I posted a separate thread a few days ago about my sapphire gem with vent gleet/prolapse. As this was my first issue with this I found many people with similar issues suggesting to use Monistat (both orally & topically). However, it was brought to my attention, and I found many articles that...
Hello again. I have a 8 month old hen Gabby who is not feeling well. She started sneezing & coughing (flemmy sounding) about a month & an half ago. Rattling when breathing. She was also gaping but not currently. She started losing a lot feathers on her belly (pretty bare under there) a...

Hello!
I took in a chicken from a friend of mine, who is really badly injured. She looks scalped, and looks to have lost one or both eyes. I started feeding her sugar water because she was clearly in shock, then fed her egg (not cooked) in a syringe, and regular water. She made it through the...
I found my hen yesterday afternoon with a bloody backside. After cleaning her off, I noticed some yellowish discharge from her vent. I suspect that she has a reproductive issue (I've noticed that one of my hens stopped laying the past few days and now I think it is her) and somehow that caused...
Started last weds after mite treatment.
Bird 1 started honking & sneezing the next day, also developed crop issue & vent gleet. Thought she had aspirated some fluid & ordered Fishmox & Tylosin powder, but despite paying extra for 2-day shipping, neither is expected to arrive before Tues-Thurs...

Hey everyone!

I have a young hen, a little over a year old that's isolating herself, and was the first one on the roost last night. She has white/yellow opaque liquid poo. Her comb is bright red, but she's moving slow and has messy tail feathers. When I let everyone out of the coop, she was sitting...
