Update on our frost bitten "Lawrence". Lawrence saw the vet on January 6th, and had both wattles removed (vet had never done this before, and it was very bloody). Please note: Lawrence's wattles were so swollen, that he could not even eat or drink on his own, since the wattles would...

To FlaChickenMan Thanks for your kind offer on the med calculations. On my previous post I made the mistake of thanking "her". My mind has really been elsewhere lately. Please excuse the typo.

Thanks to all again for your replies to our dilemma with this antibiotic. With my husband's help we came up with this ratio, however, please note that neither of us are mathmaticians: [The package says 6.4 oz. in 100 gal. of water is correct ratio for 100 mgs of the antibiotic, which is the...

Our White Leghorn young rooster suffered from frost bite two nights ago. His comb and wattles were affected -- especially his wattles which are quite swollen. I have been applying Neosporin to his comb and wattles and he has been taken out of our barn and placed into our garage in an x-pen...
