Cancer wasn’t even on our mind! We tube fed directly into her crop yesterday and today, and have just been spending time with her. I guess we’ll just take her lead. Would you recommend continuing to give her ibuprofen for pain and swelling to keep her comfortable? Any other suggestions would be...

Thank you, both for the feedback, I am attaching a few pictures from today I could get! It is possible that it was an injury in April, Ginger was the lowest on the pecking order. However, in the last three weeks, she has been separated, while giving these treatments. There is nothing sure in the...

I will try to get a photo of the inside of her beak, but no, there are no odors, and feeling like the swelling is originating from the base of her lower beak. Similarly, no discharge from the eyes or nose, breathing seems normal. I’ll be back with photos shortly!

Hoping someone can help me. My 7 1/2 year old buff Orpington is having difficulty eating and drinking, and the concern is becoming real. It started late April, following winter in Minnesota, I thought she had a dirty beak. Snow had just melted, everything kind of muddy. After several weeks it...

Thank you both very much, this is very sound and logical advice! I will integrate them all now and then remove my boy when they’re all settled and get him to a new home. I agree I feel that waiting until spring is the best idea! Thank you both again so so much, and so thankful to have backyard...

Hi friends, so here’s my dilemma… This spring we decided to add two pullets to our group of three hens… Those pullets are now five months old and I have a picture of one of them posted in the gender section for some expert advice… Pretty sure we have a Cockerell on our hands! Sadly, my...

Hi friends! This is a picture of our beautiful blue Cochen, approximately five months old/25 weeks. Cockerel or Heh? No eggs yet, No cock-a-doodle-doo doing yet, and wants lots of aggressive piggyback rides! Please help! In the picture with two is her little Brahma buddy, five months as well...

Great article, I snapshot your dosing instructions! Thank You thank you! ❤️❤️

Update! I upped the dosage on the Fenbendazole this morning thinking that maybe I was guessing underweight… then I read my husband your post on the coccocidia and he felt the symptoms were identical to what the girls were displaying… So today while I was at work he went and picked up Corid...

Well, Dilly made it through the night, nothing alarming in her poop, maybe just a little bit of pink, Still lethargic, eyes closed, moving around a bit. In the other Coop, alarmingly one of my hens is down… Same thing, lethargic eyes closed. She did not come down off the roost when I came...

Well I let the farm know where we purchased them, hopefully they can catch it in time whatever it is! Fingers crossed and hands together that she pulls through the night ❤️ Thank you to everyone for your time, expertise, and patience… I appreciate you and backyard chickens.com for being there...

Well she was vaccinated I’m told for the Coccocidiosis though that’s what I took The stool in to be checked specifically for.... I don’t know about a false negative and if that’s common? Pet safe is Fenbendazole If I’m spelling it correctly… I have been treating them with that for five...

We just gave her 1/2 cc Since it is day five and this was the reddest poop we have seen. Maybe I have not been dosing her enough? I will look into Wry neck...Literally she was bouncy and springy this morning early afternoon and now this… She did wake up for a few minutes and walked around...

I just checked her Coop mate and another girl for mites and lice and don’t see anything. I would be happy to warm up the pet bed it stays warm for eight hours and she can choose to move off of it if she wants to and it warms the ambient temperature a bit. We have about 30 minutes before...

It is 75° outside right now… And I think only about 65 tonight. Is that warm enough? I think it’s cooler inside… Though I do have a snuggle bed but I could get a little warm?

We just threw it away but had picked through it pretty well… I can’t find it. It was red like Sriracha sauce. We will look for the mites and lace but have seen nothing suspicious…

She just pooped a glob of red and other more watery poop. We are on the fence right now whether to give her another dose tonight before bed or just wait until the morning… But we are worried that if we wait until morning it will be too late.
