I discovered a roundworm in one of my chickens poop this morning. I went ahead and applied ivermectin to all of them but I'm wondering in 10 days can I redose with safeguard instead ? Just wanted to double check.
Thanks, she doesn't have a foul odor like the reference for sour crop suggests but her crop is definitely distended and full of gas or fluid. But if it is sour crop then the antibiotics can make it worse..... she is having lots of trouble with her legs and falls back on her but a lot too but...
Thanks, I'll see if I have some tetracycline and try that. Glad to hear your girl got better, more times than not it ends sadly . I hope mine has a happy ending too.
It has now been 7 days that my favorite girl has been sick. Last Friday she started off by being very lethargic and I had found a broken egg laying in the sand under the roost. She ate a little and drank a little but was all fluffed up and didn't want to move much. I brought her inside the...
Sorry I haven't replied to anyone recently I was having problems logging in. I would love to go to some meeting and see about getting the ordinances changed . They were already thinking about it a year ago so it seems like they just need another nudge or giant push in the right direction.i have...
Thanks for your responses, I couldn't see any spots where it could of got under . It looks like it climbed it because the feathers were in the top of the fence too. I'm going to look in to getting a trap tomorrow. Do you call animal control to have them rerelease somewhere else ?
So sad, I have had my babies for 6 months and have never had a problem..... Until today . During the middle of the day I discovered my yard covered with feathers and my favorite chicken missing. I originally had 3 and the other two are fine. I have a 6 foot wood fence around my back yard and I...
I'm so sorry to hear that you have to get rid of your chickens. I live in Charlotte county also and I'm terrified someone will complain and I'll lose them. I met a gentleman a couple of months ago who lives in Charlotte county and has several chickens and a rooster an has had an inspector at his...
Thanks so much for answering. She doesn't seem to be limping now but still holds it up off and on. I'm thinking maybe she jumped down wrong from the coop on top of some abnormality like you said. Thanks again
Also unrelated my other 15 week old baby girl Lucy.... I notice during the day her comb and face will go from dark red to very pale but she acts normal. Then later it goes back to red. Could it be from the heat ? We live in Florida and she is the heaviest and pants the most .
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) RIR, 15 weeks, always has been smaller and thinner than others.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Limping, Hopping and holding foot up
3) How long has the bird been...
