I gave Tylan for 5 days, the 1st day being 1cc and the remaining 4 days I gave 2 shots of 1/2cc each day in alternating spots. The bird has been separate in a garage with its own food and water. The swelling on the cheek is not hot to the touch and seems to have grown a little in size. There is...
I injected 1cc. I think the chicken was just in shock from what happened because after a few hours she was more responsive and this morning she was normal. After her second shot she was fine, unlike yesterday
I just gave the hen Tylan 50. She seems to be in shock right now, is that normal? She is lying limply on the ground and appears to be wheezing now. I gave her some water and now she is sort of crouched but still wheezing quietly.
She was normal and active but a lot more skittish than she used to be (she would always squat and let me touch her but lately she runs off and doesn't squat) No discharge whatsoever and all my other girls have been fine (given that the sick one has been making the sound for weeks now). THe...

thank you. i ordered terramycin for the water - should i separate the chicken from the others so that she has her own medicated water? or is it ok for the other chickens to be drinking this water as well? the affected chicken has been making those sounds for weeks now but only began...
anyone else can chime in? i'm planning to go to agway tomorrow so if there's any meds or antibiotics i need to get, would be great to know.. thanks in advance!
For the past few weeks, one of my chickens has been consistently making a weird sound - something like a honk/yelp for lack of a better way to describe it. I searched on byc but didn't find anything conclusive and assumed it wasn't a big deal since my chicken was behaving normally.

I have hung cabbage, ears of corn, you name it! They are insatiable and attack it immediately. They also don't care much for flock block I've either bought or made. Best solution really is to downsize to 3-4 hens, but it's hard when you've raised them from chicks..
Major lurker here :<, but thought i'd pop in. I live in Queens, and I go to the Hicksville Agway to get all my supplies since it's a 20 min drive from where I am. I've frequently seen posts for chicks, feed, and hay on Craigslist in Brooklyn so maybe you can check that out. I have 7 I got from a...
One of my chickens started laying recently in the nestbox in the coop. One day I noticed a small clutch of three eggs outside the run, in a makeshift nest by the bale of straw we have. I quickly realized a second chicken had started laying, and troublingly, this chicken always escapes out the...
I've read through this whole thread and found it really informative and decided to try my hand at this! I tried feeding a mix of corn, some brown rice and layer pellets (my chickens don't seem to care much for their pellets so i went and bought a bag of layer mash and they don't seem to like...
Well unfortunately the barred rock suspect really does seem to be a rooster.. as evidenced by these pictures over 4 weeks later :(
in comparison to the other br chicken

here's to hoping these chickens are hens, i'm a little worried given how big their combs and...
