Hi… I’m honestly not sure about the last egg, a couple day or more.. She’s not a frequent layer. I don’t notice an odor or think it’s her crop. I’ve had a couple chickens over the years with sour crop… they didn’t make it. the other chickens don’t have that lump in their neck/throat when I...
I’m sure it’s not her crop. The gland is pea sized… and when i feel her neck it is movable, like how the adams apple feels when one swallows, or how a gland feels. Wouldn’t show on a picture. She has no symptoms of crop illness. I posted this video a few days ago thinking it was respiratory...
I’ve posted a few days ago about my Bantam, Delaware hen, who has had some respiratory problems lately. She hasn’t really gotten better, and she hasn’t really gotten worse… Some days it sounds a little better, and some days it doesn’t. It’s hard to explain. However, I was looking her over and...
Here is a video. No bubbles, just congestion and wheezing. She is still eating and drinking, but seems to be getting worse daily. I have some penicillin which I did giver her last night. I am going to call my vet this morning and see if I can get some meds for her.
I do have penicillin liquid for injection. I also have some oral clindamycin for cats/dogs as well.. I have given my normal sized chickens shots of penicillin a couple time after consulting with a vet when they had a bad wound…I just looked and It is expired but can’t imagine it’s bad as it had...
I have a pint sized Delaware hen, she is very tame, but recently she has been sickly… sounds congested. I have tried vet rx. She is wheezing and sounds congested like she has a stuffed nose… or beak… I have a video where you can hear her, but can’t seem to attach it. We do not have a vet in...
I have a chicken who got her leg stuck at the knee. Her leg at her knee slips out of the joint (or something silmar) causing her knee to rotate outward causing her foot to turn in. (Making her walking on the lateral side of her foot,) I can pop her knee back into the correct position, but it...
I have a hen that had a nasty wound from a very enthusiastic rooster. (I do have saddles now). She had a deep gouge under her wing in her upper leg/ thigh area. Initially I thought she wasn’t waking because of the deep wound. This was approximately 5 days ago.
Gave her a shot of penicillin (per...
Hi.... we recently got some ducklings shipped... one of them is smaller than the rest and can’t walk or stand. She seems otherwise healthy, eating and drinking. I’ve done some research and added brewers yeast to the baby chick feed. When i put her in water for “water therapy” she can move her...
I can’t really move the nesting boxes, so I have just been collecting the babies as they hatch, 2 down, 3 to go, and will attempt to put them in all in their own private coop... if that doesn’t work I can just bring the babies in and put them under a light I suppose... It’s so crazy to know...
