    Turkey with swollen face

    I am giving her tylosin. If denagard would be better I can switch to that. The tylosin I have is from the link your provided me earlier and I’m following the dosage on that.

    Turkey with swollen face

    No I haven’t been giving it orally. Just mixing it in her water. She has been eating and drinking like normal. How do I give it to her orally if it’s in powder form?

    Turkey with swollen face

    I’ve been giving the Tylosin but haven’t seen any improvement. If anything her face is getting more swollen. Should I switch to denagard? Does it need to drained? What else can I do?

    Turkey with swollen face

    Would the 99% tylosin be too strong for chickens and pigeons? Or will they be fine with that concentration as well?

    Turkey with swollen face

    Yesterday when I was working in the yard I noticed one of my bronze turkey hens face was swollen. About a month or two ago all my birds caught some respiratory infection which I treated with some amoxicillin I had on hand. After about 10 days on it and some tlc everyone was feeling and looking...

    Pigeons with chickens

    Very nice! Beautiful birds as well! This is kind of what I’m attempting to do. As far as feed goes, how do you keep the chickens from eating all of their food?

    Pigeons with chickens

    I’m interested in how coops/lofts are set up for those who keep chickens and pigeons together. If you keep them together please show me your setups! I’m very curious and could use some inspiration!

    Pigeon flew away

    Yesterday I bought 2 pairs of Damascene pigeons from an auction. I got back home well after dark so I left them in the small container they were in for the night. This morning I went to move them to a larger cage because they couldn’t spend the quarantine period in the small cage they came in...

    Muscovy hen with pronounced limp

    Yesterday I came home from a 4 day trip and found my Muscovy hen under the shed with a clutch of eggs. She was too far underneath the shed for me to get her so I let her be. This morning when I went to go feed the birds I noticed she was limping quite badly. So I picked her up and immediately...

    I’m definitely thinking about keeping them. I’d love to have some super tame babies

    Broody parakeet but no eggs?

    Sorry for the late reply I’ve been very sick but am now feeling better and have the strength to reply. Yesterday I saw her doing the tango with her now husband (I assume they had a quick wedding in Vegas while I was asleep) and now there is one egg I can see

    Broody parakeet but no eggs?

    I have not seen them mate but I’ve seen the male try. He’s done the head bobbing and whatnot trying to impress her but I’ve never seen them do the deed.

    Broody parakeet but no eggs?

    I have a female and male pair of parakeets and for the past week and a half my female has spent almost all of her time in the nesting box. Pulling out feathers, scratching around and puffing herself up like a broody hen. She’s become territorial of the nesting box and does not like when I go...

    Dog attacked Royal Palm hen, help please gory pic warning

    If you can’t stop bleeding cornstarch will do in a pinch. Give her some time. She’s most likely in shock and not wanting anything to eat or drink. If she isn’t eating or drinking in the morning that would be cause for concern and you may have to force feed/water her. If it comes to that I may...

    Dog attacked Royal Palm hen, help please gory pic warning

    Keep her isolated in a preferably dark and warm place. Give her some electrolytes. If you don’t have any you can give her some sugar water, or some Gatorade. Give her some food. Scrambled eggs or mealworms anything she’ll eat to keep her stomach full. Let the wound air out so it’ll scab faster.

    Wild Chickens

    I had a game hen I rescued and boy could she fly. If I didn’t clip her wings she would fly from tree to tree and almost never come down. So if these chickens are completely wild I wouldn’t put it out of the realm of possibility
