Hi
I was wondering what kind of chicken medications, treatments and preventative measures you can buy to keep your chickens well.
And if someone could explain the effectiveness of the medication and what it’s used for that would be great!
My hen got her eyes pecked at, a mother hen just one day decided to attack her!
She was laying flat upside down on the ground when we saw her in the morning, shaking and muddy
I brought her in and cleaned out her eyes as best I could careful not to rub them too much
It’s been 3 days now, the...

A few weeks ago i noticed my silkie hen closed her eyes. Didnt open them.
This happens mainly in the morning and she can open her eyes by herself eventually.
She is not displaying any signs of illness.
Her eyes are not swollen or red. She acts fine when i clean up her eyes afterwards.

I now have a pet budgie out of the blue so I need a friend for it.
I live in Peterborough Uk, I can collect locally.
If you have a budgie going please let me know. Thanks!
Hello
Firstly this is not the site to ask about how to look after a budgie.
But anyway here goes...
I saw a budgie flying around yesterday and today my neighbours caught it.
They have no idea how to look after birds so they gave it to me.
I had the perfect cage for it (given to me a while...
Water may have gone down the wrong tube when i gave him water via syringe but im not sure
I gave him drops only allowing to breathe between
He is now coughing up his previous food and i picked him up and it was all pouring out!!!
HELP WHAT SHALL I DO
he is on the floor breathing hard
My chick, who i have been feeding water medicated and i think he may have drank it in the wrong pipe.
I gave him drops via a syringe.
Do you think he breathed the water instead.
He is acting like that
Do you think he will be okay!?!?
What can i do about him
My chick was fine on minute
Next he was struggling to breathe
Opening and closing mouth to breathe
Sneezes sometimes like snot or something comes out sometimes
Beathing is raspy
Wondering if me giving him water in a syringne has anything to do with it??
Will be be okay after a while
Hello
I need a list of acidic food or drink to give my chick.
(He has ate a pin and that metal is thin)
I am hoping to raise the acidity level of his stomach so it helps to loosen the pin if not break it on half.
I hear apple cider vinegar is good to feed. It is slightly acidic and could...
Firstly i know there is no such thing as a cure
But what do you think about this. Please let others know who would know too
My chick has ate a pin which is in his gizzard at the moment
Now we all know that vet bills are expensive!
So i was wondering if some sort of wire or something...
He has eaten a pin.
Surgery is an option but its far too expensive. More than a car. Its also risky because the pin is in his stomach not crop.
Do you think it could pass out? Could he poop it out?
Say if i was feeding him warm weetabix and water would it come out naturally?
Has anyone...
