I had 2 pullets die with something like a wierd paralysis. One leg straight in front, the other straight back. I tried antibiotics of various classes to no avail. I hope you don't have this, but if you do... I couldn't fix it. One quietly died after lots of care, and I had to kill the...

Good news for owners of chickens with compound fractures of the leg! I was on a ride-along with my horse vet yesterday. We stopped by a house to do horse work.. and met the owners of a rooster who had broken his leg a couple of weeks ago. They had gently cleaned the skin of the leg, and...

People may say that the meat birds are prone to this due to weight.. But I had 2 that died with this problem. I gave 5 different classes of antibiotic (yes, a fortune) over a 4 month period for coccidiosis issues. I don't know if it stemmed from the respiratory problem leaving them prone to...

I have a young hen with itchy face and ears. It's interesting about the possiblilties. But since she is flakey and itchy there I first used a Sevin type of dust. Then a little mineral oil. Today it is less scaley, and I found extra peanut oil and used that instead. I cannot see olive oil...

Do you remember in All Creatures Great and Small... James Herriot pushed a cow's uterus back in and held it inside with a wine bottle filled with warm water. Is it possible to push it back with a warm round smallish stone? Would it stay for a while or have the attaching ligaments torn. I...

Over the past week or two I have posted lots of questions on bumblefoot and others have questions also. Also, look for weakness in walking etc. Everyone seems to be getting whatever this is. I have lost a hen 2 weeks ago to weakness starting with limping then couldn't walk at all. Then...

I am very interested in what you find.. I am afraid to cut my very swollen chicken foot.. there is no scab on the bottom. I am in the process if giving her penicillin injections. today is the 2nd shot. I have posted this under other posts and replied to other foot questions over the past few...

Mine had that awful mustard colored poo... and with the yohgurt and a little time seemed to get over it.

Heavens, the "hollowed out" part sounds like aliens were there. Other thoughts rats?? I know when my hen prolapsed, her friends helped pull out more of her intestines and I found a 12 inch long piece of her insides in the coop. I have no other ideas. Somewhere I read a sticky or post...

I got mine from my horse vet. You might try calling a regular vet, but they will want to see the little sick one, and there goes the $$$. I know some of the horse catalogs sell it.. but darn it I think you need a prescription! A horse vet may me more willing to sell you a syringe 3cc full...

I tried antibiotics.. duramycin is cheap and avail at the feed store(I don't recall the dose, it's here in "search". I added to the water, and food (from the water).. and if they have a bad disease (Coryza) then go with Sulmet (which I could get from another store, but other posters prefer...

My last prolapsed vent was assisted into bloodyness by her friends pecking at it. So, even if you get it back inside with prep H and sugar, it could be a very open internal wound. Yes, try antibiotic, so at least the "bugs" are kept at bay.

I'll pipe in before the experts get to your post. Separate (obviously, sorry). Keep snuggy warm, temp with tasty food... egg, fruit, anything to stimulate the chick to live. Perhaps attention from you as she sits in your hand.... talk to her etc. so she doesn't feel alone in the...

I have no GOOD suggestions. But I have had (2) 5 month old pullets who had begun to walk with a limp, then within a couple of days couldn't walk at all.. they had to flop around with their wings doing the work. I tried terramycin, tylan 50, Sulmet (supposed to kill coryza and friends) ...

Ohhhhhhh! Poor little Henny Penny! Poor you!

Your post is so sad and depressing!!!!!!!!! What is happening to our little chickens these days???? Everyone is having them die and is here clammoring for help and no one knows what to suggest other than common sense stuff we probably are already doing. So upsetting!

I had to use it for a week, then again for another week a short time later. It took some time to get this bug out of their system. I don't have access to Corid. Perhaps I will try for it if I need it again!!! I also made sure they got yoghurt. But perhaps thats only good for bacteria, but...

I have read other posts asking this question. No one knows! I had a Maran hen who was 4 months old... and found her drifting out.. and then "gone" a few minutes later. All very quiet. She had been around some sick chickens and may have had a respiratory problem that was coccidiosis. I...

I just began using it 2 weeeks ago. I will be on a monthly routine because I have issues. I don't know yet how it is working. It is claimed to make my grey eggs more green. One day, voila, I had a very green egg. Go on the Novaris web site and look around for the pig and chicken info, and...

I brought home 4 chicks who infected my other 3 hens. I put them on Sulmet (after finding no luck with the teramycin drugs) ... that seemed to certainly help the sneezing and nose goo and the smell. it took a few days but then I had other issues and don't know if they are related to the...
