I will give her the 1cc tomorrow and make sure I am giving it in the breast tissue and do it for the 3 days. Thank You again!

Thank You!! When giving the injection, I just went right under the skin as she has lost so much weight she has no breast meat and I was scared I would hurt her, is that the correct way to give it? Some of it leaked back out from her skin where I gave her the injection so wasn't sure if I did it...

UPDATE: Along with my hen being sick I also have spent the day with my mom who is having emergency surgery to remove over a foot of her colon so I have not been able to tend to my sick hen like I need, cannot be in 2 places at once unfortunately. The Fish Mox has thus far shown no improvement at...

Going to go try to get her to take the Fish Mox right now and examine her vent. THANK YOU!!

Yes, I gave her the heating pad on low, but she refuses to sit or lay on it, only stand. She has stood all day, seems very uncomfortable to walk, that was the 1st thing my daughter noticed when feeding them today, she was walking very slowly and very little and just standing so she came and got...

I have right now Keflex 500mg and Doxycycline HYC 100mg that are mine left over. Then I also have Thomas Labs Fish Mox(Amoxicillin 250mg) capsules & Fish Flex (Cephalexin 250mg) capsules that I give off label to my dogs. My vet pointed me to them,said even though says for fish she says it is the...

What type of antibiotic do you suggest? I have bene-bac plus, thinking if I do an antibiotic it would be good to start that too maybe? I will start the calcium citrate today. I thought too there had to be something in her poo the other chickens were seeing and that is why they were eating it...

I have a RIR hen who is sick. I have 10 hens, all 1 yr old, all healthy until now. I noticed today she didn't take part in eating sunflower seeds I threw in the coop, she is my biggest hen and is the 1st to come running, not today. She looked unhappy, stood around with her tail down. I picked...

I applied a terconazole cream yesterday when I first noticed it just incase and today, it isn't as flaky looking so I will just use the coconut oil and hope that it is just dry skin. Thanks!

I 1st thought maybe dry skin too, but none of the others have anything similar. It looked white when I 1st noticed her, then I looked closer and took the pic, it almost looks flaky, that is why I thought fungal infection?? but I have no clue really, and it could be so many things I saw online...

Thank You, and thank you for all of your suggestions! Hopefully I can figure out what is going on with her comb soon and help her. I assumed since she has the smallest comb she'd have the least issues with it, but apparently not.

You are welcome, I just hope my dealing with this issue maybe helps someone else. I am still learning, I am no chicken expert by any means, but this was one of the most stressful things I have dealt with thus far since having chickens! Chicken mites would be #2, that is another story. I got...

She is my pretty lady, she is my favorite hen, so sweet she is. That is her comb, she is not missing any of it, just how hers has always looked. Her and 2 others have small combs like this, they are Ameraucanas. All the other hens are RIR, ISA Brown, and Columbia Rocks.

Just want to share my experience. I had a HUGE feather pecking issue with my chickens. I started with 24 chickens, hand raised them all from couple day old chicks. It started with small featherless places on just 1 or 2 chickens. Never had an issue until they started laying eggs. Because these...

I am still new to chickens, only had them since 4/17.It seems every time I turn around I am learning about new issues that can happen with them. The picture shows my latest issue. I 1st had problems with major feather picking and bullying, to the point there were some injuries and was a very...

Yes, actually I do! I have a deep freezer full of meats. Can they have basically any meat? I have ground chuck, all types of pork, and of course chicken...can they eat, chicken?? I did not know they could have meat or we would had been feeding them our leftovers after meals. Several others...

I just started the layer pellets 2 weeks ago when the hens started laying. Flock raiser, chick starter, laying pellets, scratch grains, and meatbird crumbles are what I have access too. I will switch to the flock raiser now for all my chickens knowing I can give this even to my laying hens...

I feed them Nature Wise brand layer pellets. Guaranteed Analysis includes: •Crude Protein: 16.0% •Lysine: 0.75% •Methionine: 0.35% •Crude Fat: 2.5% •Crude Fiber: 6.0% •Calcium: 3.7% - 3.9% •Phosphorus: 0.45% •Salt: 0.25% - 0.65% •Sodium: 0.15% - 0.23% I will have to check the date on the bag...

No, 22 chickens total. I had 24 but 2 turned out to be roosters and they are not in with the girls now so 22 in the main coop. I will get a picture and post tomorrow if I am able. I will definitely be doing many of the things that you suggested, thank you. I have more bad news. After posting...

Coop house is 10ft(L)x10ft(W)x12ft(H) with 8-2ftx3ft nesting boxes built on the side and run is 12ft(L)x12ft(W)x10ft(H). Is this too small? I have plenty of roosts for them, logs, I give them things like whole cabbages hanging from the top of the run, and we interact with them daily. I got the...
