    How can I get suprelorin without a prescription for my chicken?

    I am trying to get some suprelorin for one of my chickens. She has been eggbound in the past and is getting ready to start laying again. I don't want to risk her getting eggbound again but my vet will only administer it to chickens with a life and death situation. I know you can buy this OTC...

    My chicken is recovering from a predator attack about 5 days ago. She is doing a little better each day but won't eat on her own. I have been feeding her a little by dropper but only water with electrolytes, egg yolk and honey/cucumber water. How long can she go without having solid food?

    My chickens haven't laid in a week
