My pet sitter separated my hen out while I was on vacation because she couldn’t walk. I came back and and all I noticed was an extremely swollen jaw and hard ears
and waddles right away. There is also black discoloration that appears to be dying tissue. I have no idea what to do and I doubt she...
My chickens have roundworm diagnosed by a vet. He said to use safe guard that goes into their water but all I can find is the pellet feed. Only poultry it says it’s for on the packaging it’s for is growing turkeys. Can I use this for my chickens? If so how much do I give them? I tried calling...
I have no idea what do do. My egg customers said my eggs smell like petroleum and diesel. They have been pooping blood but no other symptoms. I just cracked some of my eggs now and they seemed fine I’m going to see how they taste. They have been barely laying and it seems to be spreading to all...
Starting yesterday I have been seeing some bloody poops and I’m starting to get really worried. They are acting fine for now but I want to try to get ahead of any problems. Could this be coccidiosis or parasites? If anyone knows what this could be and what to do please let me know I really...

I went to let out my 3 turkeys and found the coop covered in feathers and one of my females laying on the ground. At first I thought she was taking a dust bath in the bedding but when I went to pick her up she was stiff and her eye was inflamed. I went straight to give her water with hydrohen...
My hen has been being severely pecked at recently by my flock. She is one of the largest hens in the flock and there are much smaller young hens in there that never get bullied as bad as her. She just recently healed beautifully from severely being pecked below her vent. I believed this was from...
