I'm sorry your girl didn't make it. It is not sour crop, impacted crop, or anything else I can tell. she has a bad history of being egg bound, but she isn't presenting like she does when she has that, and she hasn't laid in months now. if anything it could be internal laying, which I would need...
You are so right?!! That's another reason why I prefer to try myself. I try everything else first before antibiotics. I do not use them for any reason, or just because.
Well, it sucks. This particular chicken's history is very complicated. She's old and I honestly thought she'd be dead by now. Latest symptoms, bright green poop, more liquid than formed. Lethargic barely eating and drinking and her comb is purple towards the back, like it did the last time...
I have a sick chicken and maybe two. Bright green poop. One is acting normal the other is not. I was going to get some tylan powder and treat the whole flock, but now everything is prescription only!! Where am I to get antibiotics now without having to go to a avian vet and hour away and pay...
Please help. Sorry for the lengthy post, but you need to understand the details. I am in GA and right before Helene, we had another round of rain and I noticed it was seeping through the pallet wood. (And yes, it's painted and stuff.) So I wrapped the whole thing in plastic and made a game plan...
ibuprofen can be dosed at 2.3 - 4.6 mg per pound of body weight every 8-12 hours. An adult tab of Advil has 200mg. If you figure out approximately how much she weighs and what your dosage should be you can figure out how many milliliters (cc's) would be easiest for you to dilute with. If you...
Yes, I use it too and live it! And it USED TO BE FREE. it's not anymore. I forget it's either 20 or 30 a year. But I think it's well worth it. You can journal and make notes and take pictures. It's really pretty good.
I have been more lurking. Update, lost three of my 5 hens last summer. Rescued 2 special needs pups from neglect and probably abuse. So my life has been in turmoil, trying to train these guys. Then in Feb I got more chicks. They are about 16 weeks old now, and they are still having trouble with...
I hope these are good enough. My 7week old starlight green egger. Just not sure yet. My other two (not the same breed) are much easier to tell if they are girls. When do the tail and saddle feathers start? Does anyone know this breed. She is much longer and skinnier than her sisters. Girl boy?
I'm so sorry. Poor baby. Have you given her fluids? By syringe (without the needle) in her mouth. She's probably definitely dehydrated. I have given my hens fluids and rooster booster like this. And being dehydrated can make them lethargic and they will die. I have gone out to the coop and...
