    Lethargic hen with tight hard lower abdomen dirty vent

    Thank you for responding. I am not sure on their age as I took them in from someone and sometimes they lie thinking you only want them for eggs even tho I say it is not important I just did not want them killed. I am guessing 4. I do not believe that I get eggs from them. I have never seen them...

    Lethargic hen with tight hard lower abdomen dirty vent

    Hi, I have two chickens that have a tight lower abdomen, dirty vent, and puffed up and lethargic. They have also lost weight. I have had hens with water belly before and drained them and it is not that. It is not an egg bound situation either. I had previously done epsom salt soak for egg bound...

    Hi, I am hoping someone has experience using adequan on poultry. I have a duck, a goose and a chicken that could all benefit from it I think. Does anyone know what dose I would use?

    Duck with swollen joints

    yes me too!! Yours doesn’t make sense either… I did the math on the cosamin ds at 10mg/kg Bonnie is 4.5 Kgs so 45mgs that won’t even register on my baking scale in grams. The bottle shows 2700 mg for 3 capsules so 900 each capsule 1/2 capsule is 450 msg so 45 mgs is minuscule. Am I doing...

    Duck with swollen joints

    Blind Hen is there anything that can help her?

    I think I have had her almost a year. I just give her a little scrambled eggs in the evening and I make sure she has some greens and right now she is loving tomatoes. I give her veggies to pick at etc as it has to be boring now for her so I like her to have something to keep her a little busy:)...
