    copper sulfate safe in drinkers?

    Does anyone know if its safe for ducks and cats? I just don't want to be medicating some of my pets while accidentally poisoning the others.

    copper sulfate safe in drinkers?

    My apologies if this isn't the right place to post this question, but one of my chickens has canker and while I'm following through medicating her, I'm also adding acidified copper sulfate to the drinkers for the rest of the flock to help keep things in check (1/4 tsp per gallon). However, I...

    Treatment for chicken with canker??

    Thank you! I'm going to call my vet tomorrow and see if I can get a prescription - they aren't specialized in chickens so it'll be good to have the name of what I need for them! My one concern with the copper sulfate (which I am ordering now) is that I also have a duck and naturally she drinks a...

    Treatment for chicken with canker??

    I was holding one of my chickens today and I noticed something weird on the side of her mouth, and when I opened her beak (which she made very difficult) i could see it was swollen skin from the inside of her mouth, and there was a yellowish sore on the roof of her mouth. She's still eating...

    Bumblefoot healing timeline?

    I hadn't considered gout! It's not something I'm familiar with in chickens - guess I automatically assumed foot problems = bumblefoot. I took some pictures of her feet for reference - apologies for how bright it was outside. These are both her feet, one is much less red than the other, and the...

    Bumblefoot healing timeline?

    Every resource I look up for bumblefoot only talks about post-surgery recovery, and nothing about when the foot hasn't gotten that bad yet. I have a hen who was thankfully very dramatic about her feet and marched unhappily, so when I checked her feet I saw they both had swollen angry red spots...

    Oh okay, well that makes it much easier! I'll definitely check it out. She's doing incredibly well though, so I'm optimistic. She laid an egg today!

    Punctured Crop - aftercare

    I'm not sure if our local farm supply store has that, but I'll look into it! In the meantime she is LOVING her eggs As far as how long to keep her on this soft food diet... I guess I'll just wing it! Thanks so much for your input. :')

    Punctured Crop - aftercare

    Any suggestions for how long she should stick with softer food? Should her crop be able to handle normal food work pretty quickly?

    Punctured Crop - aftercare

    I can't believe this wasn't my first thought, eggs didn't even occur to me. Will definitely see if she'll eat some.

    Punctured Crop - aftercare

    Hey chicken people, need some advice. One of my hens got caught on some wire that essential skewered her crop. It happened in the evening, so it was super full, and the wound was enough that her food was essentially spilling out. The GOOD NEWS is I was able to take her to my family vet who...

    Lethargic duck, not eating

    My duck is acting very low-energy, she isn't eating any of her regular food, and barely nibbles on her favorite treats. She's standing around with her feathers ruffled and looks just plain sad. She is still drinking plenty of water. One of our ducks died this last weekend, and was displaying...

    Chicken left a weird lump of SOMETHING in the nest

    When I went to collect eggs today, my oldest hen was standing in a nest, and underneath her was this kinda gross lump of something she had just "laid." She hasn't laid any actual eggs in maybe a year, and while she usually seems to be in fine health, recently she's been a bit sluggish, sometimes...

    Is my chicken molting AND laying?

    Whew! Well that's a huge relief then! Thanks so much. :') I've been making sure to give them some protein-rich snacks to help with molting, but I fully expected to get no eggs from the molting ladies! Heehee, thank you! I actually have a chicken blog... so I posted some pictures of chickens...

    Is my chicken molting AND laying?

    I am so confused, two of my birds went through molts and didn't lay for at LEAST six weeks, which I considered totally normal and fine. Then, my Easter Egger started a soft molt... but then began laying again after only three weeks. And just recently my Barred Rock started laying after just over...

    I think my baby is sick, please help!

    Nothing but chick feed, you are correct. There should be no dampness or mold; there certainly isn't any I'm aware of. As for bedding, they just have newspaper, so there shouldn't be any dust. They did have wood shavings for a little while, but it got gross fast and they made clumps out of it, so...

    I think my baby is sick, please help!

    Her bum is clean, no pasting at all. And all of our chickens seem to be in good health, nobody else has been sneezing or anything, and they're the only one's she's been around. She was outside for several hours a few days ago, but it was a really warm day, and she didn't act sick until today...
