So just to follow up on this thread, and summarize how it concluded... With frequent water changes, dividing the roosters into smaller flocks. The thyme, iodine treatment seemed to resolve our canker issues. None of my remaining boys have had any signs of anything left or reoccurrence. The boys...

He thinks he could do it, but has never killed anything for any reason. When were were talking it through we agreed I might just be the better option. He got nauseous when he was holding popcorn, and I cut out her bumblefoot! I have handled them a great deal, and they are all friendly... I know...

So an update on my crew of canker roosters. I ordered the fish zole, and it just arrived yesterday. Took forever. In the mean time I have given my 3 boys (and all the girls) their last dose of worm medicine. Some of the girls have soupy poopy, but I will get them a follow up poop test by next...

I think that helps.... @casportpony you have helped me with my math and dosing before.... I would prefer to dose by weight. If one tablet is 250, but you would dose 23 per lb... how do you divide up a pill to such small amounts. My roosters that are showing symptoms I could never eat. Abe is...

These boys were born last July/August. They are young and trying to "mate" each other constantly. The spots on their combs are from that. I have 8 I would cull. The one boy born last summer who has been in my bathroom for the past week has no signs on his beak of this that I can see. This is...

This is Abe, and you can sorta see on the roof of his mouth on the right side the spot on the inside. We were having a hard time getting the phone to focus, but I think you can see it, and at least the location. These pictures below are the boys I want to keep, and are separated together. Abe...

Good Morning. So this morning I checked My hens, and didn't see any on any of them. they do not share a run, food or water with the boys, but a couple of times a boy has flown the coop, and we have to catch, and put him back. Yesterday after I noticed it on the boys i locked the girls in...

So If it's 1 pill per bird for 5 days that's 105 pills right?. The largest bottle is 100 pills, and cost $80.99. Do you think that website is the best prices? Because cankers can progress so fast is why I should treat the whole flock even the ones not showing symptoms because they've been...

Ok. DH just closed up the roosters, and added the separated ones back into the coop with Abe... He said they were wet from getting rained on. I can separate them back to their pen from Abe tomorrow so they don't use his water and food, and if we decide to not treat, and cull them. If stress is...

I can post pictures tomorrow morning, and can order the medicine right away. Abe is my Cochin, and such a sweet boy. I would hate to loose him because i hung on to no name roosters for too long.

I'm pretty sure. the one in Abe's mouth looks like some of the pictures i saw, and DH agreed. There are no ulcers or round pox anywhere on him, and just the one spot on the roof of his mouth. He looks totally normal and i only saw it when i opened his beak. The others have a cheese like area on...

by doodles I mean roosters :)

That's good to know!! And you would just treat all the birds... what size bottle should I get? If i treat the keepers It's 21 birds, and if I treat the whole current flock it's 29. Would you let the other doodles back into the coop too? Or do you think less stress for Abe is better?

Thank you!!! we originally thought we were just dealing with the worms, and would address the culling once they were done & treated until the canker was noticed today! You are like my fairy chicken mother!:D I've been reading/ thinking, and looking at canker all day. My brain is overwhelmed...

Do you think keeping the young rough ones separated from Abe for stress reasons makes sense, and would you bother treating the ones who are going to get culled in 10 days for canker? They have separate food, and water buckets, and I washed Abes food out today, and rinsed his bucket but will...

oh geesh. So have I super wormed them?! will they be ok? I guess they survived it last summer...I mean should i still dose them in 10 days? thats for the worm eggs right so I have to... I don't think i have enough safegaurd left to dose everyone again i will have to go get another bottle. It is...

This is what I have been following from last summer... Everyone finished their day 5 dose today except Abe, and the 6 roosters he is with. So my 17 hens, and other small 5 rooster flock. including my bathroom boy got their day 5 dose this morning... Abraham, and his crew are a day behind because...

I thought I was doing Great! haha! I was on top of getting the poop tests done, and No mites, bumblefoot sucess, and the probiotics, and oyster shells my eggs were getting better the girls were getting nice feathers back! I have been going back and forth all day about the fish zole because i am...

Dear chicken friends, My beloved rooster seems to have a canker. Last summer I was being put through my chicken paces... Mites,worms, bumblefoot... I also hatched too many roosters. It being my first time, and they were so cute I didn't think I had the heart to cull them, and my three boys were...
