Thank you @Amiga I wondered if the usual layers pellets would be wrong for her right now as the last thing I want to encourage is her having to lay eggs and I wasn't sure if those feeds stimulate this ? I wondered about getting her some chick crumbs to soak in her water and I've also on advise...

3 days ago i went to our 6 year old hen and duck enclosure to find 4 of my beautiful ducks had been brutally attacked by something small enough to get into the house through a tiny hole which we later found must have been done recently by a food hunting rat or mouse looking at their neck...

Thank you for the reply , yes im Mixing in the same water . I'm in the UK and was told injection wasn't an option for the tylan. I'll check what dosage he's getting. Will he recover ? Is this life threatening or the same as if we had flu or bad cold? I'm so worried for him.

Great advice thank you very much :)

Oh and I doubt they have been wormed as they're from a dealer and only just 20 weeks, ill get some of the wormer powder and the calcium tablets thanks again !

Ahhhh thank you all for the lovely warm welcome and the fantastic tips, ill do as you say and get the blukote (which incidentally my iPhone just predicted that word as bullied!) and I'll try the soaking to help her along. Poor little hen and we haven't named her yet as she's so new . Most...

I've had chickens for 5 years and just this week bought 4 rather raggedy looking chicks from a dealer, I took one as she was all pecked around her back end and needed some tlc but I've noticed that she is contracting constantly around her back end also and her breathing is deep, she's eating a...
