    Canker Treatment: Acidified Copper Sulfate HELP

    My previous post. Yesterday marked the 7th day of treating with the powdered METRONIDAZOLE as that was what I was able to get a hold of w/o a vet rx and quickly. She's made some improvement (cheese substance under tongue is minimal to none and she's gained over 100 grams). But she is still...

    Where to get Metronidazole in pill/tablet without vet rx?

    I've combed through old threads and links to get it are either not working anymore or the product is not available anymore. I'm on day 5 of canker treatment with the powder form. My previous threads detailing my journey so far...

    Canker Treatment: Metronidazole 20% powder and Tube Feeding with Kaytee Exact. Am I doing this right?

    My previous post. To preface, I'm not trained, this is the first time I'm dealing with this situation, and there are no vets near me and/or willing to help. I have a single EE in isolation since New Years for canker and started treating her 01/05/25 as soon as I got the Metronidazole powder...

    Wet Mash and Tube Feeding: Storage questions

    I work in healthcare so some days I'll have to work 10-12hr shifts. I'm currently tube feeding one of my girls who may have canker with no vet around to help (I've already made a thread for it). I have some questions to help me readily feed her with the aforementioned work hours: If I pre-make...

    What is this under my chicken's tongue?

    Lately one of my EEs has been sneezing with her whole body kind of like a small dog would and I also noticed that she tends to drop food when trying to eat. So I opened her mouth after noticing some brown drool and her neck all wet and I find this stuff under her tongue. Me being an idiot, I...

    What to grow in a grazing bed in Florida?

    After losing one of my girls to an unknown predator, we no longer let them free range without constant supervision and extended the run by 20ft. Since they'll now be spending most of their day inside the run, I plan to build a 2ftx9ft grazing bed with removable hardware cloth top. I occasionally...

    Missing chicken during daylight. Only feathers left

    It's lightly raining and noon when I heard a thud and the hens screaming. I go outside and I see two piles of feathers, some feathers on the barrel (which I assume was the thud sound I heard), and a trail of feathers that stop in the middle of the yard. Just my luck, it starts pouring and I...

    Feline Fresh Pellets and quail brooder

    Today I'm going to change the bedding in the brooder and clean it but I was wondering if it was safe to use Feline Fresh Pellet and mix it with pine shavings? It claims that it's "100% pure, southern yellow pine pellets." I've read on here that some users have mixed it with their chicken chicks'...

    Later hatch and by itself. Need advice.

    Yesterday on day 17, 13 or the 19 eggs I have incubating hatched and were causing chaos for one egg that I could tell would take about 24 hours pip to zip. Today on day 18, I moved everyone else to the brooder and this 14th chick finally hatched without interruptions about 2 hours later. The...

    Swollen wing on 12 week old chick [picture included]

    We have a suspected cockerel that we assume is 12 weeks old and breed is unknown. Two days ago right before closing the coop, I noticed that its wing was drooping and slightly larger and upon inspecting it, I see that it's wing is swollen and there's a patch of skin with fluid. I let my mom know...

    Tail almost always vibrating?

    I have a chick presumably 6 weeks old and a cockerel that is vibrating its tail constantly. The other suspected cockerel sharing the same space away from the adult hens is not doing this. And I'm not talking about the commonly seen wagging of the tail side to side to move body fluids from their...

    Are these what I think they are?

    Once again, my mom has randomly brought home two chickens so now we have a total of 12. I currently have them separated in a large space underneath the coop attached to the run. Looking at them and hearing them chirp, I can assume they're 6 weeks old? My knowledge of breeds only goes as far as...

    Cute little pullets...or are they?

    My mom randomly brought home these two girls(?) and she says the guy she got them from claims they're a year old and laying eggs already. I have them separated for now. They're pretty small and their combs make me think they're less than a year old but I honestly don't know much about chicken...

    Sand bath but instead it's all sweet PDZ...literally

    We have sweet PDZ stall refresher that I told my mom multiple times that it is not the same as the coarse sand used for the quails' sand bath as she keeps mistaking the two. I even put them in different colored containers with labels away from each other. She changed the sand bath for once and I...

    Can I break a broody hen this way?

    We have no roosters. One of our 8 girls is broody for a few days now after first laying in December and so far I've been periodically removing her from the nesting boxes inside the coop so she can eat, drink, poop, stretch her legs, etc. She never pecks me just screeches and fluffs up but she...

    Besides fake eggs and golf balls, what else have you used that worked to prevent a nesting box war?

    I'm trying to deter my girls from favoring one nesting box and I've read that this can be prevented using fake/ceramic eggs or golf balls but I have neither! If I don't have to buy some, what else can be used that is just as effective? That's if I have it readily available lol. If I don't, I'd...

    Is it possible to deter the egg song during early hours?

    First time chicken owner and our girls have started laying since 12/12 and boy are they loud! Especially our salmon faverolle. Personally, I don't mind it but my dad does sometimes and I'm scared our neighbors will eventually (idk if they know for sure we have them in the first place). We're not...

    Is lemon grass safe for quails and/or chickens?

    We have lemon grass that has dried up/died from the weather and I'm wondering if it's safe to use around quails and/or chickens in terms of bedding? The quails tend to kick their pine shavings out of their ground coop's entrances and I used to use leftover hay as a barrier to prevent that (and...

    Crop issue? Quail spit up water, lethargic, and dropped wings

    While in the quail run, I noticed one of the female quails had dropped wings and was closing her eyes a lot and walking very slowly. I gently picked her up and she spat out/threw up water which I could assume at first she had a little hiccup with her crop. I also saw her poop but it was white...

    Finally have eggs! Breed of chickens and who laid what?

    I have 8 chickens in which 4 are 5-6 months old and the rest are 4 months old. I'm pretty sure the younger 4 are easter eggers but I'm a bit confused as to what the 4 older ones are especially after I found some eggs this week. My mom got them all randomly from TS a month or so apart. In the...
