    after crop surgery

    it was easy for me to get because my neighbors owns his own biotech company. our vet also recommended using chloroform. after doing research i found the ether was a bit safer. not sure how hard it would be to get on the internet but i am assuming you may be able to get it from canada. her crop...

    sulmet overdose?

    I am trying the liver and I am tube feeding water with electrolytes to the really sick one. Most of my girls are 2-3 years old but I have two that are a little over a year old. When the young ones were little I had a cocci problem. I lost 5 chickens. Nothing seem to work. Since the two that...

    sulmet overdose?

    Thanks for the replies! Corid does not work with my flock (the cocci on my property have become resistant). When I have a poo sample come back positive for cocci I alternate between Albon, Baycox, and Sulmet. The poo sample from today is clear so the sulmet worked on the cocci but my girls are...

    sulmet overdose?

    I used sulmet to treat my hens for coccidiosis. On day 5 of the treatment I had four out of six hens laying around instead of the usual pecking and scratching so i discontinued the treatment for fear of overdose. The last dose was on saturday evening. I am seeing no signs of improvement (they...

    how soon can you re-worm?

    i am not sure if i am sold on the pour on either... even though i found a worm in mary's poo before treatment, i have not seen another worm from her or any of the other birds. this concerns me because i read that if you find a live worm then all of your birds probably have worms?? Zimectrin...

    Mareks and now sudden death? What to do? :(

    i just recently found out you can send your birds to get an autopsy. i am on the west coast and UC Davis does backyard chickens for free. i am not sure where you are but i am assuming other teaching schools do this too. it stinks losing birds but at least you can find out why and treat the rest...
