I have a chicken on Clavamox tablets by mouth 3 times a day for an E-Coli infection. She has been on them for the last week and a half but I have noticed the last few days her tongue has gotten swollen and white looking. Could that be from the Clavamox dissolving on her tongue before she...
We only have 5 bantams (kid's pets) and one of them got sick last week. To make a long story short our 19 week old Rosecomb spent 5 days at the Vet and almost didn't make it. They did a culture & sensitivity test and the result was an "overwhelming E-coli infection". He had the lab test to be...
Thank you! Do yours have pointy feathers too? Is that a normal thing on barred rocks? She's my only one and my other breeds do not have pointed feathers so just curious. Thanks again!

This is my only cochin and I am new to chickens so nothing to compare it to. I am hoping "Ginger" is a girl. Do 6 week old cochin pullets have red wattles? The comb seems small compared to pictures I have seen online and is still yellow except for a little pink on either side of the comb. So...
