HI there Jearl, :D The probiotics I use is Morning Bird (bought online) just do a search and you'll find it easily and the anti biotics that I have on hand are Baytril (bought online for fungal and bacterial issues ) as well as Tylan (more for bacterial wide spectrum antibiotic ordered...

a little update: I 've gone ahead and given all birds the dewormer and have decided that antibiotics arent necessary afterwards. I plan on giving probiotics just to balance their guts in case the de wormer took some of the gut flora away. I mixed the pigeon ratio so I used 1/2 tsp for 1...

Hi there, I've got a few concerns and I'm hoping someone can think of something I might be missing or overlooking. I purchased a product on line called Worm X . This is where I bought it http://www.allbirdproducts.com/newproductpages/AB10272.html. I was hoping to hear from those who...

Update! Only took me two years! Here's a video of the coop and aviary today, after all the renos! I created the video to help someone who wanted to see my set up. Thanks for watching :)

Hiya TwoCrows, Sorry it took me this long to give you Little Head's update. We've been busy shoveling, then again shoveling some more... more snow then should be allowed! As I type yet again more snow descends upon us here in New Brunswick Canada. It took our Little Head an additional...

Hi there, Little Head and I went for a visit to our vet today. They wouldnt give us the meds unless they could check her out so I brought her in. After looking and examining her, they agreed to what we already told them. So the vet figured another round of Doxycline should do it because...

hello, Here's Little Head's update after 6 days in with Doxycline. (sorry for this long post). The swelling isn't as severe but I noticed it has moved somewhat from the bottom of her eye towards the front of her face. Her eye still gets runny. She was showing some improvement but she...

Hi TwoCrows, Thanks for your input, time and support. Our vet has suggested doxycycline for mycoplasma which they said is probably the problem (over the phone). The vet also said that they can get us both Tylan and doxycycline and that they both target that bacteria (mycoplasma) in...

Good Day, Here's an update on Little Head after 5 days (going on 6 now) on the tetracyclin. Her eye has alot of fluid leaking from it and it sometimes comes out as little bubbles on her eye. There is now a reddish ball formed under her eye. I still spray the eye every now and then with...

TY -will do. btw, she s doing well today and no worse :) I was just worried to hear her little noises.

Hello, I was going to wait until the 5th day for an update but we're on day 3 on the tetracycline, saw some initial improvement but tonight her other eye was leaking and watery and I suspect some swelling started. She is sometimes making a soft honking/squeaking sound possibly indicating a...

Thanks TwoCrows! So, say if in 5 days there is no visible improvement , what would you recommend as another antibacterial med? I 'm hoping I won't need it but just in case I'll look for the kinds you use in my area to see if it is available. thanks so much

Hi TwoCrows, Thanks for your help. I'll continue with the meds like you've explained. I really appreciate your reply and Little Head says thanks I will update in a couple of days. Tracy

Hi Everyone at BYC, I'm looking for some advice on what I suspect is an eye infection. I went into the coop to change waters at lunchtime and I noticed one of my coturnix quail (Little Head) had a 'dull' looking eye. I picked her up and saw that she did in fact have some redness around the...

Wow, Thanks everyone for the input. I'll feed the chick the turkey starter food like before. Just needed some guidance TY! Tracy

Hi everyone, I have some concerns about the last hatch I had. There were 6 chicks that I fed grounded and sifted turkey starter crumble non medicated feed to. The brand was Shur Gain. Prior to this hatch, I had fed my other chicks (Coturnix Quails btw) seed and some purina kitten chow. I...

Hi there, We (my husband and I) recently moved from Toronto to rural New Brunswick. There is a what was a "dog kennel" next to our home which we are renovating into a quail coop. I'm posting a link to photo bucket so you can get an idea of what we are working with. Here is the link...

Thank you both for your words of encouragement. It means a great deal for us.

Hi there, Although this is the first time I post, I have been consulting this forum for over a year now and have had a lot of help with any issues simply by reading the history of prior posts. My apologies if there is already a thread that pertains to my concern and if so please let me know...
