Hi there!
You sure have beautiful birds!
We are looking to expand our flock and we looooove Faverolles: our only fav is such a trooper! Since we are not totally set up, how long can we wait before you stop selling eggs? Also, would you be ok with mailing them to Montreal, Canada? (I understand...
thanks so much for your reply!
we did try Ivermectin as a wormer... doesn't seem to have alleviated any symptoms... maybe we'll try to get our hands on some fenbendazole.
yeah, I've read that oil can be bad if they inhale it... we'll probably stick to DE from now on. Too bad, because it was...
thanks for the reply!
It might be hard to find a vet in montreal who'd do chickens... although I'm sure we could find someone not too far out of town.
The real issue is we decided before we got our birds that we wouldn't spend any money on vet care for them, having already spent a small...
Hi!
What follows is a bit of an epic post. Sorry for the length. We've just been dealing with these 2 sick hens for a long time and are at a loss for solutions. So we thought we'd lay it all out here and see if anyone can offer some advice. Both birds got sick around the same time, although...
Hey guys!
So apparently, you can bring back meds from USA into Canada!
My friend got back today with everything I wanted: it's Christmas all over again!
We started Easter on Tylan 50... I think I was more stressed out about giving her a shot then her getting it...
I also misted her with...

Thanks WoodlandWoman!
We have a few possibilities in mind, but it's so hard to find out exactly what happened! Our EE started a cough and an impacted crop almost 2 months ago... We massaged her crop, fed her soft food but the crop would impacted again and the cough never quit. She is...
Thank you all for your help!
I feel I have to had that we are dealing right now with 2 hens that are not healthy... That is why we are going this extreme to get meds. When we started our chickens adventure, we decided we wouldn't spend money on vet bills. But when Easter (our EE) started...
Thanks gawd53!
Can't wait to get all that stuff! I think I'm gonna be less stressout about the girls knowing that I can act fast!
What kind of sirynges do you recommend?
Thanks again!
I'm wondering the same!
It's gonna be the first winter for my girls - and for us as chickens keepers - and I'm not sure if I should put Vaseline or not, and when!. My girls don't have very big combs, but my Marilyn (cochin) still has some... and big wattles too...
anybody?
All I want is easy acces to the meds to keep my flock happy and healthy... until I moved to USA, my Santa is gonna be a good friend of mine!
That and maybe a genius idea to keep the water unfrozen by -10C...
Ok... Yep, looks like it's gonna be a big blank cheque! Surely seems worse since we have to buy all at once in order to "be prepared"! But it's all worth it!
I still have a few questions though:
corrid... which one? there's like 3 different kinds on Jeffreys but only one at TSC (20% Powder)...
Here we are! Almost Christmas and my only wish list is full of supplies to help me take care of my girls...
I live in Canada. Beautiful country, nice peeps, sweet weather (although it doesn't make it easy on chickens keepers!)... but here's where it stinks: all meds, from antibiotics to...

So, in order to be all ready when the oxine gets here, can i use a humidifier? or a spray bottle and mist it above her head?
You can use a spray bottle with a very fine mist sprayed over the top of her head 3 times a day for 10 days. Hopefully it will work for you.
Thanks!
I really...
ok... I will hold any crazy idea I could have until the oxine gets here (which should be next tuesday... ) Can't wait to get that stuff! We've been trying to figure out why this girl had an impacted crop and treating her all the time for that but then figured a few days ago that the crop was...
Hey!
I was wondering if someone ever used essential oils in a mist to ease a respiratory disease? I ordered antibiotics and oxine but I still need to wait until next week to get them.
I was thinking about using a mist of water and oregano oil as it has some antibiotic properties... just to...
