 6 silkies from Tractor Supply Co last weekend and quickly picked up a bag of what I thought was regular chick feed. Today I noticed that it's Chick Starter for turkeys, quail, chukar, and pheasant.. I know the protein is higher than it's supposed to be for chicks in this feed...

    Hi. I have a hen who's ear lobe (on one side of her head) is pale and swollen. I just noticed it today, but she seems fine otherwise. Also, I found a big spider in the chicken coop this morning. Could the spider have bitten her? What do I do? Or could it be something else? By the way, a few...

    Angel wing wrap?

    Hi. Today I noticed that my male duckling (about 8 weeks) had his wing feathers sticking out. I immediately thought it was angel wing. The only kind of wrap I had was gauze bandage. I wrapped that around both wings and secured it with medical tape. He doesn't like the wrap on him. Is that...

    Chickens may have eaten moldy feed! Help!

    Hi. A few days ago I noticed that my bag of layer pellets for my chickens and ducks had some gunk and mold growing it. I was going to throw it out but never got the chance.

    Dosage for Poultry Nutri-Drench?

    Hi. I just bought Poultry Nutri-Drench to put in my birds' water. It has the dosage on the back, but it says it all in ounces and it's kinda confusing! The bottle came with a dropper to measure the Nutri-Drench, but it's not marked like a syringe! So what is the dosage? Thanks!
