I've found it nearly impossible to find tylan. I was able to find the liquid on Amazon. Everywhere I look for the powder, a prescription is required. What's up with that? Anyone else having this problem? Thanks, Michelle

I just noticed today my 4 month old pullet had a swollen face with eyes shut. Tail pointed down and lethargic. I took her out of the coop and noticed she is quite thin. I haven't noticed any other symptoms. I gave her some nutridrench and VetRx. She is now in a box in my guest bedroom. I...

In July of last year, I had an outbreak of fowl pox in my small flock. I took all of the chickens to the vet, and had her vaccinate all of them. Now, some of them appear to have fowl pox ! Is this possible ? I did some reading, and did not look for any "taking" in the vaccinated area. Also...

I have 4 very precious eggs in my current LG still air incubator. I was caught unprepared when my hens decided to lay eggs again, and I quickly set up my incubator and placed 4 eggs inside. Today is day 4 and at least 2 are fertile, yippee !! I want to give these eggs the best chance possible...

I have spent hundreds of dollars at the vet. My silkie chickens are dying one by one of coccidia. I had gone several weeks without a death, then had a sudden death today. He died at the vet in my lap. I have used corid, sulfamet, sulfatrim and still he died. I did not use the two sulfa...

There is coccidia in my flock. Two hens died, and one was very ill. The vet prescribed sulfatrim, which is given orally to each individual chicken based on weight. I did not have quick access to sulmet. I decided to give my sick hen the sulfatrim while I ordered sulmet and corrid online. My...

Our 3 year old white silkie rooster died yesterday. He had been successfully fighting off dry avian pox, then I noticed he was lethargic. After 2 days, I rushed him to the vet. He was severely anemic. He was hospitalized, tube fed and transfused. This was on Friday. He seemed to be getting...

Discovered 5 fertile eggs in my silkie hen's nest on 6/15. Figured them to be 1 week or less. I marked these eggs with the date. Exactly two weeks later, two eggs hatched. One day later, my hen left the nest, but sat on it at night. The following day, I put the eggs in my incubator. I...

I have 5 silkie hens and one rooster housed together in a wooden hen house with shavings, and a ladder that goes down into the fully wired run. The bottom is covered with dirt. I had been feeding a mixture of scratch, chick starter and oyster shell. I was told that chick starter has more...

Hello all, My silkie hen was sitting on 5 fertile eggs (I candled them) that appeared to be the same "age" (sneaky hen started sitting when I was not around, and husband did not collect eggs from nest). Two of the eggs hatched on Tuesday (two days ago) and she has left the nest as of...
