My small bantam was lame from a chick when we got her. We suspected the wrong food causing gout but it could be genetic. We treated her for gout at the time. The lameness would swap from left to right and back or be in both at times. She seemed to recover and by February this year looked...

Whenever our cockerel bends over to eat a syrupy liquid comes out of his mouth and he stops. What can be the cause? He is 1 year + and was very healthy until a couple of weeks ago. He was very handsome with big comb and wattles. Recently looking depressed, still eating and drinking a little...

My first photo is of our Rooster who is a healthy 3 year old Vorwerk with bad behaviour so he’s in the run at the moment. The other three pics are of Bill our young 1 year+ Vorwerk Cockerel who up until two weeks ago looked more handsome than his dad with redder and bigger comb and wattles. Now...

Chicken behaving weird after Elector PSP treatment After a few minutes my chicken began shivering or trembling behind her neck / head and continually trying to clean the liquid off herself. She appeared to like the application and almost went to sleep like in a trance. She appeared a bit...

My chicken has the tiniest insects in the fluffy parts near the shaft of her feathers. I have to really search to find them. She is not well so I need to treat her. I’ve purchased a small quantity (5ml) of Elector PSP for £25 as I only have 7 chickens. The little file has an instruction which by...

We home treated her for gout and also gave her firm grip floor surfaces and she very gradually recovered. She became our best layer for a short time ( I have details if required) then got diarrhoea for a week. She recovered but has never layed a hard shell egg since and after a few weeks of soft...
