I have a Japanese who has been this way since March. The vet believes it is bacterial and I have been doing nasal flushes using a round tip needle through both nostils with a mix of saline and Tylan 50. She still eats and drinks fine.
The bird has yellow puss discharge and gunk from both eyes...
Please help. I'm worried about my young girl, she just started laying eggs and has had these hard, puffy lumps above her nose and this white sore in her mouth for 3 weeks now, I have tried Noromycin injections twice 3 days apart, then Vet RX after and neither had much effect. I'm not sure what...
Hey everyone. I have been waiting for Texas A&M to contact me because my PT certificate is about to expire. I had someone come out and test last year but with the antigen outage does anyone know of any updates? I planned to become my own tester but no new class offerings or updates on antigen...
Hello all. I have had a terrible stroke of luck lately. I had a raccoon terrorizing my chickens. Then we had some violent storms come and destroyed the chicken coop I just built to safeguard them and I found chicken tracks near the road (chicken traveled 3 acres.) I asked around but I'm pretty...
I found my seabright dead with her jaw eaten out rather clean and no other injuries. She was 2 years old. A rat maybe? Any tips on how to catch the little bugger?
Howdy. I have been putting eggs in this incubator with egg turner and the eggs are all set to hatch at different times. This one hatched first. What should I do?
Hey all. I have 2 Peahens in a 10 by 10 enclosure outside with poultry netting and welded wire. Little birds get in but nothing large. I found this girl dead this morning with her head up against her neck and against the cage. No sign of lesions, and no sign of outer illness (puffy eyes, runny...

I attached a photo of a rooster I have , any idea what it is and what should I do for treatment? I only caution that he hangs out with 3 other roosters, but the other 2 don't have anything on this scale. Thanks for any help!
Hey everyone. I have these 7 month old Peafowls I could use help determining sex. The store I bought one of them from said it was a boy, but I am having doubts. Here are some photos I trued to get. Thanks for any help.
I had a rough evening. I brought in my Brahma hen last night after she kept hiccuping for several days for observation. This evening I decided to try and give her some Tylan 50. While holding her down, she hiccuped, then freaked out, her head went limp and she started flaring around like crazy...
Hey everyone. I'm trying to build a 12x8x6 coop with attached run. I have heard people say a liner is a great way to improve a coop run, but I can' find much info about this. I was thinking of something like a weed barrier to keep the pine shavings from washing away. What are your thoughts on...
Hello fellow chicken folks. I have a chicken who has been suffering from bubbly eyes, yellow crust around eyes and nostrils, and hard yellow puss balls on roof of mouth. I have been using Tylan 50, saline drops, that yellow puff dust medicine for eyes, and today I cleaned out a large wad of puss...
I can't find info on this. But I'm treating my chickens with acidified copper sulfate and pomegranate juice to help with canker. Are eggs safe for consumption while they are taking this? If not, what is the withdrawal period?
I'm not very good at this, so I'm asking the experts for help. No crowing yet, but has a larger comb than my other silkie and longer tail feathers. Thoughts?
I bought this as a pullet/cockerel from a reputable store. I was told it was a pullet, but it's really unfriendly, and today I heard crowing-like noises when a rooster passed by it. It didn't attack it or anything, but I may have gotten hosed here...
My guess is it's around 6 months. What do...
