Silverflash my favorite first time broody & two new hatchlings 6 hours old. <3 Momma is an Orpington and chicks are olive egger and BCM. <3 I'm a proud chicken grandmother. <3
Does anyone have fresh green or blue fertile eggs in Hillcrest, North Park area or relatively close? I have a broody that need some eggs. I am happy to pay or trade for them.
I'm sad to report that I had to cull her. The vet wasn't sure what was going on. There started to be more swelling growth under her beak and never any drainage. I will miss her.
She's eating and drinking. My fingers are crossed that in a few days one of these remedies will work. Still no foam or pus showing. Just a tear drop once in a while.

Thank you for the reply. I will read the links. I've...
Thank you. I'm trying to come to terms with the possibility of losing her. I haven't given up all hope and will try another home remedy tonight since the antibiotics don't seem to be helping one iota. I'm a sad new chicken mom. :-(
I've seen two vets. Have administered oral and topical antibiotics (2 types) and the eye seems worse. I've tried two homeopathic remedies and an eyebright eye wash. No improvement. I'm so upset. Did anyone's chick recover with this malady? :-(
Thank you. I will keep you posted and post pics. I decided to cancel my weekend get away to try this remedy along with the antibiotic eye ointment. Fingers crossed it works.
Has anyone ever tried this method of treatment with success?
