    Antibiotics - treat, pause, then treat again?

    I've got one chicken who has been sluggish for the last few months. A month ago I gave her Clavamox pills for 5 days and she got slightly better (maybe coincidence). Can I give her another 5-7 day treatment?

    Sick chicken - waterbelly drained, weak/lethargic

    Maybe 3-4 days ago this chicken had signs of waterbelly. We drained some fluid out and she was doing better. Eager to be out with her friends, so I put her back on this morning. Now she's mostly sitting again and moves a bit gingerly. Legs seem like they're sticking out a bit, but maybe that's...

    Horrific Bird Flu Experience Killed My Whole Flock and my Cat

    I'm a hobby farmer from British Columbia, although admittedly my parents do most of the work cause I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I live with my Mom and Dad and a back yard full of fowls near the forest, geese, ducks, muscovies, and many chickens, all free range. I was out for a month to do house...

    How long until she can go back?

    Morning everyone I have a sick hen. I'm treating her now and was wondering. How long after her symptoms stop can I reintroduce her to the main flock? She's still sick right now but not sure how long to wait to put her back when she's better.

    Treating my rooster for an illness. He wouldn't eat anything, just kept going through water like a fish. So, I took some crumble and mixed it with water until it was mush. I made about half a cup total. Question is, how long can I keep that half cup of water/crumble mixture in front of him...
