    Post wound Wash - Need assistance

    Does anyone have a preferred method / mix for a good post-wound wash? As posted earlier, one of my girls had a run-in with a big opossum. She made it but the possum bit her and ripped tail feathers out right at the rectum, so she's now dealing with a scab (Farnam Wonder Dust is great) and it's...

    Wound treatment

    Michael, Thank you for the great information. I used the wonder dust and it seems to work well so far. She is up and going great, eating & drinking like a champ, albeit, I'm sure shes in pain from the injury, but no more bleeding. I saw the Chlorhexadine on the shelve at the feed & seed...

    Wound treatment

    I had not really considered iodine. I was leaning more to a saline solution to flush everything out. And then some antibiotic gel for the would itself. I use that on the dog so I presume it's OK for a chicken. As far as keeping her in the coop, I can't do that because of the way it's set up...

    Integration of new & old flock

    Co-mingling of new and old flock; If anyone has any advice on this I'd like to hear it. My issue; We have one bird left from our original flock (Millie). She's an Americuana about 3 years old. She was always the beta chicken and my favorite. Always the easiest to pick up and very social and a...

    Gleet, dirty butt, impacted egg ??????

    Thanks. The more I read the less it seems I was able to do. I guess we were blessed with great chickens for the first 3 years. No the task of finding suitable coop-mates for Millie. Big D

    Gleet, dirty butt, impacted egg ??????

    We just lost one of our best girls, "Betty" a few hours ago and I'm looking for some guidance. I noticed Betty had a dirty butt a few days ago. The vent did not look like it had prolapsed with the exception of dirty feathers, she seemed to be fine. I did notice that the color of her comb was...
