I cant figure out how to post the video but she is just slightly opening her mouth, not gaping or adjusting her crop. When I pick her up her comb will start turning purple. Last night I had her in a covered kennel inside and put VetRX on her beak/comb and vitamins in her water. She woke up...
I have this salmon faverolle who's almost 3 weeks and she's been different from day 1. I thought she'd pass the first night but I have a broody mama raising them and she's keeping her fed and growing. However, every day her eyes get goopy and I have to wipe them clean, which takes awhile cause...
I've been losing my red sexlink chickens to old age lately and want to order some new chicks since I've got a few broody silkies. I'm curious on mixing polish into my flock. I had an awful time with my first silkies, but ended up getting another 5 silkies so they've all done fine. Currently I...
Mostly I buy all flock but it sells out often so then I'll buy the layer instead. I'm not sure, all the vet did was a fecal and it came back clean. Also she has been drinking a ton of water this afternoon. It's about 90 degrees here
Nutrena laying & all flock crumbles, we give them leftover fruits and veggies but stopped all treats when Maxine got sick so nothing extra. They have oyster shells and free range so plenty of bugs too
This is my 3rd time posting in a couple weeks. I had a barred rock hen who passed away after a couple weeks of green diarrhea, not eating and lethargy. The vet did a fecal and found nothing, she was dewormed and given corrid and nutri drench plus vitamins in water and nothing helped. Vet thinks...
Hello again! The vet said her fecal came back with nothing, after all the treatment she hasn't improved. The vet suggested culling her and that she likely has cancer. Just wondering if you agree or if there's any last ditch efforts, if she even makes it that long. I don't want her to suffer but...
Thank you so much!! Can I give her corid, calcium and safeguard all on the same day? Do I need to toss her eggs during treament? And would you suggest treating the whole flock or just putting her in a kennel for a few days to treat? Thank you again! Also, the hen who had the lash egg passed a...
She gets nutrena laying crumble or all flock. I give them veggies and sometimes fruit but haven't this week except strawberries one day. The fecal results will be Monday since it's the weekend
I had posted a couple days ago about my sick 4 year old barred rock hen. She has green diarrhea and is barely eating but pecks at food. Lays down with eyes closed most of the day. The vet checked her today and she isn't egg bound, took a fecal sample.
They suggested I treat the whole flock...
Thank you again! I just took a fecal sample to my vet today, curious to know what yours says. They said I should have results Monday but didn't appear to have worms..
Yes grit and oyster shells, I will stop extras for now! I gave her nutri drench directly and she ate some food a little after. Do you suggest separating or any medication? It is almost 100 degrees here and there are wildfires effecting air quality, but she's the only one who is sick so not sure...
I would say maybe 5-7 days ago, I have 2 barred rocks so sometimes it's hard to tell what day. She doesn't lay often for the last 6 months but always has healthy eggs when she does. I havent wormed them before, not sure what I'd give? I don't give eggs often but I did bring her some because...
Thank you so much!! I will get some strawberries today just for them. What you said makes me feel a lot better and makes sense since it's been a few days. She does free range too!
