I don’t have access to a vet, parents won’t want to take a chicken to the vet.I do have amoxicillin however, its prescribed for humans and comes in a capsule for 500 mg.
Also should i force her to drink water by giving it to her through a syringe? She doesn’t seem to be interested in water or...
Haven’t checked for internal parasites, however i do deworm them, but the last time i dewormed them was around November and i was going to do it this week but a cold front came, so i was putting it off until Monday (tomorrow)
However, once i saw her acting like the previous chicken i gave her...
1.The chicken that first had it was around 3 years old, the current one that his this sickness is almost 2 years old.
2.The currently sick chicken probably layed a normal egg around a couple days ago, the other hen that died she hadn’t made an egg for a couple days.
3.Yes, sorry about that I...
Around a couple days ago one chicken had suddenly become sick even though she was completely healthy the day prior to her sickness.
The hen became lethargic and weak , had runny yellow stuff coming from her vent and her comb was also slowly turning more and more purple.These symptoms worsened by...
Normally yes, it turns black like that some times, and then goes back to normal.I don’t think its infection. But what i’m just guessing is its a protective layer for the wound/cut.
Recently two of our roosters decided to randomly fight, the aftermath wasn’t too bad.
However, this rooster has some yellow/white mushy stuff thats developing on or over the cuts/wounds, anyone know if this is normal?
It keeps coming back when i remove it so i assume it could be normal but I...
To get straight to the point this chicken had a pecking incident on the back of her comb.I added triple antibiotic ointment and sprayed vetericyn. Soon however her comb was almost like shedding.The texture feels like sand, kind of, and I can easily peal it off and the red skin/tissue will show...
Leave it alone, It will fall on its own?I looked it up online and found people talking about infection though. The flies are a problem for me too quite a bit of them this time of year, be aware of the flies because of how dirty they are or because they might do something else?
Could it possibly of been because of the fence? I searched around and nothing else is sharp, since his comb was big he might of stuck it in there and got it stuck and tried taking his head out but instead cut his comb.
Also do you think I could possibly place a gauze and small tape on his comb...
I put this rooster outside in his own pen each day.When I was putting him in his pen he was alright and had no cuts or wounds.After around 4 Hours i went to check back up on him and found his comb being like this, the bleeding had already stopped, however i don’t know what happened to him.The...
As I was doing my morning chores, i noticed some chickens eating egg off of the floor below where they roost.
I went to check it out and saw that it wasn't just egg but also some thing that looked like its intestines it also had worms in it.
I went to check it out and look at the chickens who...
Hi, I’ve looked through this forum many times before for help, but for this i couldn’t find anything looking similar. @azygous I was wondering if you knew anything about this, It looks as if its in small chunks.Thats all, Thanks.
She doesnt seem to have bumble foot, she does how ever feel like she is losing weight but not molting or loosing any feathers, she has had this wound for a while and we have been putting Vetricyn and sometimes antibiotic ointment and its been healing pretty good.About the eggs im not really...
Sadly , I do not have any bacterial infection, which would be a cheap but effective brand ? Also how does she get the bacterial infection, since she does have a penny sized wound that we have been treating for a while now.
1. They eat pellets, but I believe the day after we bought a different type of brand for the chicken food she decided to stop eating.
2.The other hens are doing just fine and eating normal.
3.She doesn’t have bumblefoot, I checked every chicken, since im dealing with it on 2 chickens right now...
Three days ago i noticed that one of my chickens wasn’t eating too much and wasnt walking for most of the day.This has been occuring for the past 3 days and she has been eating very little but still drinking water.She has just been standing still or on the roost for most of the day and it seems...
