    Does anyone know what could be in my month old Pekin’s mouth?

    It isn’t dirt and her brooder is cleaned daily. Is this a wound she could have gotten from chewing chicken wire? I couldn’t find any blood. It has a booger consistency. She seems to be eating and drinking fine. My wife took the photos and said it didn’t seem to be coming from her out of her...

    My bantams need Tiagard, but they are not drinking the water, even with sugar. Two are in bad shape with foamy eyes and sputum. I tried small bits of bread with an undiluted dose appropriate to weight. My question is, has anyone directly dosed with syringe feeding undiluted? Or, as well have...

    Hello everyone, My pullets have a respiratory disease. Started with a couple birds that I isolated but now pretty much the whole flock is coughing. A few have watery eyes and nasal discharge.

    Managing flock, mycoplasma and bringing in new roosters

    Our flock has what our vet says seems like mycoplasma but it hasn’t been confirmed by testing post mortem. He gave us Tylan and we put whole flock on it for 6 days, but moving forward we don’t want to continue giving antibiotics to our flock now that we understand it can lead to spiraling flock...

    Rooster Cheek Swollen - Possible Illness

    We have a really old rooster of about 9 to 10 years of age. Yesterday afternoon we noticed his right cheek had become swollen, and he had mucus or other discharge on his beak. At the time someone suggested he may have just been stung by something and he would recover, but it's been over 24 hours...

    Will a mycoplasma carrier still test positive even after symptoms are gone?

    Most of my flock has had on again off again mild respiratory infection symptoms. Right now they all seem to be symptom free but I really want to do a PCR test for MG and MS since I sell hatching eggs and chicks. Since MG and MS are a CRD will they test positive even though they aren’t showing...

    Wheezing hen, may be respiratory illness?

    Hi guys. So one of my hens has a wheezing sound when she breathes. It sounds like when chickens labor right before they lay an egg. But it's constant. Now it is very hot here, it was 101 for three days this last week. I was out boothing at a festival during it, but when I returned home and took...

    My rooster might have respiratory fungal infection

    He just finished the 5-day treatment of two medication for coryza. His labored breathing and rales lessened and most of his droppings are solid. However, I noticed that his sneeze and cough are more frequent. He was also mouth breathing silently (no wheezing). Once in a while, he gurgles when he...
