    Fully formed poop with yellow cap

    H-m-m-m, I wonder if it might be the Poultry Cell causing the yellow urates? Could you hold off on that for a few days and see if they become white again? Just a thought. Wait on the antibiotics if she is not acting sick.

    Scabs on Wattle?

    If it is pox, the best thing to do is leave the scabs alone to dry up and fall off. Let us know how she gets along, or if any others develop scabs.

    Fully formed poop with yellow cap

    I might consider treating her with Amoxicllin 250 mg given orally twice a day for 7-10 days. Does she get any extra treats beside the the feed? Then I would keep an eye on her droppings to see if the yellow persists over the next week.

    Is this a deformity on this baby?

    Yes she has a deformity. That foot has 2 fused toes and toenails. It probably won’t matter to her in living a good life. However, I wouldn’t hatch her eggs, since this could be genetic.

    Thanks for the update, and so glad to hear the good news.

    Scabs on Wattle?

    I think that you are right about it being fowl pox, especially if you have mosquitoes out. Peck marks from fighting or bullying can sometimes look like pox. If you think it is fowl pox, it takes about 3 weeks to go away, and it usually affects others.

    Depluming mites dying-Can they take feathers with it? or is it molt?

    Did you have the feather mites confirmed by a vet? How much and what strength was the ivermectin? Was it applied on the back of the neck over then spine? Do you have any photos?

    Fully formed poop with yellow cap

    The (normally white) yellow urates in her poop are what is concerning. I would be concerned about a possible reproductive infection. Fatty liver disease and water belly (ascites) are two other things that may cause yellow urates. Have you seen any unusual or thin shelled eggs recently? What is...

    Not emergency, but new chicken owner questions.

    I prefer gallon size feeders and waterers, since they are harder to knock over. The feeders can be hung or set up on bricks. They will try to jump up on them and knock them over.

    Rooster with red around his vent and neck

    He also looks like someone is picking out his feathers on the neck and vent area.

    Chicken struggling to breathe

    Does she sound like the chicken with stridor in this video? Stridor can be common if a chicken eats fast and gets a small piece of feed stuck in the airway. Most times it goes away in a few hours, but if it continues and includes sneezing, there may be a respiratory infection. My hen that...

    Hen with one cloudy eye

    She does look blind, but may see light and shadows. How does the other eye look?

    Help? Hen with white spots on her comb.

    Photos would be helpful. Favus or fungus is common. Miconazole or clotrimazole cream applied daily might help. You are welcome to start a new thread about your chickens.

    8 Week old pullet sneezing and wheezing. Advice?

    I would save my money. Vet Rx, while safe, is bottle of herbal oils (rosemary, oregano, balsam in oil with camphor.) I would make sure they have plenty of ventilation, fresh air, and no water spills that may lead to mold. I usually wait until pullets are the same size to slowly, safely...

    Not emergency, but new chicken owner questions.

    Chickens should have free access to their balanced layer or flock raiser feed (and water) all day until they go to roost in the evening. Is that all they get? They don’t need any extras except for free ranging for bugs, worms, and grass. If you are giving scratch, corn, table scraps or other...

    8 Week old pullet sneezing and wheezing. Advice?

    I would be concerned they could have come with a respiratory disease. Keep them far away from your others, and use good biosecurity with hand washing, changing shoes, and clothing. Thirty days is the usual quarantine time. Have you checked with the seller? Note if they are sneezing often, every...

    Fowl pox?

    Try flushing the eye with saline or eye wash. If you have antibiotic ointment, use some in the eye twice a day.

    Lethargic hen with runny, yellow-green poop

    The poop could be due to a reproductive infection or disorder. Has she been laying eggs recently? Have you seen any shell-less eggs recently? I would feel of her lower belly under the vent for any enlargement, and for any weight loss. Check her crop in the early mornings to make sure that it is...

    3 Week old baby chick-legs will not support

    Look for human B complex vitamins and give 1/2 tablet daily orally or crush it in food. A small wine glass or padded cup may be good to stand the chick in to get balance and strengthen leg muscles. I would consider making a chicken sling for periods throughout the day, and put food and water...

    Scalped to the Skull, Pullet Silkie

    Try offering different things such as canned tuna or salmon, or ground meat, in tiny bits in addition to the moistened chicken feed and egg. Maybe something will interest her, but fluids are best. Human B complex vitamins 1/2 tablet crushed or something like Poultry NutriDrench 3 drops might...
