Hey Matt! at your local Tractor Supply, they have plenty of electrolytes to chose from for your chickens. They have tablets, and then they also have powder. Whenever its hot like this outside, I always give electrolytes to my chickens, I also give them to my horses and dogs. I personally think...

Just finished putting some electrolytes in all 5 waterers outside as well as turning the sprinkler on so it hits the hen house to cool it off. Sadly, I have 5 broody hens right now, and not a single one are giving up anytime soon. I have a hen thats sitting on 4 duck eggs right now, and am...

Thanks Kass, Got it. I contacted the OSU teaching hospital, and to bring it in on the weekend is a $75 fee for and "emergency" service. However, they cant even run tests until normal business hours. SO, I figure I might as well wait until Monday to drop of the dead bird. Hoping and praying...

Lungs are Clear, Poop is clear. I have my own microscope and everything, literally check their poop all the time. Healthy one minute, and they drop dead the next. IF, and I say IF, I catch it early, and I mean super early, I'll find them laying on the ground, almost paralyzed (But will still be...

Thank you everyone for the quick responses. This morning, I had another drop dead out of nowhere. Im so sad. So, do I contact my vet and ask her to do a necropsy on the bird? I just think I am dealing with something a bit more serious than usual as usually I can do my own necropsies and get...

Hi everyone! Needing HELP! So as we all know, the Avian bird flu has hit Oklahoma. What are you guys using to PREVENT the spread of this to your flock? And what is part of your treatment plan once you have found a sick bird in which you suspect has the avian bird flu? Thanks in advance, I...

Hi everyone, Its been a while since I have been on here! I have missed all of you! How is everyone doing? HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE! -Emily

Long time no see okie friends? How is everyone? My son picked out a chicken at TSC and Im not quite sure what it is, any guesses?

Thank you for the advice! So do I stop eating the eggs for the entire duration of while the Wazine is in their waterer? I have about 40 or so hens. I am usually treating them with Wazine every so often, but now that I think about it, I have missed a while. During the necropsy, I didn't find very...

And another question, Could these worms cause a hen to go egg bound? This is what I am thinking happen to my hen.

Could someone please identify these worms for me? I did an autopsy on one of my hens that mysteriously died. Thanks so much!

Hey guys. Its been awhile since I have been on. Well I feel like a horrible chicken owner. I saw one of my hens picking at my roosters fluff for quite some time yesterday, so this prompts me to check for mites... and sure enough. He's got mites. I suppose I will be giving my first "seven dust...

bought a bantam chicken from TSC last night. Anyone have and ideas on what breed it may be?

Indeed it has. She is such a walking miracle and has NO idea! I had taken her to see the nurses that cared for her at OK heart in CCU, and theyre jaws hit the floor when they saw her walking up to them, and saying hello. As you know, she has a very poor prognosis throughout her stay there. Her...

okay, that makes me feel better. I think she has been laying for atleast a year or so now. So it very well may be that there is a glitch in her system somewhere. Everything I was reading yesterday was talking about Infectious Bronchitus, but she doesnt show any signs of sneezing, coughing, etc...

Kass, three times over about a month and a half, they are not soft. They are hard, but very thin shelled. No, she is not showing any other signs of sickness. No sneezing, coughing, abnormal poops, etc. Havent seen anything abnormal in any of my chickens actually.

Okay friends, I am in need of some expert help. I have a hen that has laid about 3 of these eggs now, and I am not sure why. I have read that it could be possible that its IB? I really hope this is not the case, as this would be my first time treating it? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

okay guys, seems like every time I go to collect eggs, its like a easter egg hunt! sometimes they'll lay their eggs in their nests, sometimes IN the feeder, sometimes just in the middle of the coop! I have put fake eggs in their nests, but this hasnt seemed to help so far. Any suggestions? I...

Good day everyone!! Since I have been a stay at home mom/ caretaker, I havent had internet until yesterday! It is sooooo nice to be back! I was almost having withdrawls from this site! I gave my first IM injection of Tylan 50 a couple days ago, I am rather proud of myself! Is it just me? Or is...

Thank you very much! That is helpful! when you saw "upward motion" are meaning something similar as to starting an IV?
