I have researched for days regarding a 14 week old Orpington Pullet purchased as a chick from a hatchery and vaccinated for mareks and treated for Cocci (Etta) that came to me about 3 weeks ago. She presented with issues of not eating, lethargy and being cold (staying under the heater). She has...
I have a 14 week old Orpington pullet who presents with symptoms of having hypothyroidism. Does anyone know the dosage for thyroxine and or where I can get it.
Yes grit was peppered on the feed and is available to eat. The digestive system appears to be in working order, crop fills, crop empties, poops are normal.
Most of these questions I answered in my initial post. I have tried all kinds of food, from baby food to berries to tuna. Wet feed moist feed crumble and whole grain, no go.
no other chickens in the home except the two flock mates that came from the hatchery with her.
she has never been...

Hi! I don't know how to reach my local people here so I will put this out to all. I have a store where I sell chicken and bee supplies. I need more fresh backyard chicken eggs to sell at my store. If anyone is interested and in my neck of the woods please shoot me an email. I'm located in Los...
Write something to casportpony...Hi Kathy,
You gave me some great advice in the past on issues I was having with my chickens. Since we live fairly close (Los Gatos) I wanted to reach out. I am in the process of opening a chicken and beekeeping supply/gift store. It would be of great help if I...
So I took Trogdor (don't ask) to the vet. He said she was not egg bound as he felt around inside just like we did. He also felt her crop and said she was not impacted but that the lump/mass was either a growth like a cyst or tumor. We did put her on anti inflammatory and antibiotics (baytril)...
