So my last update on this... My chickens are doing far better now they are on grass and in their tractor. I took a poop sample to my vet. When I collected it there were only a few bloody overnight droppings in the tractor-coop. I’m not sure what he’s going to charge for the diagnosis, don’t...

As of December 1st 2018, no we cannot obtain any “medications used for veterinary treatments” without a prescription from a licensed veterinarian with whom we have a close personal relationship. Upon getting down to the farmhouse after speaking with my vet a VERY lively discussion ensued on this...

Got the call back and tomorrow he will do a stool sample/necropsy (if any die tonight, praying they won’t!) though he doesn’t treat farm animals... he does treat pet birds and is willing to help me out. He might not have the appropriate meds in stock but can have them ordered for the next day...

Cannot get medicated started feed... feed store isn’t licensed to carry it! :he Waiting on my vets call back... they do treat birds, but hummed and hawed a little when I said chickens. Asked how well they travel on the ferries! I don’t know... I hatched these ones here and the littles were much...

Update... I just let them out, brought them feed and fresh water, there were several bloody droppings in the shavings I gave them last night. I cleaned those out and moved the tractor onto fresh ground without bloody droppings. While I was feeding they produced several more bloody droppings...

I have the waterers raised up... the little chicks fly onto the top, perch on them, and poop directly into their water! That hadn’t been a problem with the 9 week olds, their waterer is also raised, they managed to get some shavings into it when scratching, but not as much stuff as the littles...

I looked up sulfa drugs and found an entry for sulfamexanine (think I spelled that right) and it said not for use in laying poultry... these chickens are my layers... even if they aren’t old enough yet. Thoughts? Ok... the FARAD website is making my head spin right now... I will get the...

I will also check out the fish med section at the pet store... just need to know what I’m looking for and then get the dosages figured... next time I get an antibiotic prescribed to me I’m going to hoard it for my animals... I’ll see what I can find. Really they looked healthy and happy, and...

I Will look for it, Might also try sweet talking my cats veterinarian into prescribing me something, heaven knows I’m spending enough on them to deserve consideration! Any human meds effective? Those are easier to come by here right now!

Would buying medicated starter feed be at all helpful at this point?

My feed store isn’t licensed for any pesticides or medications... the one that is, is Buckerfields, they are obnoxious... I will look at what they have but it’s mostly horse dewormers, if they can still sell them. This summer, (before the new regs) I went for a dusting powder for flies and...

Thanks for your help!

Changes to Canadian regulations on veterinary medications have made me unable to purchase Corid, I’m not sure about Sulmet, I haven’t heard of that one. I don’t know if I order it if I can get it. My legbands (ordered from the USA) were opened by customs! I will take all info to town on Thursday...

my 9 week old chicks just moved out to their chicken tractor today after the overnight death of my favorite chicken in the brooder box. I hatched them out here on October 13th and was unprepared for how fast they would outgrow their brooder. If I had electricity or it was summer it wouldn’t have...
