    Tricide Neo Bumblefoot/Distilled water

    Is it necessary to have distilled water to use Tricide Neo? I live in a small town and having trouble finding it right now… could change next week (life of living in a rural town), but would love to start treatment sooner than later.

    When to know to discontinue treatment?

    I think most of us have been there. We have a chicken that's sick and you've tried everything, so how do you know when to stop treatment and just leave them be? I have a Welsummer hen that's close to 5 years old who started mouth breathing and sneezing about a month ago, plus not eating or...

    Bumblefoot... quick question. Please help! Thank you!

    I know bumblefoot is brought up a lot here, but I have a very quick question. I've dealt with it before and I've been successful. However, I have a chicken who has the round, black scab on the bottom of the foot. After a long soak, we've removed the scab and tried to expel the kernel, but no...

    Broody Cochin Frizzle… I’ve tried everything .Please help!

    Please help!! I have a broody Bantam Cochin Frizzle I can’t break. I don’t want to hatch eggs. I’ve tried a kennel with no bedding, cold water bottles on her belly, making her get off the nest for hours at a time, collecting eggs early… and on and on. I love her and it would break my heart to...

    Wry Neck and Swollen Earlobe

    I've been treating a chicken for wry neck. She seemed to be getting better, then went backwards, hardly being able to hold her neck up at all. Today, I noticed her left earlobe is swollen (beginning stages... no debris, discharge, or sores). She's also been mouth breathing, so I have to assume...

    Humidifier for congested, sneezing chicken?

    I have a chicken that's sneezing quite a bit, plus congested. She had pneumonia this past winter, and I know once they've had respiratory issues, they're forever susceptible. She's separated from rest of the flock and in our basement chicken hospital. I'm administering Tylan, plus putting VetRx...

    Question about vitamins/electrolytes while on Tylan

    My hen is on Tylan powder that I mix with a little water and give to her by dropper. Can I put Rooster Booster in her regular water while on Tylan?

    Bumblefoot Question

    One of my girls had bumblefoot about three weeks ago. We cut out the kernel and I've kept it wrapped with Vetricyn and antibiotic ointment since (changing it every three days or so). There's a black scab on the bottom, but no swelling. Should I continue to keep it wrapped? Will the black scab go...

    Feather growth

    How long does it take for chicken feathers to grow back after being pecked? Two of my girls were pecked at pretty bad by the top chick in the group and I finally put chicken saddles on them. It’s been over a month (maybe two) and I don’t see much new growth. Anything I can do to help feathers...

    Best Water Bowl for New Coop

    Right now, we have a small coop and run, so we use nipple waterers, but when the girls are out of the run, I provide large bowls of water and they love it. When we get our larger coop at the end of September, how do I use large bowls of water without them constantly getting dirty. As I type...

    Tall grass—probably a stupid question

    I know this will make some of you laugh out loud, but I’m such a novice and want to get it right. I’ve read that tall grass can hinder/impede a chicken’s crop. Is that like “I haven’t mowed my grass in a few weeks tall” or “they’re walking through calf high tall grass”?

    New Member from Vermont

    Hi, everyone! My name is Amy and I live in Northern Vermont. We have 4 backyard hens, but plan on adding a few more next spring/summer. Right now we have a very small coop/run, but we're having a larger one being built. I know my girls will be very happy about that. Their names are: Scramble...

    Protruded Chicken

    I'm new here, and to owning chickens, so thank you for accepting me and being here for my questions. My 11 month old hen protruded yesterday. She "sucked it back in" on her own and is now in my basement. I have a cover over her kennel to try to keep her from laying eggs so she can heal quietly...
