    sick hen - need advice

    Good point Eggcessive, it could be cocci. It is opportunistic, meaning when an animal is stressed thus immune system drops then cocci goes to town. Probably not a bad idea to have a fresh fecal sample taken for the Vet to examin if she is not eating and especially not drinking after trying...

    sick hen - need advice

    Here is a great link for help. I think your chicken is/was in shock and very stressed. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/710180/chicken-in-shock I would not put her in with the other chickens. They may peck at her eye or simply just peck at her because she is lethargic and week. This will only...

    Thanks Apple. I forgot to look at Avian Super Pack. I'll do that. Also I told you guys wrong. I don't have a Tractor Supply TSC in town. It sold out to Orscheln's and I forget. Took me a decade to quit calling it Wheelers so I'm a bit slow. lol. Here is the feed I am/was giving them from...

    That makes total sense, to put this product on the grain. I put 1/4 tsp on her grain, and she actually pecked it out. So it must taste good. She is maintaining standing most of the time, but not perching, as she is still unable to be comfortable while perching (wobbles). I will give her a...

    Tractor Supply Co. all purpose grain food is the main food source, especially in the winter, just now switching to layer crumbles, because young chickens just now starting to lay. In the summer they get squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, watermelon etc. surplus from the garden. They are also free...

    Thanks Apply, I found Nutri Drench 4 oz for 7.95. http://www.valleyvet.com Do you know if Tractor Supply carries this? I can go there this afternoon and would much rather purchase there than on the internet. Didn't know if it was worth my trouble to look for it at TS or just go ahead and...

    Yep, I've got her on quality whole meat cat food and chicken feed all purpose. I'll try the Save-A-chick if Tractor supply has it on hand, otherwise I'll get the Poly Vi Sol vitamins without iron 2 drops a day is what I read for dosage. Boy, I sure hope she does not have Mericks, from what I...

    I Need Help Imballanced Hen Otherwise Healthy Looking

    About 3 weeks ago, I found my top hen, a 5-year-old RR, unable to roost, hiding in the corner and acts lame or balance issue. But nothing was found for broken bones or foot problems, nor does she seem to favor a particular leg. I brought her in the house in a pen and she has a great appetite...

    Fly Strike Picture of Wound Progression of Healing

    Here is a site that shows Tractor Supply does sell syringes and needles. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/search/veterinary-syringes I've never purchased them at TS. I get mine at Lambert Vet Supply, but they come in packs of 100, so unless your a breeder, you probably don't need that many...

    Fly Strike Picture of Wound Progression of Healing

    I'd start her on Duramycin-10 and Vitamins and Electrolytes Solution (both found at TC for under $10 and long shelf life). My hen too got finicky. I found that she liked fresh soft bread crumbs and small little dog kibble.

    Fly Strike Picture of Wound Progression of Healing

    I did not take my chicken to the Vet's for the fly-strike. I just happen to have antibiotics, Epsom salt and all I needed on hand(see last paragraph). I had Gentocin, left over from a puppy with a hernia repair that did not need all the meds prescription and it has a fairly long shelf life, so...

    Good to know Panacur is not a prescription only. I did not know that. Thanks Dawg.

    Fly Strike Picture of Wound Progression of Healing

    I got the syringes and needles from my vet, but you can order needles and syringes on-line. I know Lambert Vet Supply sales them at a reasonable cost but you have to get a whole box, so probably best to just get them at your Vet. You may find them at your local TS or Feed Store too. Tell your...

    worming advice please

    Here is a good link, especially the link within a link that Dawg gives, that explains why the worming is to be given intermittently. I highly recommend reading all of it and the links provided. I've never had gapeworms or MD but I did find the information there fascinating...

    Constantly breaking blood feathers.. at my wits end. Appreciate any advice!

    This may be a stretch, but had you in the recent past, say even up to 2 months ago, treated him with Panicur or Safeguard(Fenbendenzole)? ".........Another drug, fenbendazole (Panacur) may work well to clear many birds, however, it can cause feather deformities.........."...

    worming advice please

    Panacur and Safeguard are both exactly the same. They are the same active ingredient (Fenbendazole) and the same strength(s) and even manufactured by the same company (Intervet). The main difference (as far as I can discern) is that Panacur is available by prescription or through a Veterinarian...

    Just an update: My hen is doing very well and it is now almost November. She did have water belly or acities and we drained her the following months ourselves with large syringe and sucked it out. Her abdomen was so full it looked as if it were going to explode. Prior to draining, she could...
