    Does anyone know the dose for Albon Suspension?

    It is a the type prescribed by a vet (a flavored suspension), not the kind usually added in water?For a very small dog (Yorkie) they say to give 30cc once a day, but I don't know what to use for a small, mutt chicken. She is half Silkie, half Golden Comet, but no bigger really than the Silkies...

    Chick appeared to die after drinking water...was able to revive...

    My Silke chicks are 2-3 days old. The oldest that hatched first, by maybe 14 hours or so, I brought the waterer over to yesterday to let it have some water. The mother was not coming off the nest. It took a couple sips and appeared to gag, but then stopped. I thought maybe it drank to quickly...

    Eye Bubbles, had Pox, possibly Wet Pox

    Hi all, My original post on my chickens is here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/newestpost/709981 But I have a question more about my Cochin. I thought she had Wet Pox, but really am not sure. She did have a black spot or two on her comb and her eye was pox maked and swollen shut (rest...

    Wet Pox or just Dry? Pictures included...

    I have had dry pox in the flock the last few weeks. But they were all doing really well. Then my sweet Cochin was found in the coop, with a closed, pasty eye. She had not eaten. None of the others had their eye sealed shut. I looked in her beak and thought I saw a lesion. It was very flat on the...

    Silkie rooster in trouble....

    Hi all, My best Silkie rooster is having troubles. I saw him walking kind of funny and found he had Bumblefoot. I didn't understand how he was the only one with it (checked the others) but treated him as I read on here with foot soaks, removing the Staph plug from the foot (as not very big)...

    Lost a young Silkie today and I don't know how....

    One of my young Silkies was killed today. I don't know if it was a pullet or cockerel, but it was 3 months old, a decent sized bird, not a tiny one. It was in a chicken run with 6 foot fence. I was at church so I didn't hear anything. My Mom found feathers in the coop. She said you would have...

    Wanted: ABA 2009 legbands size for Silkies (G or 15mm I think!)

    I am looking to see if anyone has any extra ABA permanent legbands for this year, 2009 that they would like to sell. I could get some off the site, but shipping is $5 and the leg bands are only .33 cents each. So I thought if anyone had some extras, I could just get them from here. I believe the...

    Wheezing chicken!

    Mom emailed and told me she just checked the chickens and it sounds like one of them is wheezing. She noticed it yesterday, but thought that maybe she was just hot. They were all panting. But she also was making a funny sound. Mom told me that she takes a breath and each time it makes that...

    Chick help...

    We have one RIR hen and 6 Golden Comets. We also have a mutt rooster who's father was a pure Barred Rock, but I don't know what his mother was. Here's what he looks like: When he hatched out he was white/yellow with eye liner and partridge like stripes on his back. It took forever before he...

    Bald spots on top of wings?

    I had some chicks hatch out earlier this month. They are about 2.5 weeks old. I noticed a week or so ago it looked like there were a couple of bald spots up on the upper wings of one of them. I thought at first it was just how the feathers were coming in and fuzz going off, but it seems to be...

    Help with Silkie information please!

    I recently got a beautiful Blue Silkie rooster and want to know what color offspring he will produce if bred with A- Partridge B- White? Anyone know? I know if you breed blue to blue you get splash... but I don't really know anything else! LOL! I love my roo, and my partridge pullets have a lot...

    Is this the umbilical drying up?

    When the chick hatched we didn't notice anything. I didn't even notice the next day, but, today, I thought maybe it had pasty butt as I saw something on the tail end feathers. When I got her out, I saw that her vent was clear, but there was just some mess on the feathers just a bit lower. As I...

    Pic added of goo! My eggs are hatching! Some help please?

    I have Silkie and Ameraucana eggs in the incubator. Last night, Day 20, an Ameraucana hatched out. It hatched sometime after we left for church at 6:30 PM and returned around 8:45 PM. We had not noticed any pips before this time! It appeared as though it had just hatched, laying there, listless...

    Who's hatching (hatched) Silkie eggs from Jan, tpflabs

    I have mine in the incubator and have about 8 fertile I think. I was just wondering how many fertile eggs most had and how many hatched out. I am so hopeful! I also have some Ameraucana's in there too, but maybe only 4 or 5 fertile, but it's harder to see in those. I am using a Little Giant...

    Need advice on temp setting for incubator...

    We have a Little Giant Still Air incubator. We have 30 eggs in it in a turner, which we just got. I read in Still Air's that the temp should be 101 on average, but that if you read the temp from the top of the eggs, 102. They say it can be 102 a quarter to half inch from the top of the egg. I...

    Silkie-Golden Comet cross

    I asked awhile back if anyone had ever hatched a Silkie/Golden Comet cross, but never got any replies. So since I've hatched one I thought I would share. It was the only one to hatch of 7 eggs... so we named it Uno. We are anxious to see how it feathers out! Looks like the skin of a Silkie...

    My first hatch in an incubator left me with one living chick, 6 dead

    It was my first time hatching with a Little Giant Still Air incubator. My other hatch was in a box with a desk lamp. I hatched 4 out of 5 eggs then, so I felt like I should do just as well or even better with a "real" incubator. We had probably two dozen eggs in there, and only 7 were fertile...

    Chick hatched in incubator... do I leave it in?

    Hey... first time hatch in an incubator. We had one chick hatch out. It seems to want to stay in the far corner as though it is hot. The temp is around 99.5, but it does fluctuate no matter how we try to control it. Will the chick be safe through the night if the temp goes up to 101? It is a...
