    Need help with worms, type I have and medication I should use to eradicate it. Warning : gross picture

    Hey @Eggcessive , I just treated my hens with this product, but am now reading there is a 14 day egg withdrawal for Levamisole? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0362028X22087622#:~:text=The%20longest%20withdrawal%20time%20for,even%2014%20days%20after%20treatment. Appreciate...

    Hen with one eye closed, lethargic

    One last thing, @Wyorp Rock , since we quite recently got our MS diagnosis, we have read up on that particular form of MS, so we were looking at her legs, and they didn’t seem swollen? As I said her energy was lower, but she seems to be normal out there now.

    Hen with one eye closed, lethargic

    Thank you @Wyorp Rock . We gave her another day inside just to observe, and she suddenly had her appetite back, although I was unconvinced she was drinking much, but she had to have had some? Her eye also stopped squinting and she had a bit more energy, so, we decided to put her back with her...

    Hen with one eye closed, lethargic

    Hi all, I have a 1.5 year old golden laced Wyandotte named Ruthie. Yesterday morning I went in to scoop poop and noticed she hadn’t come down from her roost. Her bum had a bit of droppings on it (not normal for her), and the droppings underneath her were quite watery and slightly yellow. Up...

    Is this Bumblefoot?? Raised/long scales on both feet

    Thanks! And did the growths go away/fall off/you cut them off completely, or just kind of soften up and don’t bother her anymore?

    Is this Bumblefoot?? Raised/long scales on both feet

    Thanks @Debbie292d ! and @2ndTink I just soaked her again, and re-applied polysporin... I couldn't tell if it was hot since I was wearing gloves, but it definitely looks a bit cleaner and clearer today. @2ndTink I just finished reading your post - and yes, I suspect this is exactly what we...

    Is this Bumblefoot?? Raised/long scales on both feet

    Hello! One of my Bresse pullets is limping and holding up one foot. We took a look at her feet after soaking them about a week and a half ago, and didn't see anything that we immediately recognized as bumblefoot, more like the scales on the edges of the pads of her feet are raised or ... long...

    My Bresse starter flock

    Hey @BarnyardChaos I live in Canada in a pretty northern area, and I’m also nervous about their magnificent combs. I bought some bag balm to have on hand when the temp drop, as I read it is more effective than Vaseline?

    Head shakes on Bresse roosters

    Ya it does seem intentional. A couple of the Bresse hens with bigger combs have started doing it from time to time too! Pretty cute!

    Head shakes on Bresse roosters

    Hi all, This spring we hatched Wyandotte and Bresse eggs. We noticed a few weeks ago that the Bresse roosters ONLY (not the Bresse hens or any of the Wyandottes) were doing this strange head shake. Our experience with chickens is limited to Wyandottes, who have very compact combs, and since...

    Patch of Dry Skin found on hen

    Hi All, One of my 2.5-3 year old golden laced wyandotte Hens "Blackhead" has been under the weather for about 5 days. We have had to treat for scaly leg mites and roundworm in the past week. She did not show any obvious signs of either, but we treated the whole flock of 8 as advised. We...

    Suspected Canker, treating with Copper Sulfate, curious about withdrawal?

    Thanks for the response, we ended up culling bc the infection was so far gone, and the vet said the flock likely had another illness.

    Roundworms AND tapeworms :(

    Hello @Winchikn - I’m sad to say I’m still battling with both. However, due to another health issue, I now have a vet that will help us with meds moving forward, so I will be bringing in samples to their office, and they will give me what is appropriate. I tried eqvalan gold twice, and I think...

    Suspected Canker, treating with Copper Sulfate, curious about withdrawal?

    I have read for treatment you can do this dose for 7-10 days. We are going to try for 7 and see how it goes. I will look into Aqua Zole for the future/if this doesn't work. Anyone have any info on egg withdrawal?

    Suspected Canker, treating with Copper Sulfate, curious about withdrawal?

    Thank you @Eggcessive , I can’t get my hands on metronidazole, as I need a prescription. Copper sulfate seems to be another recommended route.

    Suspected Canker, treating with Copper Sulfate, curious about withdrawal?

    Hi All, I have two chickens (a Roo and a Hen), who likely have Canker (mouth and esophogus lesions, Rooster has one eye closed for the past two days). The Rooster has ALWAYS sneezed on the reg since we got him last spring, and yesterday I noticed his right mouth corner had some build up...

    Yellow "Slime-like" Poops, Lethargic, Pale Pullet

    I didn’t see your post, for some reason, @azygous ! We ended up trying epsom salt flushes, and although she was passing the liquid, she ultimately passed away in the night. My husband opened her crop as we disposed of her this morning, and all of the food she had been offered in the past 4...
