I called the state vet, she recommended a fellow that is apparently the foremost authority on poultry in the state. He recommended we bring one of our birds in for a necropsy. We took them one of our birds. The vet called us and told us that it was not croyoza as I feared but some sort of avian...

I just went out to my coop and inspected all birds for symptoms. I took the 3 that had symptoms and culled them. I took away their food and water, I will sterilize them and return them in the morning. I will keep culling until the symptoms stop showing up. I really hate this.... A VERY...

I have researched canker some. It seems that even if I do get it cleared up that any bird that has it is a carrier for life? Is this true? Does that mean that every new bird I bring in will get it and also become a carrier? should I start culling out birds while I can? Is it too late?

I now have another hen with one eye swollen most of the way shut and it looks like a couple more have puffy cheeks. Are you positive it is canker? what is the recommended course of action? I am dosing the entire flock with duramycin at this point.

ok, I did some research and found that it is recommended to not exceed .25ml so I cleaned out her wound as best I can, irrigated it with some saline, and gave her .125 penicillin in her breast. I also gave her some duramiacin in her water at a rate of 200 ml per gallon.

ok, I went to tsc and got some penncilin. can anyone tell me how much to inject her with after I clean out the wound and irrigate with saline?

ok, I went to my local feed store and talked to them a little. The only injectable antibiotic they had is liquamycin la-200 (oxytetracycline). He said as long as I do not remove the sealed cap I could bring it back if I just cannot use it. Does this sound like a suitable antibiotic for my sick...

I hope the seed or whatever it was (not sure) was the issue. It was in there pretty good. I had to tug a little to get it out. It was not just loose in there. It was stuck up in there about 3/8"'

I understand I should have isolated. I have rolled the dice 2 times now bringing in birds from other peoples flocks and prayed my girls would not get something nasty. I have to find a way to isolate, I have only one coop. It is hard to house 10 full grown hens for 3 weeks before I bring them...

ok, I think I may have found her issue. When I opened her mouth I noticed one side of her mouth was more swollen than the other, I also noticed very locallized puss and a yucky spot. I touched it and could feel something hard in there. I Got a pair of tweezers and was able to pull out a couple...

I could be wrong, but I think the wounds on her waddles and comb are peck marks from my other hens. I just introduced her and 9 other of her friends to my existing flock of 17 today, so There has been some pecking for order. Thus far she is the only one exhibiting any issues. I hope she just...

here are a couple of pics. I feel SOOO bad for this hen. I want to help her, but I dont know what to do.

I just acquired 10 hens from a local person and one of them turned up today with big swollen welts on her head and mucus bubbling out of her eye socket. What is it and what do I do? I ahve already isolated her, but how do I treat?
