treatment

I recently got two Khaki Campbell ducks and now they’re fully feathered and seemed to get along okay with the older ones however lately I’ve noticed some feathers missing on their chests. And the others will occasionally bite at them. I hoped it wasn’t a big deal but I guess it got a lot worse...

Hello All, Am relatively new to keeping chickens. Have three. Since two days ago noticed 'worms' in some of the faeces, particularly in the evenings. Want to be sure that we treat this correctly. Would appreciate help identifying the type of worms and possible treatments. Thanks in...

My chicken has impacted crop that I believe has turned into sour crop (a little smelly) I have massaged and massaged and it doesn't seem to be working. I read that a chicken like this should have no access to food as it can make it worse. So yesterday I took away her food and put her in a cage...

Hi all. So I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger hen who has had chronic diarrhea for at least the last couple of months. It almost comes out in a stream and her vent is almost always dirty. At first I thought that that was just her, but after a little more research, I’m pretty sure she has...

Help I was suppose to be giving a rooster away to his new home to a new flock on Wednesday but found today that he has coccidiosis! ): obviously I don’t want the other persons flock to be sick to either way I would tell them to quarantine but should I just tell them I want to treat him first...

Need advice regarding treatment for my two-year-old Polish bantam hen who is sick. We first noticed symptoms a week ago. We found her in her outdoor run on Sunday very lethargic but standing up. We assumed it was heat related and spent the night cooling her off. She perked up a little and ate...

Hello, I have been feeding 4 orphaned Muscovy ducklings since their mom passed away about a month ago, they’re about 8-9 weeks old..and I noticed both of the duckling’s wings were growing outward from what I’ve been researching, it surely appears to be angel wing correct? since they’re wild...

Hello, I came to check on my geese, I do it every hour when they are outside. It was fine last time I was out. I think it was a bug bite and the gosling scratched his eye and irritated it. What should I use for treatment? Should I cover his toenails to prevent further damage? Thanks in advanced.

I've read a lot about giving ducks ivermectin for gapeworms and giving it to them orally but all I can find online is injectable, pour on, and paste. If anyone can help me get in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey ya’ll this morning we woke up to one of our pullets making a gasping wheezing sound with her mouth sort of open (though she has always had a sort of open beak). she ocassionally shakes her head, not sure if it’s a sneeze or just a head shake with sound. She does not appear to have any...

Re-posting this with fingers crossed I might get some good leads: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/recurring-bumblefoot-early-stages-photos.1377448/

Hi, So I've let a broody Barnevelder hen hatch some chicks, and she abandoned three that had the same markings, and all had these weird mite things on them. I'm not sure exactly what these mite things are, but they are really tiny, brown and shaped like a miniature flea. There are hundreds of...

Hi, feeling pretty desperate. My hen had slow crop/sour crop and has been lethargic but after treating her with nystatin she is improving. However, she’s not back to 100% and I’m noticing her rubbing at her eyes and her nictitating membrane is really visible quite often. It’s as though the...

Hi BYC, I got 50 broiler chicks and sufficient building material to construct one tunnel (a second one would be necessary so I could split the flock) but then lockdown happened and I couldn't get material for the second tunnel (our clever government doesn't realise that there's more to looking...

Noticed this when moving them outside for the first time, they had only ever been in a brooder so I’m not sure what it could be? And how to treat? It’s just this one chicken. Thanks

So, i'm starting this thread just to gain some advice because it's an issue i'll be tackling, I've noticed the past few weeks my roosters feet were beginning to look crusty, almost like skin is getting more and more on his legs. (I will take pictures) One thing I was concerned about was of...

I noticed a couple months ago that my rooster has these bald spots near his comb. Even though he is the dominant rooster I thought maybe the other rooster pulled some feathers out. My coop has also been treated for mites. He is the only chicken in this pen that looks like this. I also thought it...

Ok guys so i was going to do a mass corid treatment for my flock as some are carriers and I have now moved in some young untreated pullets from this summer. But my store was out of the 9.6% oral so I got 20% powder instead, what does dosage size change in response? All my girls are now full...

One of my hens has some redness on her foot. She has strange feet anyways...think a birth defect or something?..outside toes turn oddly and she has some kind of growths(had those for a long time-no issues) Not sure if she could have bumblefoot? I don't have any experience with it. Took some...

I had a time crawling all over internet articles that pertain to ducklings and chicks hatching with their yolks not being fully absorbed. Which seems to be surprisingly rare. This may sometimes occur when the duckling/chick is premature. All of the articles I came across had rather sad...
