    There was some puss buildup, but after the antibiotics started working it finished draining and dried up. The wound is much less swollen and goopy now. I covered the wound with triple antibiotic ointment, and will continue probably 2 more days of antibiotic shots. I'm going to see if I can't...

    14 chickens in respiratory distress, and no vet in our town sees chickens!!

    Hello! 2 month owner of chickens here. About a week ago I noticed lots of sneezing and wheezing from 5 of the flock, and isolated them. I attempted to make a vet appointment only to discover, there are NO vets in our town, or surrounding towns, that see/treat chickens. As such, I am unable to...
