    Requesting Wet Fowl Pox Advice

    Another disease canker can also look like wet fowl pox. It smells very bad though, where wet fowl pox does not. They are treated differently. With her having fowl pox, it most likely is wet pox. Let us know how she gets along.

    Pullet not doing well

    I’m glad that you opened the egg. It is good to see if there is a yolk and albumen.

    Chicken with red belly but no other symptoms

    Is she being feather picked by another or doing it herself? Could she be starting to molt?

    Requesting Wet Fowl Pox Advice

    I would not disturb the pox scabs on the skin since that can spread the pox. Her tongue looks a bit weird, kind of squared off. Is there anything in her beak sticking to her tongue? Wet pox does cause yellow plaques or gunk inside the beak and throat. Eating and drinking can be a problem...

    Hen laying clumps of shells

    Calcium citrate with D3 or Tums plus a little vitamin D3 might work a little better. Foods that have D3 are tuna, salmon, egg, and plain yogurt. If extra calcium does not help after a week or so, then the problem may be with her oviduct shell gland. That can be common in some hens.

    Hen sitting/walking on hocks

    @chickenrunsquad Some hens may have temporary problems walking if an egg is stuck, or if they have been having trouble passing one. Make sure that she gets riboflavin (B2) daily. Hopefully that will take care of her problem.

    Can you give your pullet a human calcium tablet with D 3 orally? What are you feeding?

    Help with Marek’s & Mycoplasma Synovaie

    Mycoplasma synovitis is very hard to treat with antibiotics. It is a lifelong/chronic disease and birds who have been exposed will become carriers for life. My advice would be to close the flock to any birds coming in or going out, until all birds eventually are gone. You may only see a few who...

    Pullet not doing well

    The first looks like thin shell with a lot of calcium deposits. The second is really strange, almost like extra thin shell, deposits, and wrinkled. Have you heard any sneezing recently with a mild respiratory disease, or has their been a lot of stress in the flock? Her oviduct and it’s shell...

    MS/ILT Positive Flock

    What state are you in? Is this the state vet lab who gave your diagnosis?

    Breath that would knock a donkey on its ass😆

    Metronidazole is the usual treatment for canker, 250 mg daily given orally for 5-7 days. Have you tried that yet? Some use acidified copper sulfate 1/4 tsp per gallon of water for 5-7 days. The problem with not getting a diagnosis first is that you may be treating the wrong disease. Miconazole...

    Rooster hiding from us!

    He has some peck marks on the right side of his face and comb. Can you spend some time with him in the flock walking around noting their behavior? Something is going on. Does he have a favorite treat? Does he have shaded cool fresh water? I would offer some scrambled egg, electrolytes, and wet...

    Pullet not doing well

    I’m not a vet. If a vet is possible you could get amoxicillin capsules. No antibiotics are approved for chickens. Enrofloxacin is actually banned for them by the FDA although it is better for treating reproductive infections. It is used for other animals. If that doesn’t bother you, I would...

    Chicken with red belly but no other symptoms

    Pullet not doing well

    I would give the calcium up to 7 days, in case she is having trouble laying an egg or a lash egg. She is very young to have such as distended lower abdomen, and that can be a sign of internal laying/salpingitis (inflammation of the oviduct) or water belly. Any pictures of her dropping can be...

    Chicken Lice in Canada

    The LiceX with 1% permethrin should work, but you need to dilute it for chickens. I think chickens are treated with 0.5% permethrin. Do they sell lice powder or garden dust? Sulfur powder can be effective on lice and mites. I would also call your vet since they might suggest a spot-on type...

    Hen has infectious coryza and gurgling noises..???

    If the symptoms are still not improved I would use sulfa antibiotic, or go ahead and start it now. Let us know what you can get. Pictures of the antibiotic you get, the chicken, and swelling would be good.

    Coccidiosis is showing little improvement after 5 or 6 days treatment

    Is every dropping runny? Usually coccidiosis is not seen often in adult healthy birds. It is more common in young chicks 3-6 weeks old and a bit older. I would worm her with either Valbazen 1/2 tsp once and again in 10 days or SafeGuard liquid Goat wormer 1.25 ml for a 5 pound hen given orally...
