I apologize - I should have mentioned I called 7 farm supply stores within 30 miles - also called farmers groups and co-ops. No one had any. Most online suppliers will not ship 2 days - only ground - 7-10 days. Fortunately, I just received a call from a wonderful salesman from Bio-Cide...

My beautiful 5 yr old Rhode Island Red, Ginger, is having breathing issues from what I feel is an upper respiratory fungal issue. She is my one psycho chicken who hates being handled. I took her to the vet last Tuesday - where she almost died due to the stress of the visit - she actually...

Thank you to all for the kind words. I forgot to say, we rescued her 3 1/2 yrs ago from a tiny cramped coop and "run" on a large farm. She was full grown at the time, so we have no idea how old she really is. Former owner said - that one never lays any eggs - well, within a month of coming...

By euthanize her - you mean break her neck? The farmers around me all offered to put any chicken down upon request (they are neck breakers) - but, whenever I needed them, they were never available. I have a tractor supply 2 min. away - if I can buy something there and inject her - please let...

i have a flock of 5 hens and 2 roosters. After 2 wonderful years without losing one - I found out yesterday my Easter Egger, Grumpy, will probably not survive the weekend. I brought her to the vet with what I thought was a crop issue - only to find, via X-ray, she has a hard blockage in her...

All great advice. I remember hearing they cannot process dairy - so I give small doses in moderation. Thank you to all who responded. I love this group!

I lost a rescue hen 2 years ago to EYP so I try to look for signs of that in advance. In this case, my vet ruled EYP out after a physical exam, an ultrasound, and the fecal sample results. I give my flock quite a bit of Kale - usually on a daily basis, they all love it - except for this hen...

I have a 4 year old Production Red - a rescue bird that becomes a house chicken every year due to her bad molts. Honestly, she will come in as soon as she starts to feel poorly, a month or so later, she voluntarily returns to the coop - all feathers gorgeous and thick, and starts throwing her...

Thanks to both of you for the advice. Today, he has been vigilant while my lil' roo is perched on a branch sunning himself. Good to know they can give each other a rest from time to time. We will watch them both carefully.

I was wondering if other flock owners have experienced this. I have a 3 1/2 year old Phoenix Bantam Rooster (as seen in my avatar). Originally called Roadrunner, because that's what he looked like as a juvenile, we renamed him Braveheart, after he fought off a baby hawk. He is the only bird...

Hello Everyone - My husband went out antiquing the other day and brought home a buff Orpington! We always wanted a golden/yellow colored hen to add to our multicolored flock! We have her inside and plan to slowly integrate her after we make sure she is healthy. She is eating everything - but...

She is moving it around - when I looked in her throat - bile was coming up. She I hold her at an angle?

You are not going to believe this - We have been so busy feeling her crop, I did not notice she has a lump under her beak. My husband thought THAT was the crop he told me she was moving it from left to right. It is pretty big - I just looked down her throat - it looks like a canker sore. How...

As always, thanks to all for the advice. My hen is just over 2 lbs - I figure 1/2 ml. is a good dosage of safeguard,,,but,,,is it once or twice a day?

Yes - it is the same bird. This is my Beanie Baby (yep, that's her name). Throughout all of this - she has still been eating and drinking. It's just within the last 2 days, those have decreased. As I type this, she just ate some crumbled walnuts out of my husbands' hand. earlier, she had...

Forgot to mention, I have Safeguard 10% liquid for goats. I have never used it, it expired last month. I can easily get more at tractor supply. I also have ivermectin paste.

I did not test for parasites - my vet requested a fecal sample because this hen has been sick with diarrhea and lethargy for almost a month now. Just over 3 weeks ago, vet felt a small mass inside her, assumed it was reproductive, withdrew clear fluid out of her, and put her on Clavamox. 6...

I finally got the fecal sample report back - but my avian vet is off today and the on-call is not an Avian vet and cannot, legally, read it for me. They forwarded it to me, however. Can anyone tell me what this means: 2/21/2019 L 9 Microbiology results from IDEXX Reference Laboratory...
