I’ve just discovered tonight that my chicken had lice 🙁 I have two chickens total, I havn’t checked the other one however I plan on treating both regardless.
I’ve looked up other threads on how to treat and what not, however I am located in Canada, which means product availability is...
Ok, so some of my chickens sound congested. Which would lead me to believe there is a respiratory issue. The beginning of June I filled one of their waterers with antibiotics to help fight off whatever they had going on. Three weeks later they still sound congested.
They all act normal, just...
Hi all, I have red mites in my chicken coop. I took all bedding and nesting pads out of my coop, swept it out, and sprayed it (drenched) with elector psp; I also sprayed my hens. After everything dried I sprinkled first Saturday lime and replaced all bedding/ pads. I also sprayed the chicken run...
It has been SO so rainy here and we did not put new bedding down in our run. I’m so worried I hurt our chickens by letting the run get rainy the past few days. :( Everyone is acting normal so I dunno whose this is…
If it is coccidiosis, can I get a confirmation of treatment? ;( We’ve got 19...
One of my 5 hens, Molly, died suddenly yesterday. The day before, she had been acting completely normal, but then yesterday she started acting strangely. About an hour after we noticed, she died. First, she was lying down in the doorway of the coop and visibly drooling, while her eyes were...
One of my hens has had a bald spot on her butt for a while now from an animal attack a while ago. Back then I had assumed the feathers would grow out, but now it still looks the same. If anything, it seems to be more irritated. Is there any way to treat bald spots on chickens to encourage...
Hi, I'm a first time duck owner and just received three Indian Runners last week. Right off the bat, one of them was sitting down more often than the other two, but didn't have any visible signed of deformity. This week, her right leg is very obviously turned inward to the point that her right...
Can you treat chickens with Exzolt and cydectin at the same time?
My chickens have just had their second/last dose of Exzolt in their water. Can I topically treat with cydectin now aswell or is it best to wait?
Hello everyone! Me and my husband have owned chickens for two years now with no injuries or illnesses until today. I found my RIR hen missing feathers and plucked pretty severally/ bleeding from being plucked. We have no idea what the initial injury could have been as no predators were in the...
Today I noticed these warts on my chicken, she has one on her beak and one on her right or left ear. I did a quick google search and it says it might be fowl pox. I think there are no treatments for fowl pox but vaccines. How can I treat these warts and what even is it? Thanks
Hello again! I just got 3 new ducks on Saturday; was checking over their feet and nails earlier, and I noticed they have some bumps / scales sticking out and am wondering if anyone could identify what it is ?
It doesn't appear to be bumblefoot and they aren't acting hurt/ in pain, so I'm not...
I noticed my chicken had an impacted crop on Friday. I thought we were about past it earlier, the doctor gave us Cisapride to assist with crop motility. But now, I think she has sour crop. It’s like a balloon filled with air. I’m so worried because she hasn’t had the ability to eat much of...
Hello friends,
wonderful people here helped me with my ducks multiple times, so I ask you for your wisdom once more.
TL;DR : my indian runners have been sick since they were about 2 weeks old - detailed symptoms below - They are doing ok from what I can tell, the vet said they are ok and to...
I bought this because I heard it can be used to treat some chicken ailments. Anybody have experience using it and able to offer advice? How much and how administered? What illnesses can it help? TIA
Help! The second chick that my hen hatched has a leg issue and I’m not sure how to treat. FYI I am not going to cull the chick. It looks very healthy, is just over 24 hours old. It was stuck in the shell over 24 hours so I removed some shell during the hatching process and let the hen do the...
Hello I need some help determining how much to feed our little one (6 weeks old) with wry neck. Right now we do have to feed her by syringe since she won't eat much by herself so we have been giving her 1cc of rooster booster and an egg yolk or two via syringe. Is that enough she's a jersey...
At what point does wry neck, likely caused by an injury, become irreversible? We discovered our silkie in this condition early today. We've been giving her vitamin E and egg, but she's immobile, lying on her side, kicking in the air, with her eyes fluttering and neck curled under. When we hold...
Hello everyone, meet Crookie- one of my chocolate Orpington hens. She is nearly a year old now, and last December she began stargazing, walking backwards and separating herself from the flock. So, she moved into the “hospital” in our garage and has been there all winter. Initially she was in...
Any thoughts on if this is canker or thrush?
She has been eating and drinking normally. A few days ago she was very sleepy and has been puffed up frequently but other than that she’s been acting normal. I noticed these spots at the corner of her beak the day she was sleepy (and therefore...
So, we have a hen, almost a year old with what we think is either impacted or sour crop. We noticed something was off because she was doing that side to side head wobble thing, big crop in the mornings and stayed by herself a little more, still ate, but maybe a little less it’s hard to tell when...
