    Chick very weak! HELP!

    Hi, everyone. I picked up some chicks yesterday at Rural King, and one of them has not done well since I brought her home. I put vitamins and electrolytes in their water. I dipped her beak in water a couple of times. She just stands there looking droopy. I did dip her beak in sugar water a few...

    HELP! HEN PARALYZED!

    I need help! I’ve had a hen in the house for three weeks due to weight loss, bright green diarrhea, and loss of appetite. I dewormed her twice (2 doses-10 days apart), and gave probiotics. She has been doing fantastic. Appetite is back, poop is normal, and she l’s been acting like herself. Then...

    HELP. Possible EYP.

    Hello, everyone. I have a hen that I noticed straining one day, so I brought her inside. She has been having bright green, watery poop. She’s not egg bound, and I’ve considered internal parasites. Her abdomen looks a little swollen, but it’s hard to tell. I’ve been swapping up electrolytes...

    34-year-old horse

    Hi, folks! :-) I have a 34-year-old QH gelding that does not look his age. He does have arthritis; but other than that, he’s fine. I had officially retired him, but I heard that light exercise would benefit him. He hasn’t been ridden in years. Should I try light exercise or let him stay retired...

    Molting Question

    Hi, all! :-) My chickens are molting, but some of them are still laying. They’re currently on Purina Layena pellets, and I’m still getting some eggs. My question is should I change them over to a higher protein like Feather Fixer? I know it’s not much higher in protein at 18% protein versus the...

    HELP.

    My hen sat in the nesting box today but never laid. She has been known to lay huge eggs, so I went out a little bit ago, and I thought I felt an egg. I got everything set up just in case and brought her in. I’ve palpated her gently, and now I’m not sure. :( I don’t want to give her calcium and...

    Controlling Internal Parasites

    Hi, all! My chickens are kept in their coop and run year round due to predators. I do let them out when I can, but it’s not as much as I would like for them. A fecal tested positive for roundworms, and I wormed them with Safeguard paste since Wazine is no longer available. The received their...

    Confused about Wazine 17.

    Hello, BYC! :-) I received the results of my hen’s fecal today, and it was positive for roundworms. I was planning on deworming with Wazine 17, but I am getting mixed reviews. The label says that it shouldn’t be used in laying hens. What should I do? Any help is appreciated.

    Feather Picking

    Hi, BYC! :-) I’ve been dealing with feather picking since end of December, and I’m at a loss of what to do. I put pinless peepers on the two hens that started this epidemic, but now other ones are doing it. Unfortunately I’m unable to free range them due to predators and roaming dogs. We are...

    Hen Laid An Egg Inside Of Another Egg

    Hi, everyone. Three days ago, my Welsummer wasn’t acting like herself and wasn’t that interested in eating. I brought her in and added water to her feed to make a mash, and she scarfed it. She started showing signs that she wanted to lay, so I covered her box to give her some quiet. Later that...

    Probiotics After Deworming

    Hi, BYC! :-) I recently sent off a fecal test for my flock, and it came back positive yesterday for cecal worms. I am going to give everyone Safeguard this weekend, but I was wondering when, and if, I should give them a probiotic afterwards. Also, if I should, should I give just plain yogurt...

    Small Hen

    Hey, everyone! :-) I have a blue ameracauna that is 6 months old and weighs a little over 3 pounds. She is not a bantam. She acts okay and lays well. Should I be concerned about her weight? I sent off for a worm test kit just in case.

    Picked leg feathers.

    Hello, BYC! :-) I have a white sultan who has had some of her leg feathers picked, and it was bleeding. I cleaned the leg off and put no-pick lotion on her. Any ideas on how to stop this? She’s in with different breeds. Thanks!

    Frostbite?

    Hello, everyone. :-) I have a langshan rooster that got a comb injury from fighting with my other rooster a little over a week ago. I have been keeping it clean and spraying it with MicrocynAH. It looks swollen, and I’m having a hard time telling if it’s just trying to heal or if it’s frostbite...

    Last ditch effort.

    Good morning, everyone. I’ve been posting about this chick, but I’ll touch again on what I’m dealing with. Friday night we came home and one of my lunch chicks was acting lethargic. I thought she had gotten chilled, so I separated her and gave her food and water. She wouldn’t eat, but she drank...

    Corid dosing and severity.

    Good morning, everyone. I had posted about a lethargic 4 week-old chick yesterday. As a recap, the night before last, we came home to a lethargic baby. I’ve done everything I was supposed to. I thought she was just chilled from the water spilling, but now I’m thinking coccidia. I’ve been trying...
