    Chicken got water up her ear. Will this cause problems?

    I was giving my polish hens a vinegar salt bath to kill their lice. One hen kept trying to put her head under the water. I was able to keep her entire head from submerging until the very end. I was about to get her out when she dunked her ENTIRE head way under the water, attempting to walk...

    Will a chicken that’s had Infectious Coryza always test positive for the bacteria???

    I culled my entire flock due to infectious Coryza a little over a month ago, but I kept my two Polish hens that I had kept separate.

    Half my flock has Coryza...should I cull the “healthy” half as well?

    This is a bit of a long post, I apologize. I have another thread concerning my infected birds, but now I am concerned about what to do with the “healthy” half. So far the healthy birds consist of 8-month-old Dominiques and a few 4 year old road island reds. The ones getting sick so far are the...

    Does a chicken who has had Coryza ALWAYS carry the bacteria for ALL it’s life? Looking for some positive.

    Hi all! This question has been on my mind for a long time. I have a rooster that got this disease two weeks ago. The rooster hardly had any symptoms, and I got him treated very quickly with antibiotics (he only had bad breath and mild labored breathing). He is all healed now after being on...

    Buff Laced Polish hen has infected and crusty looking eye

    Hi all! So on top of having a road island with a respiratory issue, one of my buff laced polish hens has something going on with her eye. I’m not sure if it’s due to a crest feather getting stuck in there, or if it’s because of something else. I put her crest up in a pony tail this afternoon...

    Hi! This is my first time posting a question, but I need some help. My 3 year old leg horn hen (Hie Hie) had prolapse vent about a month ago. It was a pretty bad case.
