    swollen watery eye

    I have a two month old pullet who has a swollen eye in the eye socket. Almost seems as though her tear duct is blocked or something. She was sniffly last week so she has been on Tylan 50 for a week. This eye has gotten worse. I thought that last week it was just from her being sneezy, but now I...

    Silkie pullet filled with air? blood?

    Noticed a few days ago that my pullet silkie had a puffy chest. I thought that it was just her feathers filling in. Tonight when I went to put her up for the night I noticed that her puffy chest was not her feathers but something else. It almost felt like her crop was filled with air. I felt...

    Not sure what else to do "Sour Crop"

    I have given her Monistat, Lotramin, and lately Nystatin. It has gone away after each one, but then it comes back and the previous meds do not work. Should I maybe try an antibiotic???? I know that they arent anti fungals, but could there maybe be something else going on??

    Drunk/halucinating hen COULD IT BE MAREKS?

    I posted earlier about my hen I have that has been really lethargic. She is a 1 yo serama, eats, drinks, her poop has gotten much better since I put her on nutri drench (small doses twice a day). I took her off the tylan (orally) that she had been on for two weeks. Yesterday she seemed much...

    Should I move her?

    My silkie is on day 14 and she wont stop pooping in her nest. I am wondering if maybe I should move her and her nest a bit farther back in the dog crate that they are in. She set up her eggs in the middle of the crate which is about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet. Any suggestions?

    Green poop and worms vs cecal poop

    SIGH My girl that just got over gapeworm apparently has a secondary infection from them and is now on amoxy. Her poop is bright green and has been for a while. I know that this means that she is probably starving, but she just has never been a big eater. Now that she is sick she only wants...

    1st broody hen!

    As you can imagine I am super excited! Do I need to move her or can I just keep her in the coop? She is on the one nest that we have, they only use the one and not the other one we have. I hope that they other girls will lay in the other one while she is on her eggs. If I do move her...
