    lone male missing his girls

    I had the same thing happen about a year ago to my male guinea. I went to a garage sale, bought him a cheap mirror, propped it up by one of his favorite hang-outs near the chicken coop and Voila! Happy guinea! At least temporarily! He hangs out with his "girlfriend" every day, talks to her...

    Guinea Hen In Serious Trouble, Please Help

    Guinea is still hanging in there with me although I do not for the life of me know how. I have been giving him electrolytes and medication, but still no improvement. He can't seem to control his head movements. I wish someone had been through this before to tell me to hang in there or to let him...

    Guinea Hen In Serious Trouble, Please Help

    Connie--Thank you so much for your kind words. I too hope that someone has some answers, but he may be so far gone that it doesn't matter. I make sure to get electrolytes and some food down him every morning and every night but still no improvement. I feel so bad for him and want for him to...

    Guinea Hen In Serious Trouble, Please Help

    I started a thread in the emergency section of this forum (I am new here) but didn't get many responses so I thought I would re-post here. Hope someone has some answers, we are so sad about this guy. So, I have a male guinea hen, about 2 years old that I found while locking up the coop the...

    Guinea Hen with Spasms and Shaking

    I have a 2 year old guinea hen who I found in the yard last night while locking up. His head is shaking and he is unsteady on his feet. I got some water down his throat last night and honestly thought he wouldn't make it through the night, but he is still here. He is not eating or drinking on...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    Yes, I was able to find dosing for cattle and swine, but no real definitive information on Poultry!! It was all over the map, and FINALLY after what seemed like days of searching, I was able to figure it out!! My hen responded remarkably to it, so I was really relieved!! Do you know anything...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    Thanks for all of the information. For some reason I was not alerted to all of the posts!! :( I did take a look down her throat and there was nothing. No worms, no mucus, everything looking pink and healthy. I really think its the MG and the resistance to Tylan is likely. I ordered Bio-Mycin...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    Thanks Eggsessive, I do appreciate the help and understand that no one is an expert! I just want to stay on topic as forums can sometimes gets sort of "preachy" if you know what I mean. :) Regardless, I am here because I am trying to figure this out and save this poor hen, so I appreciate...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    Yes, if you look at my post, I explain that I have been using the injectable on this hen, but that in the past, I have used the powdered form in water. I believe we were discussing the possibility of a resistance building so I thought that it would be important to mention the powdered Tylan as...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    Is there anything I can do for her to ease her comfort level?? Right now she is in a very small cage, eating and drinking no problem. Sometimes the gurgling gets worse and although she doesn't seem to be suffering, it can't be comfortable. I had some of that mentholated Chicken RX and dabbed it...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    I have only started using Tylan recently--and usually only in the water. But, you may be right, I don't know. How long does it take for a resistance to begin? I hate to cull her, but it may be the humane thing as she is not better at all and the rasping/rattling is getting worse. I have Baytril...

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    I just ordered new drugs online but why, oh why didn't the Tylan injectable work? I feel like that should have knocked this thing right out of the park and it didn't even make a dent. M

    Gurgling/Rales/Respiratory Treatment not working

    Hey all....SO I brought one of my hens inside about 2 weeks ago when she was showing signs of a respiratory infection--terrible gurgling and wet rattling from her lungs. My flock was diagnosed with Mycoplasma several years ago and it crops up from time to time as general sniffles and runny...

    Dark Eggs Hatchery

    I hate to say it, I really do, because I don't like to make trouble for anyone. But Darkeggs.com is not a company you want to do business with. I had a very unpleasant experience with them, and the woman who owns the company does NOT respond to emails or phone calls. I spent about 100$ on a...
