well i had posted a reply and it didnt go through cause dummy me hit the enter button. Thank you all for suggesting the change in meds. the babies are doing so much better, i cant believe how quickly they responded to that med. I never had the corid before. Yes oxford had it , I forgot...

he said they normally had it should get some in, but i was afraid to wait This is a new tsc and they are not well stocked yet compared to the one in lancaster.. I should have gone to lancaster instead. it is powder form. I did loose a banty rooster last night and still have a hen that is not...

I went to tractor supply and they did not have the corid, but i got the other one that was suggested the sulmet. I have given it to them and hope that the break down of the dosage was right that i was given. told to us half tsp to a gallon of water.. Hope that is right. if it isnt would...

thank you for your reply, i am sorry i am so late answering, but stupid me i seem to have had a hard time getting my posts. I am really afraid he will either go to auction or be culled as it isnt getting any better, the odd thing is, if i carry the same stick he avoids me but if it is a...

thanks so much, They are droopy and some have very pale combs, plus the reddish brown poop. I started them on duramycin 10 yesterday. should i stop that and just give the corid? I even wondered if some of the food got moldy as we had them in a playhouse temporarily with outdoor carpet, the...

i ordered banty cochins 2 months ago and they sent some baby barred rocks as fillers. Just yesterday some of them started dying. they are still on medicated feed and havent been on the ground yet. Their poop is turning a reddish brown and they get a little droopy looking. i dont know what...

I have three 3month old pure standard cochin roosters that i hatched out of eleven in an incubator from my own chickens. I would like to get homes for two of the roosters, they are very nice and gentle I hate to part with them, but cant have too many roosters. . I would like them to go to a...

I have been reading a lot of the posts on mean roosters and i am having a problem with a year old cochin,, i have two roosters and the one is gentle and minds his business. The golden cochin is a pretty guy, but he is getting meaner and untrustworthy. He has flogged my grown daughter and also...

Wish you luck, i have a four month cochin and it had a bad leg from the start , but yours looks much better than mine, so i think there is hope it will get around. I did everything the chair the hobble the shoe a splint. He is a pretty little guy but now his lower leg and foot turns up in...

speckledhen. thank you for your reply i just got done looking at the recommended posts. It sounds like that could very well be what is going on with my hen. Three weeks ago a fox got into our chicken yard and killed several hens and a guinie i caught him in the act and when i first saw that...

One of my black cochin hens looked ill last night and today i left them out a while and in doing so i picked her up and on her belly there is a very large red swollen area. i dont see a wound. she drank and ate a little today, it almost has the appearance of some of the photos i have seen of...

thank you so much for your pattern it looks so much better than what i have made up. I am afraid i am going to loose this little fighter as she wont eat. it breaks my heart. I wrapped her legs in gauze last night and actually one leg has came down in the right position but the other...

i have posted about this baby chick earlier . I really dont know if she has splay legs or what is going on at this point, but i am desperate. i did the tape thing and now have her in the orthopedic chair sling. i tried the pipe cleaners also today with the chair. her legs are worse looking...

hello i am donna and was reading about the baby chick you have or had. it sounds exactly like a baby chick that hatched for me two days ago. even the issues with the hocks. when i hobbled her she did the rocking and scooting on her hocks and they are now sore looking. were you able to save...

oh my gosh i taped the one with splayed legs for the day and she has been rearing herself up and walking on her hocks with her legs sticking up in front of her, which has made them sore. i have paper towel in a smaller box and now just put puff tissues in as it is softer. . I feel awful she...

I am a little desperate at this point. the last three peeps to hatch have leg problems. one has two splay legs and two have one splay leg. i tried the bandaid thing . but they either flog around or are just sitting on their hocks they dont try to stand.. i just dont know what to do. I...

i have a bottle of nutra drench for poultry that you add to the water, do you think i should do that for these weaker ones? it is a nutritional supplement

one thing about it you can never feel lonely. Well this is day 24 and i just had another chick hatch, but am thinking these late bloomers may not fair well. One died in the brooder overnight and another is still in the incubator that is very unthrifty looking and then one from yesterday has...

thank you for your reply. I guess we are all critter people here. Besides my chickens we have 2 guineas, four small dogs, a pom ,a lhasa, peekapoo and a rescue shitzu that was a puppymill breeder, 7 yrs old when we got her 2 years ago and one of the most gentle souls ever. Guess they...

thank you everyone and congratulations and good luck with your babies . Thanks about the humidity as that must be an issue as i still have hatching going on. have three more so now have 11 but the one has problems with her legs. she sort of scoots and uses her wings to balance. one foot has...
