    Cross beak chick.

    I wouldn’t try and syringe feed a baby chick because the likely hood of aspiration is too high, the best bet is to just add the tablet to a small amount of water -it melts really fast, and only give her this to drink til gone, you can also dip her beak in the mixture to get her to drink! Our...

    Cross beak chick.

    Hey! Okay so the easiest way is to put the tablet/s in a TBLSP of water and have her drink only this mixture til gone, if she isn’t separated from her flock then I would briefly separate her to give her this mixture, at least 2xday, make it like a special bonding treat time & she will...

    Cross beak chick.

    That is a sad story... There are many factors that contribute to the quality of a new baby chick. Please know that all bird species have the potential to develop cross-beak and most birds are not incubated by a machine. Contrary to one’s beliefs cross-beak is more an issue determined by the...

    Cross beak chick.

    I’m hoping that this finds you quickly. I have had much success, when treating at first sign of mis-alignment, using Hyland cell salt #2 to correct cross beak. It wouldn’t hurt to still try, I suggest 4-6 pills per day for @ 2 weeks and see if you see improvement. I also suggest you add...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    I don’t have any pics to send at this time because they are not present in her droppings. I too am familiar with parasites, I’ve been cleaning myself and consulting others for the past 21 years. I am thankful for your suggestions 😊

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    Thanks for your support and care for my girl! I appreciate your suggestions. I do not have a vet to help with this matter so I will try the copper sulphate and see how it goes. If I can get this problem resolved I will update this thread to share the protocol that I used on this stubborn case...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    Let me re-phrase my comment and say that what I AM seeing in my chickens stool are roundworms and they CAN look like yellow/white “babies “ sticking the head out of what LOOKS like their egg. Maybe they are just “baby” roundworms that never had the change to get big cause I purged them out! With...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    I am not using DE to treat for worms. I used a human parasite cleanse for them. It consists of well know herbs to rid all people and animals of common worms such as pinworm, roundworm, whip worm, and possibly some others. Yes, you can see round worms peeking there heads out of there “egg” and...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    Do you really think I should try the copper sulphate? How can I just give it to one hen? Every thing I read says not intended for one hen, just a flock... Plus it says only use in water but how can I make sure she drinks it? I give these hens clean water and they’ll go drink out the dirty...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    She does get lice off and on, I use a natural spray on her and it works but I’m in the southeast and it’s been horribly hot & humid and rainy the last month. Hard to get control of them when they can’t dust bath due to weather. Never seen maggots. I gave her monostat 3 day package. I took out...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    The first pic is what her bum looks like daily, this is this morning at 8:30am est, some days it’s worst, but I clean this off every morning 😓 The second picture is kinda hard to see inside her vent, but what’s there is a yellow-white cheese like canker Thant’s stick to the walls of her inside...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    I will post pics in the morning. She prolapsed for only a few minutes passing that one egg. The egg was normal. She STILL lays eggs, she has laid 3 in the past 4 days and I don’t know how considering her vents condition, they aren’t tiny eggs, she’s an orp mix and a big girl! No lash eggs, but...

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    Yes, I have used monostat suppositories cut them up and put into capsules and pilled her with them, did this for 5 days or more plus put it in her vent. It didn’t work 😭

    Vent Gleet Will Not Go Away! It’s Been Months 😓

    I have a lavender Orp, she is a little over a year old. She developed, what I thought to be, vent gleet with symptoms of heavy white discharge from her vent. She acts absolutely normal considering her bum is leaking, she eats like a hog, runs around, forages, and even lays BIG eggs! The...

    Need advice on soy-free, corn-free feed

    Inferior to what? Corn? Soy? Canola? These ingredients are in most of the “name brand” feeds with many other toxic ingredients. Have you ever studied the necropsy reports on chickens consuming a diet with these 3 ingredients? Not good! I like that I can pronounce every ingredient in NCO feed...

    Need advice on soy-free, corn-free feed

    Problem with Grubbly is not their ingredients, those are great, it’s the fact that the grains are not organic, which means they will have a finisher applied before harvest and they cannot be verified to be glysophate free :-(

    Need advice on soy-free, corn-free feed

    I use New Country Organic, they are way less than scratch and peck! I get it delivered in bulk and pay @ $0.615 per lb. I get corn and soy free layer pellet/ crumble/mash, depends on the season as summer in zone 8b is hot and humid and pellets/crumble is best! It is true that mash makes a mess...

    Need advice on soy-free, corn-free feed

    I’ve done at least a 100 hrs of study on the effects of canola, corn and soy on ALL animals, including humans, and it is actually highly dangerous and it’s used because it’s cheap filler food, the risks actually out weigh the benefits. Necropsy results do not lie! I theorize that it’s possibly...
