Hi, how is your hen doing now? Did her eye ever improve and did the ointment help?

Also thank you everyone for your responses and help! I will take all the info I’ve received and continue to monitor and treat them. I am staying hopeful! :fl

Thank you for the thorough response! MEDS I’m in CA so I’ll have to go thru vet for prescription for tylan and terramycin since TSC and valleyvet doesn’t supply it here or ship. I wonder if amoxicillin would help? That’s the only I have on hand at the moment. I went ahead with nutridrench and...

Updated photos Isolating the ones in the holder pen away from each other and from our other chickens 1) bluebell (left) left eye swollen shut this AM with some yellowing possibly pus bubbles forming and a bloody beak, welsummer (right) sleepy/lethargic 2) appears to be bloody stool 3)...

That would be great. I’d like to do what I can for them without having to cull. Would it be recommended to keep any that potentially have MG separated from my other chickens that aren’t showing symptoms? I’ll go home and take some more photos of the ones in this pen. For Tylan or Tylosin...

Hi! How is your chicken doing now?

Hm…They’ve been in their quarantine for about 2.5 weeks now, all seemed ok until now. A small wild bird did get trapped in their pen about a day ago in the AM, it got tangled in the netting along the ceiling. It may have been around inside their pen but they generally don’t stick around for...

Quick update from this evening: Our bluebell has calmed down a lot since yesterday—not attacking chicks anymore, but I went ahead and moved them to their own run anyway. Upon closer inspection, she has one swollen eye and a lesion near her beak on the other side. The other eye is fine. Nothing...

:hmm We do have predators but I didn’t see any signs of attack. Also all our other chickens look fine. He was still intact, but the ants had already gotten to his face and open wounds. Trying to think of what other changes were made recently… We do have fire ants that come out regularly and...

Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to find if anyone has had a case where pullets will attack cockerel? Came home to find my deathlayer roo dead! :( He was only 4 mo He had pecks on his neck when I found him, as well as being eaten by ants. I’m not certain which were the cause of his death or if...

Ok just needed reassurance, I won’t feel bad about tossing it then. Thank you for your help :)

Wow, I didn’t know sudden allergy was possible! Thanks for letting me know. Do you happen to know if there’s anything I could repurpose the old feed / extras for? Or best to just toss?

Hi I just picked up some spare chicken supplies from another chicken owner. After asking some questions about her chickens and why she didn’t need supplies anymore, it turns out her chicken eggs were making her sick… A few questions… 1) can a sick chicken produce “sick eggs” or is this some...

Hi! I have a number of rescue hens I’m having trouble identifying their breed or mix. Generally they came from relatives of the owners so they couldn’t provide much info on their identity. Some others I’m hoping to get confirmation on their breed NOTES: - 1&2 came together, at least one lays...

Hi all! I’ve been lurking on the site for awhile getting answers to all my questions on raising chickens (and ducks) for awhile. I recently took over a few neighbor’s birds (a hen and her chicks from retiree, chicken and duck general pet owner). I’m still new to chickens and duck but I’m...
