Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I don't know what to do about Blossom. I think she was dealing with sour crop, and I thought that she was finally getting better. But she stopped eating and on Monday her crop started to swell a bit again. We'd been giving her antifungal medication (Nystatin, 30 mg / 2x day for 10 days). I don't know what else could be the matter, other than a relapse. (?) I don't know - does anyone have any advice? We don't live by a good vet for turkeys, and the vet we did try to go to just gave us very basic information.

Do you think that colloidal silver could help? I've heard that it's helpful for fungal infections/growths.

Sorry. I no nothing about turkeys

That's alright Thank you though!

Have any of your chickens ever had sour crop?

Yes they have. A couple of times. I was able to save two of them. But another one died.

I had to tube feed them with a little ACV in water, and hold them upside down till they ….. you get the idea.

The rooster helped but I think the goat gets the bigger credit for making the raptor give up. Amazing video.

Glad you all liked it, I thought it was pretty interesting having only heard about raptor attacks but never seeing one. They hit so hard!

The scary thing is that the hen had escaped until she hit the fence and that's when it grabbed her.

It brought to mind Shad's advice about providing lots of cover.

ESCAPE!

We had a breakout!

Someone, somehow, knew instantly that they out and about. How?

I can't believe they want to leave their lovely brooder already! They're still so tiny

What about Sha-na-na? (Might have been late 70s instead of early 80s )

No, not familiar with that one.
